That’s Amaury News and Commentary

By Amaury Pi-González

OAKLAND–Since it looks like only an act of God can stop the A’s from moving to Sacramento for the next season for 3 to 4 years, I decided to start by reminiscing about the great moments in baseball, especially in A’s history, that have taken place and this old place today called simple The Oakland Coliseum, with no corporate name with 63,000 seats.

These are the Oakland A’s all-time leaders at the Oakland Coliseum.
