It was different than any Oakland Athletics Fan Fest in decades. Long ago in a time far, far away Fan Fest had been held at Jack London Square in Oakland but for many fans these days, if in fact they were even born yet, those memories are short and fuzzy.
That isn’t the case anymore after Saturday’s 2017 Oakland Athletics’ Fan Fest. The venue was moved from Oracle Arena, where question and answer sessions were usually held, and the Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum, where the same clubhouse tours were always given and activities provided, to the waterfront at Jack London Square.
