The Oakland A’s will host the Cleveland Guardians at the Coliseum on Thursday evening, officially kicking off what could be a fascinating season.
Fascinating off the field, at least.
Their planned move to Las Vegas is full of potential pitfalls. They have a fanbase that’s revolting, a ballpark that’s crumbling and no home stadium to play in for at least three seasons, if not more, until the proposed ballpark in Vegas can open.
This won’t be any ordinary season at the Coliseum.
