The sadness is very real in Oakland today as the last professional sports team departs the city. Oakland has been dealing with a lot in recent years and it has been unable to hold onto the Warriors, Raiders, and now the A’s. After 57 years the Oakland Coliseum will be without a professional baseball team. Fans are angry that the team’s owner didn’t fight harder to keep the A’s in Oakland. Coliseum workers are losing their jobs. History including Catfish Hunter’s 1968 perfect game, the Bash Brothers, and the base stealing of Ricky Henderson fade away. Next year the A’s will play in Sacramento while waiting for a new stadium to be built in Las Vega
