The Texas Rangers scored two runs but the Oakland Athletics scored three runs.
Fitting is it not? The deciding run of this contest came because Wyatt Langford misplayed a ball that he couldn’t see in the bright Bay Area sun during a day game at Oakland Coliseum. The ghosts got ‘em one last time.
Was Oakland Coliseum a decrepit dump unfit for Major League Baseball nearly a quarter of the way through the 21st century? Yeah, probably. It had its charms, though, believe it or not. The lush field grass in particular, when not ruined by the Raiders, was some of the finest in the league.
