So bittersweet

Did coward John Fisher bother to show up or did he spit in their faces one last time?

How can you not be romantic about baseball?

History moment. Hope everyone there could make lifelong memories today

I remember Cleveland made a big celebration about their last series in the old stadium, and sold out the 80K seats. Then proceeded to get swept. Glad Oakland got a win in this one.

Mason Miller is awesome

Any reason why this guy fell off the ROTY race? His numbers aren’t as insane as they were earlier in the season, but he still got to 100 Ks as a closer, which is notable. Not like the other contenders are blowing away the competition.

In 3 days, it is the 20th anniversary of Expos’ last home game.
PAIN. 😞

All the different crowd camera shots… man the emotions.
I’m so sorry Oakland.

Not an Oakland fan, never been to the Coliseum, but still teared up.

This can be a two team market. That’s the saddest thing.
They pretended only one team could survive here in the Bay Area when investment would have made it work

I thought for sure they’d rush the field.

At least it was win number 69!
Which is a 19 game improvement from last year, with 3 to go.

I had no vesting interest in this game but man, it certainly was emotional. I hate that it is happening but I’m glad it was Mason that got the last out.

I wonder- Other than John Smoltz in ’04-’05, has a closer ever closed out the final game of one season, and served as opening day starter of the next season?

It’s sad enough to have your team play one last game at an old stadium, but to know they’re never coming back hurts

I really, truly wish John Fisher the absolute worst in life

Trivial in the grand scheme of things, but I loved the Vandy flair of this game. JJ Bleday had two of the three RBIs for the A’s (plus a spectacular catch). Kumar Rocker (despite taking the loss), Jack Leiter, and Tyler Ferguson all pitched well (for Leiter the best outing of his career).
