Through 11 games the A’s are averaging just 8,422 in paid attendance. The next worst are the Pirates at 12,256 through 12 games.
Unlike the narrative that followed the Expos, the issue with the A’s isn’t the market, but the abysmal leadership of owners and other top FO execs

It's continued to bug me why @saveSFbay and @SFBayDavid continue to oppose the A's proposed waterfront ballpark and housing development, when they vocally supported the almost identical Mission Rock project from the SF Giants.
So, I did some digging.
Follow along, won't you?

The A's once had Ricky, Canseco, Stew, Carney, McGwire, Eck and one of MLB highest payrolls and drew 3mil fans. If you invest in the team the fans will invest back. You want to abuse your fan base and treat them like trash than this is what you deserve

Sending your employees back to the office when gas, food, child care, pet care, etc are all through the roof - and not giving them a raise - after they spent 2 years doing the job just as well from home is a great way to tell your employees you don't care about them

Much being made of the 3748 attendance in Oakland last night.
This is what happens when you simultaneously hike the season ticket prices, remove all the benefits of being season ticket holders, blow up the team, crash the wages and continuously threaten to leave town.

Oakland A's management: "We're going to do everything possible to try to make the fan experience miserable, including raising ticket prices, not signing anyone, and possibly moving the team."
Oakland A's fans (including me) after five games: "Jeez, I love this scrappy team!"

Instead of a tweet thread about the unseriousness of some members of Congress in this serious time, I just decided to tell you on video:

The Oakland A’s had the highest payroll in baseball in 1991. It was $33M that year, the very same number it is today.

40 years RUNNING!
I hope the A’s do something to commemorate Rickey’s 1982 record-breaking 130 stolen base season.
2022 marks 40 years the record has stood unmatched. It’s feasible to say it may never be broken.
Celebrate A’s history! .#oaklandathletics #mlb

If you support what the @SFGiants are doing at Mission Rock but don't support what the @Athletics want to do at HT, you're a bloody hipocrit because their the SAME DAMN THING!
Looking at you right now, @SFBayDavid..... – at Oakland, CA
