“They messed with the wrong fan base,” founder of Last Dive Bar fan club says
Oakland Athletics fan and organizer Jorge Leon, talks with Doreen Gapuz, of Alameda, during a “Reverse Boycott” event at the Coliseum in Oakland, Calif., on Tuesday, June 13, 2023. Stu Clary, of Vacaville, a longtime Oakland A’s fan, came up with the idea in hopes of packing the Coliseum with fans to support the team despite their possible move to Las Vegas.
Johansen said, “The vote was expected, but disheartening because it shows all the other owners have co-signed to Fisher’s treatment of the fans. It’s a stab in the back from what MLB preaches: believe in your team and it’s so much more than yourself.” Almost as soon as the vote totals were announced, the largest A’s fan groups – Johanson’s “Last Dive Bar”, the Oakland 68s and others – began plotting events and methods to slow Fisher’s roll to the desert. Another gathering was held Thursday night to further strategize.
There is a special boycott planned for Opening Night – March 28 against Cleveland when the A’s begin what figures to be their final season in Oakland. “I understand what they want to do, but me personally, I don’t think I could skip the whole season,” said McNeil, who has missed just a handful of home games since becoming a season-ticket holder in 2010. “I want to make as many memories as I can and enjoy it while it’s still here, because I won’t ever watch a baseball game in Las Vegas. That is not going to happen.”
