the A's moved into the coliseum, prior to us landing on the moon. they had a dynasty in the 70s didn't get a new stadium. a WS in the 80s, didn't get a new stadium. greatest leadoff of all time, the bash bros in the 90s, didn't get a new stadium. a team worth making one of the great sports movies about in the 00s, didn't get a new stadium. they used to have billboards protesting the new stadium locally, cuz it didn't do this this and that, for local groups that had nothing to do with the stadium. so Oakland doesn't get baseball, serves the city right, not the ppl but the city fools. they viewed this as a cash grab for them. you would think they would learn from the Warriors and Raiders leaving but no. it's just a really poor city leadership over there. A's aren't doing anything the other sports haven't already done.. which is leave.

Oakland isn't friendly toward pro sports and they have no pro sports anymore.

i say this in jest, but that may be a bit of good that Milton did. the ballpark in tampa was like MLB in side a Costco warehouse. it was terrible. now the solution is not play ball in Oakland. that makes less than zero sense. and Oakland is even worse of a stadium than the old Rays stadium. just play ball in a spring training site in FL. Rays don't get attendance anyway. we need to just blow up the Coliseum so bad ideas like this don't take root.

Las Vegas stadium board chairman Steve Hill says public does not need to see Fisher documents validating Fisher's financial ability to build $1.5 billion stadium on Strip. "It's confidential."

It's no wonder Vivek and fisher are buds. They both suck a$$ as major league owners.

Getting ready to head out to the A's game in a couple hours for our first ever Major League Baseball game in my hometown of Sacramento. Yeah yeah, they aren't our team and we only have them for 3 years………and I plan to enjoy every second of A's baseball. The Sacramento kings suck…AGAIN, so a young, hungry, exciting A's squad is such a welcome sight here.
California A's of Sacramento™?

a game with 4+ HR
a game with 5+ XBH
a game with 6+ hits
a game with 6+ runs
a game with 8+ RBI
That one player is Nick Kurtz. He did it all tonight. pic.twitter.com/Uob1twG5uw
NICK KURTZ FOUR HOME RUNS IN ONE GAME! 🤯

First rookie in MLB history with four home runs in a single game! 💪 pic.twitter.com/Xip6UyFo0K
He was pretty close to having a 5th one go out of the park too.
