The San Francisco Giants shall no longer play in AT&T Park. Henceforth, they will play in Oracle Park.
The deal will be for 20 years and, according to Henry Schulman of the San Francisco Chronicle, could bring in more money than the AT&T deal did. So that is good. But let’s get to why it’s bad.
That beautiful yard, quite arguably the most beautiful in all of baseball, will forever be AT&T Park in my heart. It was named AT&T Park when Barry Bonds hit his 756th home run, when Matt Cain tossed a perfect game, and of course when the Giants won three world championships in a span of five years.
