If Sunday afternoon was any indication, the public has Mike Fiers' back.
In the A's right-hander's first appearance of spring training and first time toeing the rubber since blowing the whistle on the Houston Astros sign-stealing scandal, Fiers was cheered by the fans when he took the field against the Giants at Hohokam Park.
Fiers, who has received criticism from some and even death threats, said it was nice to feel the support from the fans.
While the reception was nice, Fiers is focused on the A's reaching new heights in 2020.
