LAS VEGAS - Former A’s manager Tony La Russa, now a member of baseball’s Hall of Fame, served on the committee that added one of his former Oakland players to the Hall this week, and he was happy to detail Monday why Harold Baines made the cut.

“Of all the players over the years, Harold was No. 1,” said La Russa, who managed Baines at the Double-A level and with the Chicago White Sox before reuniting with him in Oakland. “He was a certified star at Double A. The great players slow the game down and he did that all the time in Chicago and Oakland. In Oakland, we were looking for a clutch hitter (in 1990) and that’s when we got Willie McGee and Harold - Harold always had the ability to drive in a big run, and he really helped in Oakland.
