Reverse Boycott-ish. Spending the day with the A's or B's or both?
Some called it another "reverse boycott" but really it was an excuse to get together and watch Oakland Athletics baseball without feeling guilty about it. Some people came as far as Canada to join in on the fun.
It started at Line 51 in Oakland, then hit the Oakland Coliseum parking lot. Some chose to go inside the Coliseum, others chose to head to Raimondi Park to see the Oakland Ballers.
I chose to do all of the above! Here's a recap of some of my coverage from that day.

SABOTAGE? A Message for Las Vegas A's Fans
Переглядів 9 тис.3 місяці тому
The Oakland Athletics bumpy, winding, desert road to Las Vegas has been filled with crater-sized potholes. The latest obstacle seems to have raised some awareness as to how the A's ownership group has been operating all along. It started with a discovery by Jeremy Koo, who reached out to the Nevada Independent, who reached out to the power players in the Stadium Authority. thenevadaindependent....

A's Artificial Sacramento "Upgrade"

The Oakland Athletics will be moving to Sacramento next season. Their temporary home at Sutter Health Park will need some upgrades to make it Major League Baseball ready.

Big news! Oakland set to SELL their half of Coliseum
Переглядів 4,8 тис.3 місяці тому
I'm hearing the City of Oakland has agreed to sell their half of the Coliseum property to AASEG for $105M (potentially more with development deal). This will be a huge boost to Oakland’s future budget, which helps keep fire stations open, police funded and City jobs intact. There will be a 3pm presser later today with Oakland Mayor Sheng Thao and AASEG. The A’s just completed their final paymen...
A's Pay Up! Final Payment Made For County's Half of Oakland Coliseum

The Oakland Athletics days may be numbers at the Coliseum, but they just completed their final payment for their half of the property. Back in 2019, the A's agreed to pay Alameda County $85M for their half of the Coliseum. That amount was due within 180 days of announcing relocation. After the County smartly called their bluff, the A's full lump sum payment of $26.5M was due on May 14. I have b...

Schools over Stadiums was rejected by the Nevada Supreme Court. They won't be able to start collecting signatures to get a referendum on the 2024 ballot to overturn SB1, which gives $380M to the A's stadium effort in Las Vegas.

BLOCK PARTY! Full recap / What's next?
It is a con.
Would love to see the team take over the soccer field behind the first base side. Build a clubhouse, more concession area, restrooms and more parking. Also paint some murals on the warehouses behind 3rd base. Also add more signage to the black cloth around the park.
I'm STILL kicking myself for not going to this. Goddamn boss
Stay in Sacramento. We don’t need anymore of Oaklands trash sports teams
The people of Las Vegas don’t want the As. The Politicians want the A’s, worst team in MLB from an organizational standpoint.
I’m done with baseball now. Suck a bat Fisher
WaaaHHHHH... GET OVER IT !! VIVA Las Vegas A's Casey you need to spend more time worrying about saving your New Bosses Job as Mayor of Oakland..
Kaval still isn't being transparent.
This video is crazy condescending. The Vegas market doesn't want the A's - 99% of people I've spoken to have no interest and understand it's a scam. It's no big surprise that they're doing shady shit, people in Vegas have been awake to this being a bad deal from the beginning.
We want the new park on the strip, obviously.
See you on Opening Day 2028!
MAFIA IN THE HOUSE
I live in Vegas and this makes zero sense where are they going to get these fans from ? Other then Vegas. So they want to play 10% of home games where ? If they want fans discount 10% or more of home games for locals
380 Million in public funds. WTF!!!!! FUCKING hate this city when it comes to city planning (Or lack of it) Fuck! Stop bleeding the fuck of the locals! (Born here, and will be pushed out because of fucking Californians' moving here). Place fucking sucks now.
I am a MLB fan and wonder where these Vegas A's fans are. I have see NONE!
My last name is not Raimondi, but many of my family members do. Billy Raimondi and Ernie Raimondi are my family.
Seattle feels your pain. Some Cali dbag tried to hijack the Seahawks too.
Nobody in Vegas wants them here the politicians went against what we wanted and gave them money that should have gone to education
Baseball played indoors is sacrilege
Casey, thanks for your work over the years. Best wishes for the new career with the City!
When I started following baseball in 1989 the Oakland Coliseum was a considered a premier baseball facility being at least the equivalent of a Dodger Stadium. A renovated Oakland Coliseum would be considered Fenway Park in 2060... that is if this actually happens and they rip out Mt Davis.
After everything that has happened…. Tropicana demolished, agreement with Sac , the renderings being provided by an architect… people are still whining and crying. Plain and simple Oakland and only Oakland is responsible for all the pro teams leaving
Hey, where'd you go? Both your linked IG & TW accounts from here show as gone. Missed your content on the A's.
Casey is now working for Sheng Thao. He's going to be the new Chief of Communications for the Mayor's office. Kind of a risky move considering how much hot water she's in right now, but hey, it's not everyday you get to work for a mayor. This is big time. I'm guessing this probably means no more UA-cam videos and probably no more ABC-7 for Casey? Hopefully he does a farewell video or explains his new role
@@86byrdmannot big time
Disappointing that you’re joining a sinking ship. What’s your reasoning?
Noone cares aboot the las vegas "A" holes.
It going to do none of those things. The City still has to retire the debt for Mount Davis which they are still paying off. The sale will let them retire most of the debt that is still owned. It will do nothing for city services. If you report on something at least get your facts right.
Ballpark a lot more character and personality than 60 years of the Coliseum.
YOSHI FLIPS NOW
118 degrees? are you joking. It rarely gets above 110 and mostly is in the 90s to low 100s. This isn't death valley. Newsflash, the A's used to be the triple A team here for years, and the Giant's triple A has been here a few years. Nobody is complaining. It is a great field for baseball and great weather for baseball too. The bonus is the fans won't be robbed blind while in the ball park and their cars will be intact when the game is over, unlike in Oakland.
Vegas wants its own expansion team not the worst managed team in baseball.
The A''s have a great history and usually have had great players in every decade that I've been alive(almost 5). Oakland fans would support the team if they had reasonable chances of winning. This is common in a lot of markets, St.Louis, Kansas City, Pittsburg, and Vegas. 5 or 7 years of a team that doesn't win shit and trades their best players, it won't matter how nice the stadium is. There's plenty of shit to do in LV other than go see a team lose.
The fact that 99% of the national sports media supports the MLB rule changes is proof that Major League Baseball is nowhere close to being a legitimate sports league.
In other words THANKS MANFRED
There are several examples of teams sharing a ballpark. The older ones are in Philadelphia (A's and Phillies) and St. Louis (Cardinals and Browns) but that ended 70 years ago. A more recent example was 50 years ago when the Mets and Yankees shared the natural grass field of Shea Stadium for two seasons while Yankee Stadium was being reconstructed. The science of playing fields has improved exponentially since then. There is no doubt that a well engineered and carefully maintained natural grass field could be used.
The reason he probably go sac is the television deals and that theirs a fan base their while Vegas is mostly a dodgers town and they probably wouldn’t care being that Vegas is a transient town and people come and go mostly for the casinos. It’s also a summer game and Vegas is hot in the summer. The best move is the A’s in sac and build or remodel sutter field.

Go mayor
She's worse than Tiff Tiff
This is a girl’s team?
That guy took a Randy Johnson fastball to the eye.
The sport don't want to deal with oakland mayor because you or dirty lie
Lock this corrupted Mayor now.
Up yours honey!
Oakland is a SH*T hole that nobody can save. Sheng came in with odds against her...I know she tried.
She’s what happens when you allow government to degenerate to student council level bull ish.
Oakland fans had a chance to support the A’s for decades and didn’t! Yes, they have a small number of loyal fans, but that’s it. No one wants to go to Oakland to see a game….
That stadium smelled like sewage for the last 2 seasons. The place has been a dump for decades.
The stadium in Las Vegas is almost ready for construction..

She lost the A’s and now she will loose her freedom. November can’t get here fast enough!!!!!!!!🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉😂😂😂😂😂😂
