What's up with the East Bay letting the A's leave town? [View all]

You mean to tell me that nobody in Oakland, Berkeley and their wealthy Hills neighborhoods; nor Emeryville, Piedmont, Richmond and towns furhter up the coast. There's Stockton. There's also the suburban communities east of Oakland like Orinda, Dublin, Pleasanton and others even further east.

What? Nobody could get up a group to muster up enough money to replace the ancient Oakland Alameda County Coliseum? It's old all right. I myself once watched Reggie Jackson, Sal Bando, Joe Rudi, Campy Campanerie, Rollie Ringers and the rest win three straight chaampionships there. I lived in North Oakland and Berkeley then.

Hard to believe the town let the A's follow the Raiders and Warriors out of town.

The team, the fans and the East Bay deserved better.
