As the Rockies and Athletics close out their three-game series at Coors Field, I can’t help but think about how his matchup could potentially not be happening in some sort of alternate universe. Major League Baseball told Oakland a month ago that they should go ahead and start looking at possible relocation destinations in hopes that would put pressure on Oakland’s local government to approve the construction of a new baseball stadium.
This isn’t the first time they’ve threatened to move just over 40 years ago however, the Oakland Athletics almost packed up and moved into the Rocky Mountain region to become the Denver Athletics.
