There is a familiar meme amongst anguished A’s fans that there is but one hurdle left for the Fisher/Kaval group to clear and that is the faint hope MLB owners might vote down relocation by failing to offer the necessary 75% support.
Don’t hold your breath on this one, as it appears the only path to a “no” vote is if there is a massive hotel break-in and owners return to their rooms to find someone has absconded with their rubber stamp.
This vote is not about logic, facts, or figures. If you need proof just consider that the owners are poised to ignore their own rules, which state a team must procure an interim location to play its home games before it even submits the application.
