Tip of the cap to the Oakland A’s as they play their final game today.
As a now rare native San Franciscan I can honestly say that the A’s represent what the Bay Area once was.
Before transplants and tech moguls invaded it was a place grounded in manual, back breaking labor, a place where dock workers were revered for their hard work. There was no greed or get rich quick ideals. Physical exertion meant success.
The A’s were the were that ideal, it is fitting that as those ways disappear they do too.
