“People are acting like I parted the Red Sea,” he said. “We just needed a day. People wanted this.”
Even before the reverse boycott began, Clary began to confront the scary part. When the party’s over, things get real.
And while Fisher might see the A’s relocation as a vehicle for his personal gain, fans see it as kidnapping the community they’ve hardly lived without. This protest isn’t just about calling out lies or changing minds. It’s one last cry from a fan base coming to grips with having a part of them unceremoniously ripped away.
But the tone isn’t sad yet, the crew has already pre-mourned the loss. The constant threat of relocation, failed ballpark proposals and decades of cheap ownership hardened them. And maybe a little denial, too. The Coliseum is known as a sewage-filled, run-down dump. For fans, that’s all overblown; it’s a home away from home.For the Clary family’s two sons, Gordy and Tom, it was like a backyard miles away from home in Vacaville. They played catch in the parking lot before games. The boys idolized Jason Giambi and once talked for weeks about the time the hours spent waiting in line in the rain to meet him paid off with a fist pump.
