We showed up in rain, smoke and heat — and stayed through the 9th inning even when they were 3-15 and down by 10 runs.
How could they do this to us? And by “they,” I’m including a long list of guilty, betraying, ungrateful, emotionally abusive parties, starting with Messrs. Fisher and Kaval. What did we ever do to them besides giving them our money and cheering for their underfunded team?
It’s about the memories, of course, the good times when we were all better people. Carefree afternoons with cherished old friends, some now departed. Players who brought us so much joy — Rickey Henderson, Miguel Tejada, Dave Stewart. The low-key charm of the Coliseum — cheap tickets and garlic fries, feral cats and possums, the aroma of bacon-wrapped sausages grilling on the aerial walkway, the glorious sunshine and legroom on the third deck.
And it’s about hope. Of course, for A’s fans, it’s always about hope. Hope that they keep a favorite player. Hope they beat the Astros. Hope they fix the plumbing. Hope that some benevolent billionaire buys the team and invests it with the cash and love it deserves. Hope the worst-case scenario, the option they’ve been threatening for a decade, never comes to pass.
