I did manage to see an A’s game at the Oakland Coliseum before the installation of Mt. Davis and at the time, I remember thinking, “Wow, their stadium is so much nicer than the Giants’.” Of course, the Giants had my heart so it didn’t matter... but all my friends were A’s fans.
So, the reason I’ve had a chip on my shoulder during this whole ordeal — that, hopefully, prevents John Fisher from ever being seen in public again — is because a very small and ugly man has hurt some very dear friends of mine. Baseball teams might be considered a public good by the public, but we also understand that that’s a wish upon a star.
