Let's Go Oakland. After an emotional goodbye to the home fans on Thursday at the Oakland Coliseum, the A's brought a sizable contingent of supporters north to Seattle for the team's final series with Oakland in cursive script written across their chest.
Shortstop Nick Allen, who broke up Seattle starter Logan Gilbert's perfect game bid with a two-out single in the sixth inning, appreciated the magnitude of the moment in the clubhouse after the game.
I mean, the emotion of Thursday will never be matched. But today, knowing that last game with the Oakland jersey, and the Let's Go Oakland chants in the ninth inning, as loud as they were in a visiting stadium, was pretty impressive.
For the players, the chance to play one final game as Oakland was a special opportunity, and the jerseys they wore on Sunday will be ones they treasure forever.
