  • The Oakland Athletics just played their Last Major League Baseball game in Oakland. And I wouldn't miss it for the world. This is how fans really feel, what it was like to be there, and what went down at the game.
    Thank you so much to everyone who talked to me or appeared in this video, and everyone who said hi at the game. Let's Go Oakland!

      I went to my first A's game when i was 12 and now after many years Diehard A's i dont know if i can get excited about MLB anymore, my deep love for baseball has moved to the Ballers, those games still have some oakland fan feel

      Ahhh yes! I was hoping you'd see this! The cult classic comparison is such a good one. It might be imperfect, but you'll never recreate the feeling of Oakland Baseball. If you wouldn't mind sharing the pictures I'd love to see them! My email is nicetomeetyouadam@gmail.com, or if there's a better way to check them out let me know. Thanks!

    My fiancé was the biggest fan. He actually took me there on a date all the way from Fresno as a Surprise. I got to make it to a game in August for his birthday in his memory. He passed away last year and would have definitely been there for their last way. I went to many games over the past years I was with him.

    The last pitch was thrown, the A's win but this didn't feel like a victory. I sat up from my seat, but I did not clap. I could not clap. Not because I wasn't happy about the hard earned win from the A's, but because it was that moment that I knew it was over. As Kotsay gave his speech, tears ran down my face and I cried tears and felt sadness that I can only compare to losing a loved one.
    Years of my life starting from 7 years old were spent here watching the A's. Seeing greats play such as Jose Canseco, Mark McGwire, Rickey Henderson, Dave Stewart, Ben Grieves, Eric Chavez, Miguel Tejada, and many many more. I was a 2nd generation of A's fan, raising my 3rd generation, and dreaming of someday bringing my future grandkids here for a 4th generation A's fan. My wife and I going to games our first year together by hopping on Bart and turning her into a huge A's fan that hardly missed a game in the last 5 years.
    The memories flooding through my mind only compounding these feelings of loss. As the tears rolled down my face I looked to the people on my left and right. There was hardly a dry eye around me with almost every man, woman, and child crying.
    I'll never forget this day, nor will I ever forgive John Fisher. #SelltheTeam

    Die Hard Orioles fan here. What a bittersweet day today. We have gone a remarkable 91-71 on the year in spite of all the injuries and tough games. So excited for the playoffs on Tuesday.
    But this right here, this hits hard and deep for anyone who is a true MLB fan. Oakland A's are one of the most beloved and storied franchises in all of baseball. Arguably the best stretch of any team outside of the Yankees when they won 3 straight around 50 years ago. This is just the epitome of greed and corruption that has spilled over into all parts of society. My sympathy to the A's fans, we're all with you.

    End of the game reminded me of watching Eckersley close out games in the late 80's. We called him the "car keys pitcher" cause when he came in the game, you grabbed your car keys, it was over. I vividly remember sitting in the coliseum watching Eck pitch and if someone even fouled a ball off it was something to gasp at. Glad he got the save in the 89 series because it would have been so wrong if giving up that HR in 88 ended up being his WS legacy.
    Great reporting by the way, despite being "just some random dude with a camera", yours was a much better report than any of those clowns with the media passes.

    I stopped following the A's and baseball in general a few years ago, but I had some great memories of the pure craziness of Billy Ball starting in the late 70's (Run Rickey Run!); the Bash Brothers, Eckersley, and those great teams at the end of the 80's; and being the ultimate underdogs who entertained the fans and pulled off near miracles through Moneyball in the early 2000's. My first in person Major League baseball game was at the Oakland Coliseum in 1987, and there will always be a place in my heart for the OAKLAND A's.

      These comments don't come from a vacuum. The A's were last in home attendance the last three years and second to last the year before that. Obviously, this reflects the quality of the team on the field or lack thereof, and the aging stadium didn't help.

    I live in Arizona and when I was young. Our team was the Oakland As my grandfather introduced me to Vida Blue and blue moon Odom. Cool guys like Rollie fingers that would sit with the fans when they weren’t pitching. Then in 1989 there was an earthquake in the World Series and the As came to Phoenix to stay sharp. I went to see them practice in Phoenix. During the World Series. My oldest son and I hit back into baseball because of the As during spring training again. Their fans were the best and I would see them year after year. Our Mesa As we called them. They have (had) the best most faithful and friendly fans in the mlb. By far. Oakland can get a bad rap but dammit. It’s a baseball town and I hope they get their team back. I will not support Las Vegas As.

    It's eerie how this is similar but also different to when the Rams and Raiders left LA at the same time. Both teams' owners were wildly unpopular in LA, but I don't remember there being much sadness about the teams leaving. The sentiment was more like "see ya, don't let the door hit you on the way out."

    I live in Sacramento and am not much of a sports fan. But it's been interesting seeing people's reactions to this; most people in Sac are just as unhappy about this as folks in Oakland. And the stadium the A's are relocating to is really not made for an MLB team; our minor league team does just fine, and I hear it's great place to bring your family, but definitely not meant for huge crowds.

    Born and raised in the Bay but I only started getting into baseball this year after going to my first game on a whim in Toronto. I might lack the nostalgia factor for the A's but that doesn't make this move any less upsetting/bewildering and not hearing Oakland before A's just feels plain wrong.
    I, like many others, hope this whole move "plan" implodes and Fisher is forced to come crawling back with his tail between his legs. And in an ideal world he'd dump both the A's and the Quakes to someone who actually cares. The Sharks might have been the joke of the NHL last season but the fanbase is infinitely more positive because the ownership is actually trying.

    I'm not a baseball fan, but I spent the first and third decades of my life in the East Bay, was taken to a fair number of A's games as a kid, as well as Oakland Bay Bombers and the Harlem Globetrotters in the Arena (and the Ringling Bros and Barnum & Bailey circus). I also saw my first rock concert (Van Halen) at the Arena, and went to a couple of Days on the Green in the stadium.
    That's a thing that gets left out of a lot of discussions about stadium ownership and funding - they're not just for sports, but for all sorts of large cultural events. That's a big part of why I believe they ought to be publicly owned (the same way the Port is); certainly, if public money is going into building them and keeping them up, we should own what we're paying for.
    I talked about how the Coliseum site needs to take full advantage of its excellent mass transit connectivity by redeveloping the enormous parking area into more productive uses - residential and commercial - and that the first steps toward that happening appear to be underway. The other thing that has to happen, of course, is to have some serious money put into fixing up both the stadium and the arena - or perhaps rebuilding from scratch, depending on how the options pencil out. Whether to keep the stadium as a baseball/gridiron combo or to split them into separate facilities, idk. But whatever happens, the way it is now, falling apart as it is, is untenable.

Once the die was cast that Fisher wasn't staying in Oakland, i bailed. Sure, some will take offense with my decision and that's fine. I refuse to give any more of my money to a multi-billionaire who shows such contempt, such disdain, such disregard for the fans.

    I just watched this & then your previous video about Willie Mays Park* vs the Coliseum, and one big difference wasn't mentioned:
    The Oakland Coliseum is surrounded by an enormous parking moat, twice the size of the facility itself. Willie Mays Park is surrounded by a neighborhood. That's why, while the Coliseum is actually *better* connected by BART, the walk from the BART station to the ballpark in San Francisco is more pleasant, though much longer, than in Oakland. The other reason why the walk (or Muni ride) is so nice, and why it's possible to have a ballpark there at all, is because we got rid of the godawful Embarcadero Freeway.
    I understand why so many folks love the tailgating scene in the parking lot, but for the Coliseum to survive as a facility, it's going to have to go, or at least be severely cut back, in favor of building _buildings_ in that space for people to live and businesses to do business in. I've been encouraged lately to read that there's an investment group fixing to do that.
    There will be a lot of nostalgia for the lost car culture, just as there is for the long-ago defunct drive-in theater that was there when I was a kid - but for the good of all, it's got to go.

      Still very much in the early conceptual stages, and anything could happen in the decade it's estimated to take to finish whatever it turns out to be. I'll be peeking in at it every now and again as it comes to mind, much as I did with the California High Speed Rail project back when it was first conceived & given a website back in 1996.

    13:22 The guy in white on the field was from my section and his family was cheering him on when they saw him on the field. Between that and people throwing food and drink from all the sections spraying fans and personnel alike, it left me with a bad taste in my mouth.
    Overall though, I really liked the PA lady and Kotsay's speeches. It felt so surreal that I just sat in my section for about an hour after the game until a nice security lady asked me to leave. I then immediately remembered why taking BART to the games was torture because even hours after the game, the lines to get on the bridge was stupendously long and crowded.
    Personally, I love the Coliseum though in spite of its flaws... I really wish they made a few renovations and people would still be attending. Or even just cleaning up the massive amounts of trash everywhere; the smell of urine and rotten food permeated through the ballpark.
    It's embarrassing.
