As a kid I grew up an As fan, it was the Bash Brothers era. I loved that team. I remember crying when Canseco was traded to Texas.

I stayed a fan, but its been tough. Early 2000s was hopeful, but I have given up now. Don’t follow them at all.

I really can’t believe MLB is letting this happen to a franchise like the As. They are fairly storied franchise for the West Coast. All to play ball in 130F day in July indoors.
