Ahead of the Bay Bridge Series starting on Tuesday, Oakland A's fans are asking Giants fans to join forces in their push to 'sell the team.' They will be handing out 'sell' shirts to both fans - in black and white.
Hoping to piggyback off that same momentum, the Oakland 68's have partnered with the Last Dive Bar group.
"It is the famous 1989 World Series poster where the A's player is on one side and the Giant's player is on the other and they're ripping the World Series pin it apart," Paul Bailey, co-founder of Last Dive Bar said. "Instead, in our version, we have the Giants player standing over Oracle and the A's player standing over the coliseum and they're shaking hands in unity.
"In the fifth inning, to stand up, be silent for the first set back, and then after 55 seconds, to represent all of the years in Oakland, start chanting "sell the team" and we're going to blow the place up, that's the plan, figuratively," he said.The Oakland 68's also have plans to hand out around 1,000 "sell" shirts to both A's and Giants fans, except this time, they'll be black and white.
