This video was an excellent documentary about the final Oakland A's game. You're a genius Captain 🙌
I'm originally from Chicago, Thank you for recording a sad part of MLB history.
Lmao “…its about to be Friday, I got NO job, and I aint got shit to do” id give that man a jazz cigarette!
classic movie reference gotta love it
This may be your best video ever
You two were THE BEST GUYS to document this experience. I'm gonna watch this over and over, so many tears shed here at home, your love of baseball and humanity captured so purely here. THANK YOU
Just unfortunate and wrong on so many levels. The fans are definitely being robbed
Yet not one of those A's fans showed any EMPATHY with all of the other team's fans that have relocated in the past... So why should America give a damn when the A's relocate to another city?
Idk the city can't afford a new park, and that place is a dump. The fans stopped going to games yrs ago. I think they needed to move.
I do feel bad for them they lost the raiders and the a's now. It has to suck that's for sure, but where they been the place been empty for yrs.
Oakland always sucked 😂
Crazy George is a freaking legend !!!! Love ya mate Tony from Australia
Pennants were won in 1902, 1905, 1910, 1911, 1913, 1914, 1929, 1930,and 1931. The teams of 1910, 1911, 1913, 1929,and 1930, won the World Series. The Athletics have rightfully been proclaimed "Philadelphia's Most Successful Sports Franchise".
I think if they returned Philadelphia would welcome them, I also do not understand how the Phillies were kept to be honest.
Good morning CAPTAIN!! It's sad the A's have been one of baseball's best teams year in and year out with no help from the owner 😮 it's sad now you have the devil Rays that have been in the same boat with a cheap ass owner a broken down stadium but truly great fans that get piest on by the owners .The League needs to put a end to idiots wanting a team but don't want to pay for the up keep like Oakland and Tampa.always good stuff bro 🤠
Baseballs best teams😂😂😂😂😂Man Oakland was always garbage 😂😂😂
Go Yanks
@@jaybruno3571 not the best in baseball, however for many years competed with New York spending a fourth of the Yankees pay role and how many times has the Yankees and Boston got very good players from the Oakland Garbage? Oh when was the last time New York won the world series or even in the world series 14 years ago 😁🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@LarryScott-c2p Oakland hasn’t won since 1989 the yanks 2009
And we have 27 rings 😂
@@jaybruno3571 I'm a baseball fan of all teams let's face it baseball needs to stop giving teams to cheap ass owners Oakland,Tampa ,ect I'm a Detroit man and our Red Wings used to do the same thing buy the good players . Hopefully your Yankees can get back to the show and should have no problem doing it at least they don't cheat like Houston.good talk bro
Thank you for capturing this! So many memories in that ballpark, lately not alot of good memories. Eff Fisher
Duct tape in a stadium. Priceless.
I legit teared up several times while watching this video. I feel so much for the fans in Oakland mannnnn. They can't catch a break first Raiders now this. I hope something cosmic shinanigans happen and somehow the team gets sold and they can stay.
I am so happy you seen this with Philadelphia being the original home of the A's and you from Philadelphia.
Thank you for coming to the Oakland A's game it sucks so much it's our last game ever there. thank you for your guys's support. means a lot💯👍🙋 hey the Oakland A's came from Philadelphia first. LETS GO OAK-LAND!!!!!
Takes a guy from Philly to do a great local story. So many memories of the facility. Nice to see it full for the last time. Can't remember when I subscribed but you've done a lot of vids worth watching over the years.
The Philly Captin and Adam the woo the best TH-cam duo ever. Fantastic video loved this whole California trip thanks for the laughs
Thanks for helping to document this sad day > I could have gone but didn't have it in me > I began going to Raider & A's games in '68 when the A's moved in > Father had Raider season tix from old Yuell Field at Laney College & he bought 50 yd line bleacher seats for the Coliseum > attended 2 World Series games in the back to back to back run in the early 70's & pretty much grew up in that Stadium ... High School days taking bart on Friday night to the games...$1 hot dogs, etc > will always bleed both Silver and Black & Green & Gold... forever my DNA.
Safe to say this will be the only Fanbase to lose all 3 Professional Teams...& the Football Team TWICE!! ...pain no loyal Fan should ever experience.
BTW..."Holy Toledo" was made famous by Bill King (RIP) ... Classic Announcer for the Raiders, A's & Warriors > even have a Bill King Bobblehead 😁
& for the Record...since 1968 the A's have the best home team winning % / record at .555 > what the radio announcers said yesterday anyway.

A terrific video of such a sad loss for the fans of Oakland. I’m glad we have John Middleton.
Great reporting and talking to the fans.
That's how we felt when the Vet Closed, the Spectrum Closed and JFK Closed felt Teary Eyed 😢 #EndOfAEra
Great job Captain! Sad day for baseball.
My first time to the Coliseum I was eight years old and it was April of 1968, NY vs Oak. Micky Mantle homered in the first and the A's walked it off in 11. My parents were from Philly and their first date was an A's game in 1948. Bob Feller went a 1/3 of an inning. My Mom's first time to Shibe Park was 1936, her all time favorite A's player was Wally Moses. My brother worked for the organization at the Coliseum in the mid 80's to mid 90's. By that time I had moved to Alaska, but I always made it down to the Coliseum for World Series and Grateful Dead New Years runs. I snuck into the 89 World Series by going through the front office with my brother, shaking Sandy Alderston's hand along the way (the Haas family, now those were owners). I raised two A's fans in Alaska by being their LL & HS BB coach/umpire and taking them to a week of Spring Training games every March with their Granma for a decade 96 to 06. A favorite memory being Mohamed Ali patting my son on the head and giving him an autograph on Barry Zito's leg on the cover of the program while he entered an A's Spring Training game in the 2nd inning to a standing ovation, that and all the foul balls and autographs. I've watched damn near every A's game since streaming has been a thing, and lately have had a Vuvuzela by my side while watching the game. Before that we used to get the A's on TV sometimes on Sundays, the highlight being watching Dallas Braden's perfect game with my son or taking both my young sons to the Bar to watch the 20 wins in a row game. I took off work for Game 162. I made my last trip to the Coliseum in May, for the Texas series, finishing off with a Double Header sitting in Sec. 119 at the top of the A's tunnel. Almost to where you made it for the end of the game. I hope you came away with an appreciation for the Coliseum , I always thought it should have become the Fenway of the cookie cutter era.Maybe it had a chance before Mt. Davis? You did a nice job capturing the final game. Now all of that has to come to an end because of one man. FJF............Let's Go Oakland
Ya know whats absolute garbage??? This game shoulda been for the fans and by that i mean no charge to enter. There was sum couple more thousands of people that couldnt get in!! F*** fischer and f*** kaval and sell the team.
Captain be greatful your owner puts into the fabase and field and players so you can enjoy october baseball yearly and have a great experience!!
I’m born and raised in south Jersey but I lived in Oakland from 2015-2020. I went to many games at the coliseum and it definitely was a relic of a bygone era. A lot of champions played there in its 58 year history
A few upgrades like seats, paint, restrooms, and other stuff and I would have been fine with the A’s playing at the Coliseum for years and years. Hell i would have been fine with no upgrades if they stayed.
I always enjoy when we get Captain extended cut..the longer videos are the best
I have been to Dodger Stadium, Angel Stadium, Yankees Stadium and Oakland, I can honestly had the best fans. Really cool people.
I’ve been to all MLB stadiums and this one was always the worst 😂😂😂😂😂😂garbage team too
Go yanks
Thank you Philly Capt. What an excellent video.... capturing the feel of another "blue collar" town being destroyed, in favor of the big money, "tech," and related assholes. This is the last straw for Oakland itself.
Hey Cap !! HOF tix holder here. This is an instant classic !! Well done. As a baseball fan from South Jersey, it was even sad for me to see. And remember, "It's always fun, in 301."
I think it’s so funny how that stadium is in such bad shape and security is getting so upset for people who are taking cup holders. Like seriously, what a horrible organization.
I took 4 😭😭fuck em security wasn’t even mad at me guess it was a good section
Holy Toledo is from the legendary announcer Bill King whom used to be the radio voice for the A’s and Warriors.
Hey captain can’t wait to watch your movie
Hey Captain great video with Adam at the Oakland A's final baseball game in the Colesium..Enjoy on and Tootles..
Every team has a different fan culture. As baseball fans, we might know our own teams fan culture, but only get glimpses of how other fans supporting their teams. Oakland A's fans were about as blue collar as you can get. As sports shift to being more and more corporate, it's a shame that this culture is now lost. Thank you for documenting at least a small portion of what these fans were like.
Fun fact about the A's when the Oakland coliseum opened Shibe Park/ Connie Mack Stadium was still open in Philly and hosting the Phillies
Captan, thanks for doing this video. A few years ago my sister and her boyfriend moved up to Oakland (from the Los Angeles area where I still live). So I went up to visit her and being a huge baseball fan (Dodger fan) I went to my first Oakland A's game at the Oakland Coliseum, at the time I believed what the national sport media said about Oakland, no fans with no passion. Well the Oakland fans proved me wrong. OAKLAND A's fans are some of the best if not the best fans in baseball, for sure the most passionate, more passionate then fans of my team. I flew up a few weeks ago to go to 2 more games, the Coliseum has so much character the fans are amazing with drums, cowbells, flags, chants, and they say; "Let's go Oakland". No other teams chants for their city. John Fisher is the worst, MLB will never have a fan base like Oakland.
Holy Toledo is what legendary broadcaster bill king used to exclaim when a great play was made. Rest in peace bill…he’s turning in his grave seeing this happen I’m sure…😓
This is so sad. I hate this for A's fans.
Fyi John Fisher also owns the SJ Earthquakes and is currently running them into the ground too.
Great video Captain! You really captured the essence of a monumental day…
The interesting thing is the vendors outside had the heart to make those shirts. The store itself had a bunch old stuff with tons of players not there not anymore and I'm not talking legends lol
It was like they just wanted to load off load inventory
Krazy george is a legend he used to go to northlands in Edmonton and hype up the oilers during the Gretzky era.
Very good content with Adam. Your best !
29:53 I feel like I've become an Oakland A's fan today!
All I got to say is Thank God we got John Middleton Let’s Go
I see myself at 24:03 haha but I can’t believe the A’s is leaving🥺
That was great getting all the fans on your video to share their stories.
How did you get to field level for the last pitch?
Krazy George the man who invented the wave in the 1981 playoffs I think. Dude is a legend. Ray Fosse was also the A’s catcher during the 73 and 74 World Series victories. Dude was an announcer throughout my childhood. RIP former owner Walter Haas, the guy kept us top 10 in payroll and attendance. It’s fuck John Fisher everyday!
They’ve been doing the wave since the 70s in other teams 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Video gold... Really good one.. Thanks
This is just sad. I feel so bad for all these fans.
Sad😢
I was there and there's nothing like an Oakland A's game. The most passionate, crazy, knowledgeable fans in baseball.Something that will never be duplicated in Vegas, with tourists and guys who have bets on them.
Salute Philly cap this means a lot
Horrible owner did those fans wrong. I’ve been watching Vegas logs and he’s already off to a bad start there, if they ever get that stadium built where he wants it… they’ve already taken out the Tropicana
The State and region is so desperately broken. Baseball is so low on priorities. State is a shit show.
What a cool thing to do.
Glad my TH-cam algorithm popped this up!
Lifelong, diehard A’s fan living in PA the last few years and got to be out there as well. Watching this in the airport on the way back to PA. Thanks for the coverage man, I can’t believe baseball is over at the Oakland Coliseum. Oakland deserves better.
Haven’t been able to post my stuff from this game yet, it’s been really emotional losing our last team and the most important team to me as an East Bay native. FJF Oakland forever!
I hope the Phillies win it all this year brother!
I am glad you got to go the Oakland Coliseum .Its so sad .
Im a Giants fan but would goto games with my friends family, my best memory is catching a Rickey Henderson home run ball.
I GUESS THERE IS GOOD PHILLY FANS AFTER ALL LMAO…. AYE THANK YOU FOR COMING AND EXPERIENCING THAT EAST BAY FEEL MY DAD GREW UP LIVING AROUND THE ARENA I WAS “MADE” in that neighborhood Lol it was my first job they filmed angels in the outfield there one time… they even played tower of power at the end east bay Oakland legends I’m happy you got the feeling of it thank you sir… I cried like a baby didn’t cry when niners lost numerous nfc playoff Super Bowl games didn’t cry when warriors won there first title in 15 or when we beat the Celtics but that game I cried like someone died it’s just the end of out identity and culture it’s like ripping ny Yankees hats from New Yorkers heads that’s just how we feel
cool to see you went
Great job documenting the final A's game in Oakland. My family is from Philadelphia and my Uncles were big A's fans. Sad day for baseball......oh yea - Todd still stinks! Let's Go!!!!! 👍✌
I was there
I’m not defending the owner but the fans in Philadelphia and Kansas City felt bad too, the first time they came back to the Vet I made sure I went
I feel Oakland pain when my Houston oilers Left broke my heart so I understand Oakland is great sport's City
I think they dont sell those upper deck seats for safety concerns. I know I wouldnt want to be under them with people up there. The place is held together with duct tape.
Nope. They literally were too lazy to hire people to simply clean and restore(not structurally) mt. Davis. There was even a petition with volunteers I think there was like 80 ppl that signed up to do it but they declined. I’ve been up there recently sneaking around and it’s literally a storage area and trash dump
The Upper Decks have been sealed off bc no one went to games and it was embarrassing seeing all those empty seats up there so they got covered up 😂😂😂
Oakland sucks 😂
@@jaybruno3571 oh that’s the embarrassing thing right not ownership ok
@@Jacob-jv2cj well that and the team always sucked 😂
@@jaybruno3571 always? Rly showing your mlb knowledge 🤦♂️🤦♂️and no it hasn’t been 30 years since we’ve been competitive and a winning franchise.
Montreal in 2004. Oakland 2024. MLB needs to stop allowing owners to ruin teams. 😢 the fans stop coming because the owners don’t care. Do you really think the owner of the A’s will change his ways in Las Vegas? Jeffery Loria killed the Montreal Expos then bought the Florida Marlins, extorted a new ballpark out of the city, then screwed that team too. I feel so bad for Oakland and the fans. That team had so much history just in Oakland. FJF!!
@12:00 'Ray' is Ray Fosse who was a '70 and '71 Cleveland Indian Allstar catcher who Pete Roae leveled in the 71 Allstar game
This entire thing felt like a fever dream and as a baseball fan, truly heartbreaking. The passing of time, started just off Broad Street. I cried in joy & sadness. Fantastic fucking job Jon. Thank you for doing this. Shout outs to the security giving fans dirt.
Lifelong As fan and former season ticket holder - great video
Thank You ….FJF
Probably the best video of the last game on TH-cam. Thanks, great job.
Thanks Captain for being there, showing the event, and supporting the A’s. This is truly heart breaking.
Thanks for the memories 💚💛
4:44 Great seeing you at the Coliseum for the last game Philly Captain! Thank you for coming out to Oakland, seeing you really brightened one of the toughest days!
Quite possibly one of your most impactful videos and it did not involve our beloved Phillies. Thank you for this Captain. And god bless the Oakland A's fans. My heart is crushed for that community and their love for the A's. Powerful video.
That stadium has been a trash heap for a while now. I lived in SF from around 2005-2009, went to a few games when the Yankees were in town or if I had tix. It’s always fun to see a game, but that place was never one that enhanced the MLB experience. Sorry, it sucked as a baseball venue.
Mt. Davis would 1000% have sold out as well. It’s a glorified storage unit right now. Been up there recently and there was tons of soda syrup, old sink vanities, empty cardboard boxes, smaller concession stands that are too old or just not in use. It’s bullshit.
Good shit cap
Great Perspective Captain! Awesome job Yo!
Amazing video, Captain. Feels like the day was a Commencement ceremony where the graduates knew there wasn't a future.
Krazy George is the Philly Captain in the future! Uncanny.
Glad you guys documented it.Thank you very much
Adam, this is your best video of the year, very enjoyable to watch. Much respect to you for sharing us the last A's game.
I really wish I had a chance to see this stadium, although it was an old football stadium it was unique and massive.....
Good stuff Cap. They deserve better and MLB needs to do a Donald Sterling and get rid of him
Oakland A's. we hit it first! #philly The young kid was talking like he's geeked up lol.
First the warriors then the raiders and now the a’s very unfortunate for oakland😢
was so many unique features, and im sure most away teams hate it, but the drum line is the best, why cant all teams have this? besides "its annoying"
Gonna miss the A’s. Definitely not following them anywhere
I saw the Adam video with you the Oakland a s are lucky the umpires did not call the game and make the a s forfeit the game they could have easily done that
They do have enough people to do concessions, do they wanna pay tho? Nope. Penny pinchin
I never got to go to this park I’m a padres fan but I want to go still tho but now I can’t I hate John fisher
What an awesome perspective of capturing the final game.
10:30 the youth gives me hope. He’s absolutely spot on
Great job by you and Adam captain great video
If they move to Vegas, the names gotta be the "Vegas Aces"
Well done…. Thanks for sharing!
John Fisher can rot. Great vid tho!
Charlie Finley had ZERO Money and won 3 in a row
I echo exactly what homeboy said at the end!!
Thanks for the awesome video
