Eulogy in Oakland: How Does a Broadcaster Say Goodbye to a City?

[@marksnyder7050]

Cool throwback moment during the expos game highlight. the mention of Matt Trainor playing Catcher in that game. It was way before your time Jesse but he was the original Lugnuts catcher on their first team.

Oh yes! (And then went on to marry an Olympic legend.)

Washington almost got the Padres in 1974 to the point where TOPPS actually printed baseball cards of Padre players which said Washington NL.

The classic 'Washington "NAT'L LEA." ' cards!

Very powerful episode guys! I was too young to remember the A's leaving KC, but my family talked about it. My first game was the Royals vs the Senators in the old KC Municipal Stadium, with my dad and uncle. Being in Lansing, we don't have the same connection to the stadium in Oakland, but certainly to the many former Lugnut players on the team. Good job gentlemen!
