On the Oakland A’s podcast with Michael Wagaman:

It’s a very sad day here at the Oakland Coliseum especially for the fans. For me I spent a large chunk of my youth coming here when I moved away to the Central Valley friends convinced me to come to a game and I saw Nolan Ryan throw a no hitter here at the Coliseum.

Rickey Henderson became the all time stolen base leader and there were so many moments. Here’s a fan and again as a sports writer. This place is beautiful and one known fact and this is almost universal for the last 20-30 years.

It is widely recognized around Major League Baseball that the Oakland Coliseum has the reputation of playing the best game day music in the country and that’s legendary from both sides. I’ve spoken to Dusty Baker he loves the vibes.
