A raucous sellout crowd of 46,889 said goodbye to the Oakland A’s on Thursday during an emotional afternoon at the Oakland Coliseum that saw the home side beat the Texas Rangers 3-2.
The tears started flowing quickly, as former A’s great Barry Zito stopped by to sing the national anthem.
The Athletics will finish their 57-year tenure in Oakland with three games in Seattle over the weekend. Next year, the club will move to Sacramento for at least three seasons ahead of a permanent relocation to Las Vegas.
