It's been two months since A’s fans held a “reverse boycott.” But it kicked off what multiple fan groups are terming the “Summer of Sell.”
after decades of fostering a toxic workplace, A’s fans are left to wonder why Fisher is getting propped up, not kicked out, by Major League Baseball.
It kicked off what multiple fan groups are terming the “Summer of Sell,” in which Oakland supporters show up strongly at opposing venues – the better to keep their cash from Fisher – and enlighten supporters of other teams to join their cause and, against all odds, convince MLB owners to vote against approving their move to Las Vegas.
Ben was watching from his Alamo, California home when the “Sell the team!” chants boomed through the TV. A late-summer mother-son trip was hatched: Two games in D.C., an Amtrak ride to Baltimore to see Camden Yards, a couple days touring the monuments.While Ben has a handle on analytics and memorizes stats with aplomb, one number sticks out to him: 27,000, the crowd count for the reverse boycott game.
“The biggest thing for everyone is that ownership has blamed the fans for not showing up. And that's what they're going with and that’s not true.”Even a fan as young as Miller is left only with nostalgia – the Stephen Piscotty signature on his Kelly-green jersey, the not-so-distant past that included Matt Olson, Sean Murphy, Marcus Semien, Sonny Gray – 2023 All-Stars representing other teams.
It is a mutual piece of empathy, what with A’s fans cringing at the position their lads are in, a far cry from a club that just four years ago posted a second consecutive 97-win season and drew 55,000 fans to the Coliseum for the AL wild-card game. “If they move to Vegas, I just have to accept it. I can't change that. But once Fisher's gone, then I'll probably fly out to Vegas and go to a game. Once I know that the new owner is going to actually put product on the field.”Rep. Barbara Lee can’t control the A’s roster. But the Democratic congresswoman from Oakland, an A’s fan since Rickey Henderson’s salad days, is trying to flex her legislative muscles.
