After homering for Yankees, he salutes the home fans at Oakland Coliseum
OAKLAND — Josh Donaldson has been back to the Coliseum many times since being traded after the 2014 season, but Tuesday night was the first time since it became clear that the team is leaving town for Las Vegas
There were 13,050 in attendance Tuesday night, well above the A’s average this season, but hardly great for a Yankees visit and almost 20,000 below the major league average. “The A’s mean something to me,” Donaldson said Tuesday night. “Coming up in the farm system and the organization there’s still some coaches over there that were a big part of my career. At the end of the day, that’s just the business side of baseball that isn’t always pretty.”
Tuesday night was his first game after three days on the bench and he was batting sixth in the order for the first time this season. His homer off Oakland starter Paul Blackburn accounted for the Yankees’ run in a 2-1 loss to the worst team in the majors.
