Strange for sure. I'm writing something of a goodbye for my next post next week. An adopted A's fan, I came to them as an adult in my 20s, tailgating with friends at the peak of my fandom, before kids and life knocked professional sports down a peg. It wasn't until I wrote Lose Yourself (my novel that takes place at a fictional A's game) that I rekindled the memories of the Coliseum and what it was like to take in a game.
They A's will always be Oakland even though I will now live 7 miles away from their new temporary home.
