The comparison is blatantly unfair. There are apples and oranges, and Giants and A’s. Brunch for one Bay Area franchise consists of fresh bagels and cream cheese, while the other is a daily ration of burned toast without butter or jam.
For the Giants, home is where the heart is, a jewel of a ballpark with sweeping views and new downtown skyscrapers framing the familiar picture seemingly by the season. For the A’s, life is temporary housing. Though Major League Baseball officials swear a resolution on the stadium situation will be reached by the end of the 2017 season, in the meantime, they share the complex with the departing Warriors and Raiders, and any number of little creatures who make appearances during those occasional clubhouse flooding and sewage spills.
