Former MLB owner claims 'despicable' San Francisco Giants are the reason the A's left Oakland

The team formerly known as the Oakland Athletics are just two years away from officially moving to Las Vegas.

For years, the Athletics and the city of Oakland tried to work out a deal on a new stadium, with several different locations tossed around. They even came close at one point, with a mega-waterfront site deal nearing fruition.
