If I had to assume, I would’ve guessed that the Triple-A Syracuse Mets are a more popular draw to the ballpark than the Oakland Athletics. Seeing that it’s true isn’t surprising, but it’s still sad. For the A’s, at least.
JJ Cooper of Baseball America made an observation that of the 13 Triple-A games played on Tuesday, a whopping 11 of them drew more fans than the A’s did. In a walk-off win over the Cleveland Guardians, the announced attendance at the RingCentral Coliseum was just 3,407 fans.
As Michael Mayer of Metsmerized points out, the Mets’ Triple-A squad nearly doubled that:
Mets' Triple-A affiliate Syracuse Mets had announced attendance of 5,593 on Tuesday.
