Happy Thursday, Athletics Nation!
The first two games of the 2022 Bay Bridge Series have come and gone, with the A’s splitting a win and a loss. But the usual playful competitiveness ratcheted up a bit, as Athletics President Dave Kaval took to Twitter to try and defend the Coliseum’s lagging attendance numbers by pointing the same finger at the Giants.
Kaval has amped up the Bay Area baseball rivalry in previous years as the face of some playful promotions. In 2018 and 2019, he was at the front of the line to help fans trade their Giants caps in for fresh A’s hats.
