The Death of Oakland Baseball: A History of A's Ownership

The Death of Oakland Baseball: A History of A’s Ownership was created by myself with the intention of telling the real story of the A’s stadium and relocation saga and providing relevant context by telling the full story of the A’s ownership history. A’s fans and the City of Oakland receive far too much blame when this topic is being discussed, when in reality, everything that has happened is 100% on A’s ownership. I know this video is rather lengthy, and I am certainly not a professional writer, narrator, or video producer, but my hope is that this video can inform everyone of the true story, along with aiding in dispelling common misconceptions, correcting the narrative, and shining light on the dreadful ownership A’s fans and the City of Oakland have been subjected to and have had to endure.

This video is divided into 9 parts, and these parts are as follows:
•Part 1: A’s Ownership From 1901 to 1995 1:08
•Part 2: The Schott and Hofmann Years (1995-2005) 11:29
•Part 3: Lew Wolff and John Fisher (2005-2016) 23:36
•Part 4: Who is John Fisher? 38:26
•Part 5: John Fisher and Dave Kaval (2016-Present) 47:55
•Part 6: The Fight Back 2:11:35
•Part 7: Why This Happened 2:44:52
•Part 8: What Lies Ahead 2:59:01
•Part 9: Correcting the Narrative 3:06:20
