MLB ushers in new era with Cubs-Athletics game in West Sacramento

WEST SACRAMENTO, Calif. — This is what failure looks like.

Just don’t tell the folks in the Sacramento area. They love the Athletics and love the idea of their beloved A’s playing in the shadow of Sacramento’s iconic Tower Bridge.

This is Kings country, but the A’s will be the ones treated like royalty while they play in a decidedly minor-league ballpark for the next few summers.

Just don’t call them the Sacramento A’s or the West Sacramento A’s because they are technically in another county — Yolo — on the west side of the Sacramento River.
