It’s a 4-ring circus thanks to 1972, 1973, 1974, and 1989, all of which will forever remain rooted in Oakland. Now I’ve explained the 4 rings, and I know I don’t have to explain the circus part, not with the clown show of John Fisher and the walking, talking bobble head himself Dave Kaval, at the helm.
The question is: assuming MLBPA bends over like a Nevada lawmaker and gives its approval, what does it mean for the A’s that they are about to make their temporary home in Sacramento?
What it doesn’t mean, necessarily, is the end of A’s baseball in Oakland or the beginning of baseball in Las Vegas.
