My wife and I have a friend who is in deep mourning. She has been an Oakland Athletics fan her entire adult life and the As have played their last game in the Oakland Coliseum. They will play for three years in Sacramento (!) before moving into their new home in Las Vegas.
Some elderly people in Philly are laughing.
Or Kansas City. I wondered if there were some sort of support group for Philadelphia, Kansas City, and Oakland fans.
40 years seems to be the team’s life expectancy in any one town.
Philly sports radio didnt give it a ton of coverage but it did get some. The recent teams have been so bad it’s hard to believe that they were the dominant team in the early 70s.
