Oakland Loses A’s, Last of 3 Major League Sports – Reggie Blasts City, Kostas says Ownership also At Fault

Bob Melvin: ‘I’ll always be an Oakland A.’

Editorial:
Oakland is about to lose last of 3 major sports teams after the As announced they ha e bought land in Vegas to build a stadium.

Bob Melvin: ‘I’ll always be an Oakland A.’

We don’t imagine the giants will be too upset if the As leave, based on their history of trying to block every possible LOCAL attempted A’s move in the past, i.e. San Jose, Fremont, Sacramento, you-name-it. NO, CONVERSELY, JINTS WILL BE ECSTATIC, Especially now with their less than stellar play and resulting attendance drop. But , will old As fans cross the bay , especially to see this product – now vying for last place after five .500 or below seasons-to see their long -time nemisis?

Of course, the oakland a’s ownership, John Fisher and company, while one of the wealthiest never really appeared to go all out for the team – It was like they were punishing their fans for not having a new stadium and wouldn’t spend the money- they even admitted -unless they got a new stadium.
