Oakland A’s Fun Tidbits

I don’t care what anybody says. This was a beautiful place to watch a baseball game. Roy Steele’s voice over the loud speaker…”Now batting, number 21. Dwayne. Murphy. Those were good times my friends.

OAKLAND A’s fan’s hearts have been shattered and beat up as of late…but, here’s a moment to enjoy A’s fans.

Today we recognize our favorite athletes who’ve worn the number 22. I’ll start:

Sat in this area more times than I can count. Great seats! Who remembers how cold it could get when the sun went down and that shadow set in?

Pitchers & CATCHERS report today!

@nut_history I’m going Rickey, Steph, Reggie and Gene Upshaw. (Amazed at how many people are saying Marcus Allen, who never played a single game in Oakland.)

Who's on the Mount Rushmore of athletes that played in Oakland?

The pain for A’s fans is real. Baseball season is right around the corner and it feels like the grieving has just begun. I love A’s fans! Just want to say…we all feel it. You are not alone! #mlb #athletics

Bye Disingenuous Dave …ya rat!

Rickey, with a big smile, breaking records, in a dirt covered jersey with OAKLAND across his chest. This would have been an amazing statue. There might not be a statue in front of an Oakland Athletics baseball venue-but he stands immortal in our hearts. #RickeyHenderson

Heartbreaking news for A’s fans everywhere. Our love and condolences go out to Rickey Henderson’s family, friends, and fans. To Rickey: Thank you for the joy, passion, and countless smiles you brought to the game and to us all. Rest in peace, legend. 💛💚

Hall of Famer! Big Congratulations to one of my absolute favorite baseball players of all time! (Was one of my favorites even before he ever became an Oakland Athletic)

Just gonna leave this here. My heart goes out to Oakland and its fans today ❤️

Last games attendance (capacity): Expos: 35,000 (54,000) Browns: 55,000 (80,000) Oilers: 15,000 (62,000) A’s: 47,000 (47,000) No one claims Houston or Cleveland had terrible fan bases, undeserving of a team. A’s fans are there. They were just beaten down for 20 years by ownership.

Last homestand. 😭

Former Oakland A's CEO Wally Haas calls the decision to relocate the team to Las Vegas (via Sacramento) "frankly unforgivable," "hard to watch," and "indefensible." Years ago, Haas suggested that Fisher sell the team, but "Fisher didn't want to hear it." #Athletics

Folks, we have a BOMBSHELL! 🚨🚨‼️‼️ An A’s employee has shared with me the ACTUAL number of tickets remaining (2,757), while A’s website shows just 7 remaining! This CONFIRMS the A’s are holding seats back to create false scarcity and increase ticket prices!!!

Name me an obscure baseball player I’ll start. Craig Grebeck
