“It was just a disgraceful exhibition of lunacy that was overseen by MLB & A’s ownership.” -@JohnSheaHey

If you were putting something in a helmet in 2025, you weren’t doing it right!

The minute we seen that PBL Championship Cup hit the helmet, we knew what had to be done! 🏆🪖

Henny was flowing after game 5! The Ballers popped bottles like only the Town could!

Saw this pic and knew we had to immortalize the moment!

The 26th might have been the final game at the Coliseum, but the 29th last year was the final time they played as the Oakland A’s.

It was a beautifully painful series as we said goodbye to our fandom. We will always be “Oakland” A’s fans but sadly we’ll never be fans of this team again.

Looks like Sac ain’t fooled by the disingenuous jersey reveal on the final game.

Often imitated but will never be duplicated.

Ya’ll are such a cheap imitation of something you’ll never be able to recapture.

You’re an abomination of a “once” historic franchise.

9-26-24 Continued…

One thing we noticed right away was that the A’s were dead set on not honoring the history at the Coliseum, recognizing the fans, or providing any kind of farewell merch.

So we did it ourselves.

You can still visit LastDiveBar.com and re-live those memories.

9-26-24…a day that will live in the hearts & minds of Oakland A’s fans forever.

Too often in 2024 we turned to the opposing broadcast for commentary on the final season. Over on our IG we posted all the clips from that final game.

Lmfaooooo…of all the fans this foul ball hits, it’s a dude in a “I’d Rather Be At The Oakland Coliseum” tee.

Even the baseball gods don’t respect the A’s anti-LDB tee edict as mentioned in the ESPN article.

The Astros Radio Broadcast Twitter account understands the assignment.

And we hope by game’s end, they’re rich!

Long Live The OAKLAND A’s!!!!

Technical difficulties in the “most intimate ballpark in all of MLB.”

You’d think with what the AAA’s are charging Sacramento fans, they have a working scoreboard.

But don’t worry, fan appreciation weekend gonna be lit. 🥴

I’m so excited to finally share this: I’m writing a book! It’s about Oakland—its rise as a great American sports town, its fall to the billionaires who abandoned it, and, most of all, the fans and activists and founders who fought to hold onto this aspect of the city’s identity and soul.

Love this vlog from @vvarietyshow! Pure energy, excitement, and happiness from start to finish.

This ending though, 🎯

Look no further than the SJ Earthquakes. Heart of Silicon Valley, new stadium, and within 9 years John Fisher said he needed a newer stadium but not after tanking payroll to league lows, attendance decimated, and fans pissed.
