Sacramento has historically been viewed as a way station for travelers, from Gold Rush miners to modern sports. The city's new role as a temporary host for the Oakland Athletics, who sought refuge before moving to Las Vegas, exemplifies this narrative. Although the team is not adopting the city's name and is simply known as the Athletics, many residents embrace this underdog status. With a blend of pride and patience, residents reflect on their city's lesser-known identity amidst talks of sports and history.
Sacramento has often been a way station rather than a destination, from its Gold Rush days to being a temporary home for the Athletics.
The Athletics' move highlights Sacramento's ongoing journey as a city, shaping its identity while not fully embracing the team as its own.
