OAKLAND -- The largest crowd of the season packed the Oakland Coliseum Tuesday evening as A's fans turned out to send a strong message to the team's front office and Major League Baseball. The goal of the reverse boycott was to show the fans' love for the team and reject the team's argument for leaving town.
Fans filled the stands to show that the fans are passionate as ever about their team and the A's belong in Oakland. What would normally be a poorly-attended Tuesday night game was a massive sea of fans decked out in green and yellow. "He's not really for the team, he's all about himself, and wanting to get out there to Las Vegas. So we want our team here and we want someone that is down for us," said Mia Porter of Milpitas.
"It's a testament to how many generations have been A's fans. Children born into it, we have no choice, this is our team. It's like having a family member," said Elisa Henderson of Riverside."Nostalgia, joy, sadness at the possible, probable departure," he said.
