Oakland A's Fans Protest With "Reverse" Boycott


 One of the great baseball stories of the year, Oakland A's fans filled the ball park to protest the proposed moving of the team to Las Vegas.   

A crowd of 27 thousand plus showed up Tuesday (June 13th, 2023), more than three times the team's home average to yell "sell the team!".  The owner, John Fisher, had raised ticket prices and refused to sign free agents and promising young players in an attempt to justify the team leaving.  A trick we had seen in Seattle with the Seahawks, who wound up being purchased by Seattle billionaire Paul Allen, fortunately staying here, and by the Seattle Super Sonics, whom we lost to Oklahoma City.
