Mayhem Guy Is An A's Fan

April 4, 2017 Peter Elliott

When you commit to writing a blog post every day like I have, there's an internal understanding that each post won't be substantive.

Today, I take a break from hard-hitting journalism.

Remember the Allstate Mayhem guy? 

Well, he's apparently an Athletics fan.
