My baseball heart is broken. I wanted Rickey but my first signature as a kid was Billy Martin. My dad was impressed. He was a Dodgers fan growing up in LA but he loved the game and played at Long Beach State. Yes, my dad was a Dirtbag 🤣. Love your studio decor today. I'm still gonna say THANK YOU Damon and your whole team! You are very much appreciated . ❤❤❤
I went to the last 3 games. Yesterday was tough, a lot harder than I thought it was going to be. Really makes you think about times in life where things are just not fair. There's millions of people not just in Oakland but A's fans all over the region who woke up this morning much sadder human beings. Yesterday was a funeral. Passing the Coliseum this morning on my way to work was just a harsh reminder that a rich guy like Fisher who was handed EVERYTHING can just rip our team out of our community while we work hard and have nothing to look forward to. It really sucks D.A. it's just a numb feeling. I really hope Rob Manfred understands what's happening here and even more so I hope somebody with the means to do so can fix this. Oakland needs a hero or a miracle. This is really going to hurt the love of the sport here if they don't find a way to fix this.
Thanks for bringing the news about the A’s / John Fisher situation to your platform. Dave Stewart’s video post with Brodie Brazil pretty much sums it up. The days leading up to the last game was like going to a wake. The day of the last day was the funeral. It was not bittersweet but somber. 😢 Stewart also mentioned he went to speak to Bruce Bochy at pregame and Bochy even said, ‘How did this happen?’ Your coverage really means a lot to me, The Oakland community, The A’s fans base. Thank you for bringing this important story to your audience!🙏
Mets fan here...my heart is shattered by this as a sports fan. Manferd, Selig and Fisher have plenty of blame and guilt on their gravestones. Oakland deserves better.
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. My Mom's first time to Shibe Park was 1936, her all time favorite A's player was Wally Moses. My parents also attended the Heidi Game. 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 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 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 kids to the Bar to watch the 20 wins in a row. 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. Now all of that has to come to an end because of one man. FJF
Amazing. Thank you for your words!! We are hurting out here. No person or city should EVER lose their team! I live in Sacramento, I cried this hard when we almost lost the Kings. I have no intention of watching the A's in Sac. All my life, 56 years, I've been an OAKLAND A's fan. Fisher killed this and MLB is complicit.
Thanks for the videos on this topic. These are the reasons that Baseball are losing fans and falling behind the other leagues. It’s an old school mentality, and not paying attention to the fans. As a life long A’s fan I know that we are all feeling gutted. Thanks again.
@damonamendo Mets fan like like you and I'm just shattered by this disgrace. Oakland deserves better. Also, you're absolutely right that other cities aren't spared from this fate. Thank you for your journalistic goodwill.
Thanks for this DA. Great show! Not a Bay Area guy, but an A's fan since 88. Also an Expos Fan, would love to see you do an editorial on how the Expos 2.0 (Athletics) got the same scam pulled on them!
To hear you say “this is not the end for you” is absolutely bitchin!!! You’ve covered this disgusting shit show better than our local guys, I love our local dudes but they’re tied to the team so just feel like you’re not getting the truth,the dirt! Please keep em coming DA me and family really do appreciate it. You’re the man bro
Its a done deal. Stop this baloney. Its baloney like this that gave you bad advice to boycott the team instead of putting pressure on the City and County and business leaders to STOP it from happening. But no -- blame the evil Billionaire. Its sexy.
@@heynowls3058 The evil Billionaire John Fisher has left. The other evil Billionaire the fans of Oakland wanted to own the team disappeared when it came to expansion. John Fisher destroyed the team. The City and County destroyed the stadium. Its the stadium that gave MLB owners the reason to vote to move. It wasn't the fans. It wasn't Fisher. It was horrible management of a facility they owned. Fisher is gone but the government who caused it is still there.
The favorite restaurant analogy is fantastic. One thing I would add is that when the restaurant made a an almost Michelin Star dish, they stopped making it and would bring on a new dish from scratch, over the years improve it year by year and when it becomes almost another Michelin star dish, they get rid of it again and this happens over and over and over again. It is tiring.
Oakland deserved a better owner but more than that, they deserved better Government leadership and better Media who spent the last 10 years kissing their asses. If you want to know why the A"s were allowed to move, just look at the state of the facilities in Oakland. That's not John Fisher's fault.
@@jamespaydoCompletely misleading. ONLY at the very end. The City owned 1/2 and did nothing. The County sold it with no restrictions to fix it up or build new or stay. Total mismanagement.

I feel awful for the fans in Oakland. They deserve so much better. I think you’re right DA- this thing ain’t over.

Thank you so much. Oakland feels seen, thanks to you. ESPN doesn’t see us. Keep seeking the truth! 🙏🏼 #ForeverOakland

John Fisher is this baseball generation's Jeffrey Lauria.
Damon you are an amazing hero of baseball and Oakland FOREVER- thank you for everything!!!
Thank you Damon!!

Thanks for doing this, guys.
Thank you DA!!
Aww man, wow! You got Domino on 👌
Thank you!!!
I think the A's will either permanently stay in Sacramento or go back to Oakland. Las Vegas is still not a done deal. This could backfire on MLB.
Its a done deal. Stop this baloney. Its baloney like this that gave you bad advice to boycott the team instead of putting pressure on the City and County and business leaders to STOP it from happening. But no -- blame the evil Billionaire. Its sexy.
This whole travesty is big mess. Stay tuned.
YES! Blame those greedy, selfish, deadbeat, hands out billionaires for their public corporate welfare. Please!

“How come you weren’t loyal to your baseball team?” Because the owner of our baseball team wasn’t loyal to us.

JOHN FISHER=RACHEL PHELPS!!!
LAS VEGAS ATHLETICS??? ARE YOU SERIOUS??? LET THE TAXPAYERS DECIDE!!!

He was 50% owner of the coliseum space. Of course he's at(or partially) fault for state of the coliseum.
