Logan Webb of the San Francisco Giants reflects on the nostalgic atmosphere expected during their series against the Athletics, who have left Oakland for Sacramento. This series marks the A's first return to the Bay Area after their controversial relocation, with their uniforms now lacking an official city designation. Giants manager Bob Melvin anticipates a familiar atmosphere despite the changes, while the A's plan to stay in Sacramento until a permanent move to Las Vegas is completed around 2027. Sellout crowds are expected for the games, celebrating the long-standing rivalry.
You're always going to hear 'Let's Go Oakland' chants, said the Giants ace, a Rocklin native who grew up an A's fan. I think that's kind of the way it's going to be for a while.
I think that'll be the one thing that'll probably stand out pretty quickly. But I expect it to be the same atmosphere here that it's always been against them.
The A's plan to remain at the 14,000-seat park, the home of the Giants' Triple-A River Cats, at least until the end of the 2027 season.
After leaving Oakland, the A's made the decision to just call themselves the Athletics, with no official city affiliation, while they remain in California's capital.
