Fuck man, the A's.

I wasn't around for a lot of the glory days, but even over the last decade and change I've been keeping up they have fielded some FUN teams. Ownership is trash ofc and the Coliseum is a lovable dump, but I'm grateful for all of the good times I had there growing up. I was always so excited to tell people that my great uncle factored in on those amazing teams in the late 80s, and it was awesome to go catch a game for like sub 20 dollars after work back when my office was located in Oakland.

The town and the fans deserve so much better than this. I know this isn't the final chapter for baseball in Oakland.

I'm sad about the As leaving Oakland. The As were never my team but my grandfather, who was born in SF and moved to Alameda when my dad was a kid, was a lifelong fan. He played semi-pro ball himself for three or four years.

In mid-80s I was flipping through baseball cards at a collectible show and found his baseball card from his time with the San Francisco Mission Reds, part of the Pacific Coast league. It was just before his 75th BDay and this is what I gave him.
