If you’re feeling antsy after a year of sheltering at home, then have I got good news for you. The Oakland A’s are offering a two-fer deal to begin the 2021 season — you get to watch live baseball, and you get to ride a roller coaster.
The A’s entered the year as established postseason contenders, coming off three October trips and an encouraging spring training performance. Winning was expected. However, they opened the regular season by losing their first six games, tying them for the worst start in franchise history.
Only the 1916 Philadelphia Athletics ever opened 0-6, and no A’s team ever did seven.
