Dave has been an Oakland Athletics fan since he was little...because Grand Rapids, Michigan had a minor league baseball team (West Michigan Whitecaps) associated with Oakland from 1994-1996. Dave also played for the Grand Rapids A's during the summers while he was in High School.
The game was a sellout because it was the 50th Anniversary Game for the Oakland Athletics! The crowds were massive and what was really awesome...is that the tickets were free and you could sit wherever you wanted! First come, first serve. And nobody got into fights over seats. It was great...not to mention that Oakland beat the Chicago White Sox.
I went by myself, but that gave me the freedom to walk around the stadium where ever I wanted. I even grabbed some seats behind home plate to catch the final out of the game...what a great night!
Oakland is one of baseball's worst stadiums.
