46,889 diehards in the stands to double-check they soaked it all in.
Manager Mark Kotsay addressed the crowd when it was all over and spoke beautifully.
Getting dusty in here?
I don’t know what it’s like to have your favorite team taken away from you like this.
I can’t imagine how hard it is for the true diehards to realize it’s over.
To have a spineless coward like John Fisher rob you of your joy.
We lean on sports as an escape from the bullshit that we deal with on a daily basis.
To have that ripped away from you like this has to be so fucking infuriating.
I’d commit murder if the Yankees were taken from me.
Jeff Passan decided to commit murder himself as the final out was recorded.
“History will sneer” is such a good line my god.
Straight out of Major League.
It’s so bad that the President of the United States should have stepped in and done something.
A’s fans are real.
They want to show up and go nuts.
That’s how it should be.
That was Fisher’s evil plan and it worked just the way he wanted.
John Fisher should not be allowed to own a sports team.
Everything about him is wrong.
A born on 3rd base loser who has no interest in scoring.
He cares about himself and that’s it.
I hope he fails in Vegas so badly.
He deserves everything bad coming his way.
We’ll see if karma is real.
We’ll close it out with Dallas' montage.
I love that Fisher told his players to leave the field immediately and not longer once the game ended.
They did the exact opposite.
Kotsay and his men hung around to sign autographs for a while and soak it all in.
Almost a silent middle finger to everything Fisher has done.
If you’re going to be a super villain at least lean into it fully.
