The Oakland A’s are the early winners of photo day

It's that time of the spring when baseball players are taking their annual photos — and that usually means a whole lot of entertainment. You'll be seeing more in the coming days here on The Stew, but even in the early stages of photo day, it's obvious the Oakland Athletics are killin' it.

Josh Reddick wins the best picture of the spring so far:

Manager Bob Melvin looks like a bad-ass from the Old West:

Closer Grant Balfour is already ready to rage:

Outfielder Coco Crisp is apparently starting a spring training band:

Pitcher Andrew Carignan lookin' like a "Son of Anarchy."

Bartolo Colon lookin' like an old-school WWF wrestler.

Here's Reddick again, who celebrates his 26th birthday on Tuesday, and looks happy about it.

Here's hoping there's no Comic Sans on the birthday cake, Josh.

Spring training is here. Stretch out with us.
