•A’s made up their mind to leave in 2021
Don’t ever let them tell you that Oakland fans were the problem.
For 30 years, ownership had 1 foot out the door in Oakland and consistently low payrolls.
This clip is from the 2019 AL WC game, where the A’s set the attendance record for a WC game (54,005).
It's bad enough for Sacramento that the A's refuse to temporarily adopt the city's name while they play there for three (or more) years, but to ALSO plaster obnoxious logos of ANOTHER city on the outfield wall? Talk about an abusive relationship. #Athletics
My favorite team moved to a city that is one half hour closer to my house
I should be pumped. But I’m not
The @Athletics belong in Oakland.
I’ll follow on TV & radio
I will not buy tickets
If they commit to Sac i MIGHT be swayed, but yeah, the A’s belong in Oakland

@ZuluShakaTime@KleinschmidtJD I don’t see anyone mad tbh. Nobody that is or was an Oakland A’s fan has an issue with the team. They love the team it’s the ownership they’ve got an issue with, and you can’t look at what fisher has done objectively and not see how he has poorly ran the organization.
The Oakland Coliseum in 1990.
It had recently been renovated.
The A’s owner, Walter Haas, truly cared about the fans and the community and he was committed to Oakland.
They spent money on payroll, the team was great, and fans packed the house.
After winning a school record 34 games this season at @SFStateBaseball I have opened up my search for a Head Coach position or First Assistant opportunity. Please retweet or DM me! #Excited#CollegeBaseball
