In this paper I will approach Robert Creeley and some later writers’ confusion about and misreadings of the poetry of Louis Zukofsky through the case of the Oakland A's, a baseball team that both Creeley and Ron Silliman erroneously connected to Zukofsky's long poem ‘A’. I will open this quite specific account to a more general approach towards the Language Poets’ readings of Zukofsky, readings that reveal as much about those poets’ practices as Zukfosky's.
