ANAHEIM — After the A’s set franchise records for futility this season, there was one record broken and another milestone reached Sunday that may help them head into the winter on a positive note, despite their season-ending 7-3 loss to the Angels.Outfielder Esteury Ruiz broke Kenny Lofton’s American League single-season record by a rookie with his 67th stolen base. Then A’s journeyman outfielder Brent Rooker, the team’s lone All-Star this season, smashed his career-best 30th home run of the year.The A’s finished their funereal season at 50-112 after going 60-102 last year, posting the franchise’s worst record since the 1916 Philadelphia A’s went 36-117.  With reviled owner John Fisher’s Vegas relocation dreams hanging over the Coliseum, the A’s have endured their first back-to-back 100-loss seasons in Oakland and the franchise’s first since 1964-65 in Kansas City.But the two feel-good moments Sunday helped take the sting out of another loss. Rooker’s blast and Ruiz’s record s...
