“I get why people aren’t going to games, but it feeds a false narrative. I thought, doing the opposite, showing up, will set the record straight,” said organizer Stu Clary.
Clary’s social media newsfeeds were filled with fellow A’s fans also furious they were being blamed for the slow death of baseball in Oakland. He saw MLB commissioner Rob Manfred point to sparse crowds at the Coliseum as a key reason the team needs to abandon its home of 55 years and start over in the Las Vegas desert.“I get why people aren’t going to games, but it feeds a false narrative,” Clary said. “I thought, doing the opposite, showing up, will set the record straight.
“The idea is to pack the on a random weeknight, showing MLB and the country that us fans are not the problem,” Clary tweeted on April 13, days before the team announced its first binding agreement for potential ballpark land in Las Vegas. “Hope to see you there.”Longtime fan Bryan Johansen is replacing his player banners that for years have draped the outfield facades with brand new ones urging Fisher to sell the team.
“If you’re an A’s fan, it’s like being at war,” said Casanares, an Oakland resident. “When you go to games, it’s not about what’s happening on the field. It’s about figuring out how to wake people up to talk about what’s going on.” Going back to the days of Charlie Finley, A’s owners have largely followed a pattern of culling the stars they grew and placating fans with a promise that the cycle would one day end.
“I think they started to view their fans as another one of their enemies,” A’s fan Hal Gordon, also known as Hal the Hot Dog Guy, said. “There’s an implicit bargain that fans are going to show up when your team is terrible. Not everybody, but fans will. And they’ll have fun. Because that’s their team.”
