It’s gone horribly. But a hotter summer would have made it worse.
Let’s goooo r/oaklandballers
“Meanwhile, back in Oakland, the independent and locally owned Oakland Ballers had the greatest regular season in Pioneer League history, then came back from down 0-2 in the championship series to win all three games at home and take home the league title in front of a sold-out crowd of Oaklanders. Even the fire department got involved in the celebration.
How’s that for cosmic karma: All it took for Oakland to win a baseball title was John Fisher leaving town.”

They belong in Oakland.
Hahaha. It totally could have, can and will.
I stopped watching baseball when they left.
I went to a conference a few months ago down the street from their “stadium” and I thought about buying a ticket while I was in town. I was so close and It was about 20 bucks for amazing seats.
Then I remembered how the team I had been watching for 40 years was yanked away from me.
So I watched reruns of The Office in my hotel room. Much better use of my time
Joseph Ferraro, we speak your name.
No one could have seen this coming except for everybody.
JF is an embarrassment to the league and Manfred is a feckless dip shit enabling it
In all honesty, could it even have gone better? Fisher and the organization put no money into the roster nor the “stadium”, they alienated their fanbase, and made no effort to build a new fanbase in Sacramento. This was the only outcome.
FJF.
Everything John Fisher touches dies a little inside.
