The Oakland A’s were killed by greed. Do not allow the people responsible for this to spin it any other way. John Fisher did not have to move this team. Major League Baseball and its owners did not need to be complicit in it. This was a choice. A wrong one. History will sneer.
That Rickey Henderson earned a first-ballot election into the Hall of Fame was not a surprise. The point of the game is to score the most runs, and he scored more than anyone. He stole almost 500 more bases than anyone else. 297 homers. He reached base more than 5,000 times -- 3,055 hits and 2,190 walks. The surprise was that 28 of 539 HOF voters didn't include him on their ballots. Incomprehensible. One of the greatest players ever.

“There’s nothing more evil than an owner of a sports team that treats their fans like shit. And John Fisher is the king of it. It should be illegal what he’s doing. He is taking away joy from an entire city.”
