A’s break fans’ hearts again with Vegas relocation news
Ryan Thibodaux arrived in the Bay Area in 1995 from Texas and instantly became a fan of the Oakland Athletics.
The news came Wednesday night from team president Dave Kaval, who said Oakland signed a binding agreement to buy land on a 49-acre site near the Las Vegas Strip to build the intimate ballpark they’ve always coveted but couldn’t pull off in the Bay Area. Oakland’s last professional team lost its luster long ago for many supporters who were increasingly frustrated and furious about a rise in season ticket prices and $30 parking fees — not to mention the carousel of players.
After being swept by the Cubs this week at home, the team had already lost five games by 10 or more runs. The only seasons since moving to Oakland in 1968 when the A’s had more than five double-digit losses for an entire season were 1996 , 2008 , 1984 and 1979 . Past A’s players say they’re sad about the state of the franchise, too, like the Mets’ Mark Canha, who always tried to focus on the positives of playing in Oakland.
