The A’s are heading to Seattle for the season’s final series, leaving behind tens of thousands of fans that packed stands Thursday for the final home game at the Oakland Coliseum. Following the game, diehard Oakland A’s fans said goodbye at a wake hosted by the fan group Last Dive Bar.It wasn’t your typical time of sorrow, but it offered fans the chance to gather one last time for a memorial service.
Ken Collins, an Oakland native who grew up watching the A’s, said he flew in from the East Coast to experience the final homestand.He recalled the moment he entered the Coliseum again. "There was something about driving down 880 and seeing the stadium rise up sort of out of the ground and the majesty that is that sent chills down my spine and just instantly brought me back to being a 7-year-old boy all over again," he said.
