Fans weren't happy with some of the details of the Athletics' promotion for the team's final game at the Oakland Coliseum.
The end of the Oakland A's time at the Oakland Coliseum is quickly approaching, with the team set to begin its final home series on Tuesday and play its final game at the stadium on Thursday.The Athletics intend to give out miniature replicas of the Coliseum to fans in attendance for Thursday's game, however, the model stadiums won't be redeemable until fans leave the game and the promotion won't be available until after the seventh inning.
The whole promotion didn't sit well with MLB fans, many of whom weren't satisfied with the appearance of the replica stadium, and others who weren't pleased with the way the promotion was being run. They sounded off on social media, raising their concerns on X and Reddit.But you can rest assured on 9/26 that you don’t need to stress about getting the stadium replica. Enjoy every single moment “IN YOUR SEAT TIL THE LAST PITCH”.This is the biggest joke in baseball.
First pitch for Thursday's game against the Texas Rangers is at 12:37 p.m. PT, which figures to be the A's last hurrah at their stomping grounds.Karl Rasmussen is a staff writer for the Breaking and Trending News team for Sports Illustrated.
