A good news story.

 

"On Sunday, the 24-year-old became the first player in MLB history to record nine hits and two home runs in his first three games — and so far he has a .692/.733/1.154 line to his name."

Oakland Athletics fans boycott home opener outside stadium in protest of Las Vegas move

 

 

Many fans at the Oakland Coliseum were still hanging out in the parking lot when Alex Wood delivered the first pitch of the season for the Athletics against the Cleveland Guardians.

 

And they had no intention of going into the stadium.

 

In protest of the A’s planned move to Las Vegas in 2028, fan groups staged a boycott of the home opener Thursday, purchasing tickets to the game to organize a block party outside the stadium.

 

A half-hour before the game’s first pitch, hundreds of fans gathered in the far corner of the parking lot. They displayed “Sell” T-shirts and flags, threw beanbags at caricatures of team executives —including owner John Fisher and president Dave Kaval — and danced to live music while munching on dinner from food trucks.

 

“Everyone’s in such a good mood because we’re all here for the same thing,” said Edward Silva, a student at San Jose State and a lifelong A’s fan. “Everyone knows the score. So everyone’s on the same page, and just creating a wonderful atmosphere.”

Tropicana Las Vegas closed on Tuesday, just shy of its 67th. anniversary.

Demolition is slated for October to make room for a $1.5 billion Major League Baseball stadium.

The hotel, which opened on the iconic Las Vegas strip on April 4, 1957, was nicknamed the "Tiffany of the Strip" for its opulence.
