Summary

Yesterday it was announced that the Oakland A's will be playing in West Sacramento beginning next season for three years. On today's episode I talk about the facts...numbers that cannot be disputed regarding the franchise's attendance spanning seven decades. I feel bad for the A's fans, but the bottom line is they didn't support the team even when the A's were winning. I read an excerpt from Marcos Breton's column in yesterday's Sacramento Bee. He put it better than I could have. A's fans shouldn't be bitter at Sacramento. The A's and Oakland went through a divorce, which was approved by MLB. Yes, it sucks, but the A's are gone, just like the Raiders and Warriors before them! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
