Oakland Athletics [View all]

I am currently watching, throught MLB Extra Innings, the Aug. 2 game of Toronto Blue Jays @ Oakland Athletics.

A's are doing really well this year.

I find it sad that there doesn't appear to be a good attendance from Oakland-area residents. It's a good season for the A's, and I'd think the team would get better ticket sales. But I know Oakland isn't what it used to be. 40 years they won the first of three consecutive World Series, and the first in California, and they haven't represented the AL in the Fall Classic since 1990.

Should we bet on Athletics moving out of Oakland and relocating elsewhere?
