The disdain he has shown for the team’s loyal, knowledgeable fans qualifies him for the Hall of Shame.
I fully understand Oakland A’s fans frustration with John Fisher. He is a contender for worst owner in MLB history.
During the summer of 1983, in what would be a 102-loss season, a friend and I bought tickets at the Kingdome for a 1 p.m. game and sat three rows directly behind home plate without any other fans within 20 yards of us. The home plate umpire even responded to me between innings when I politely asked if a pitch he called a ball had been high or outside.
Then there’s Harry Frazee, who turned the Boston Red Sox from World Series champions in 1916 and 1918 into one of the worst teams in baseball. Fisher’s net worth is estimated at $2.3 billion, which puts him in the middle of the pack on the list of MLB’s wealthy owners — the Giants’ Charles Johnson ranks fourth , while the Mets’ Steve Cohen tops the list.
But it isn’t Fisher’s decimation of the A’s roster that puts him in the Hall of Shame of baseball owners. It’s the utter disdain he has shown for the team’s loyal, knowledgeable fans.
