With everything this franchise & fanbase is dealing with (November, 2023), this will always be a beautiful moment in Oakland A's history.

[@Jodeanson.23]

An Oakland Athletics fan for 52 years. My heart is broken and I can't stop watching these highlights.

[@Dimdzxo]

Giants fan hear but also a A’s fan (I’m from the bay) definitely is disappointing watching how the Oakland A’s franchise is going to end

[@sanitary103]

@@DimdzxoI appreciate that coming from a Giants fan. It’s sad management was too cheap to keep better players around. Would have had a great chance at another bay bridge series.

[@mtrini510]

What we once had😢 being a lifelong A’s fan. My heart is shattered. Watching these clips make me tear up

[@darrennolan8523]

I keep playing all these Oakland classics and am crying right now. The amount of incredible memories I have with this team and at that stadium is countless.

[@manuginobilisbaldspot424]

RIP Ray Fosse. The voice of the A's for me since 1986. Cancer sucks, but I'll always have the Fosse Scream.

[@Trap-re1oj]

Was at this game with my son. One of my most cherished memories in 60 years of baseball fandom. Rewatching it as the A's play their last game in Oakland.

[@SimplyDeek]

Rest in peace Ray. Thanks for all the memories

[@johnjohn129]

Came here to hear you scream! RIP Fosse!!!!

[@drgti16v]

I was there!!!!!! R.I.P. Mr. Fosse

[@oscarmb95]

I was a Sophomore in high school during this season and I remember that just before the All-Star break we got hot, and kept rolling throughout the season, a Yankee sweep at home included, we snatched the division from the Rangers on G162 and were a few plays away from making a run at a World Series. I’ll never forget the magic during that season, from the walkoffs, to the sweeps, to the roaring Coliseum. Green and Gold till I’m Dead and Cold.

[@tannerschlenker2159]

We love you Ray and miss you.. from a life long Oakland A’s fan RIP💚💛

Same here! One of my favorite A’s teams of all time 😢

[@michaelshaffer3393]

[@Drforrester31]

Was at this game with my little brother, and it'll probably be my favorite in-person sports memory for the rest of my life. The crowd had been subdued for most of the game and soon as Reddick got the leadoff single the whole Coliseum was absolutely buzzing

[@AdamAmesOaklandAthletics]

Thanks for sharing your story! Hopefully the A's can put together a great run this postseason and bring home a trophy to Oakland.

[@deepaccc69]

That place (when full) is the loudest place on earth

[@ocosmicx953]

I was 16 and was so upset going into the bottom of the ninth. My dad grabbed my shoulder, looked me in the eye and told me “If Reddick gets on we win son.” After that single I turned to him all he did was smile. My favorite moment of all time and I’m happy it was with my dad.

[@thenab90]

I get tear up every time 💚💛

[@SJGala88]

I still come back to this video : the unexpected 2012 team, coco walk off with classic Ken and Ray (RIP) on the call, BoMel just acting like nbd, Bernie leannnnn. Let's Go Oakland! CGTCO!

[@jerkintrent123]

one of the greatest games i have seen next to clinching the al west game 162 in 2012

[@AdamAmesOaklandAthletics]

It must have been amazing to be there. Watching on TV is great, but it does not do the moment justice.

[@disneydanny2]

I agree. as nice as it would have been to end their season, I imagine it was somewhat nice to see them get swept by the Giants.

That 2nd half of the 2012 season was why baseball is great.

[@mookiestewart3776]

Same year 😂😂😂

[@troyhoffman6012]

This was such a memorable season, and this was the most memorable game. The A's were below .500 and 13 games behind first place on June 30th. They took off after that. A month left in the season, the A's were on a roll. I looked at the schedule, last series of the season is against the Texas Rangers. The Rangers, class of the division, first place and just coming off of two WS appearances. I thought to myself: "that could be and epic series". The A's continue to climb in the standings. With 9 days left in the season, the A's are 5 games back. When the Rangers finally arrived for the final series, the A's had climbed to 2 games back of the Rangers. I went to the first game, A's win: playoff spot clinched and one game back of the Rangers. I went to the second game, brought a ton of people, tailgated. The stadium was rocking, you can tell the momentum is in the A's favor. A's win again, tied for the division lead. Winner takes all for the final game of the season. I went to game 3. Hamilton literally drops the ball in center field which was a major blunder, allowing the A's to rally. Balfour comes out to shut down the Rangers season. Wow. Incredible. A's face the Tigers in the division series. Lose the first two in Detroit. Come home. Brett Anderson pitches a gem and coco makes an amazing play in CF robbing a HR. A's win. I went to game 4. We know our backs are against the wall. But the stadium was loud anyway. For most of the game the A's couldn't put anything together. It wasn't until the 9th inning came. Buzzed, I turn to my friend and say sarcastically "we got this". Then this above rally happened. Just. Wow. What a season. Best week of baseball I ever experienced in person.

[@AdamAmesOaklandAthletics]

That is an amazing story. Thank you for sharing. There is nothing quite like a packed and loud Coliseum during a comeback, let alone one so memorable. The fact that you witnessed it live is fantastic.

[@mattguz55]

Still angers me to this day we started this series on the road when we were the higher seed. Started the series down 0-2

[@manuginobilisbaldspot424]

@@mattguz55 Yeah, well we had the schedule in our favor the following year and didn't put them away in Game 4 when we had it. Up 3-0 and couldn't hold it. Seems like every year, our weaknesses get exploited in October.

[@mattguz55]

@@manuginobilisbaldspot424 also true. Can only look back and say what if. Bummer.

[@JMACishere]

This season was so special and I feel blessed to have been apart of it, doesn’t even matter that we didn’t win it all but we were a team of destiny

[@ocosmicx953]

I’ll never forget being at this game with my dad. We didn’t always get along but god damn it when CoCo hit that ball nothing else mattered. I love you dad.

[@kevincrosbie6812]

I was at game 3 right before that when Coco robbed Fielder of the home run. The crowd went nuts and they won 2-0 but this game 4 walk off takes the cake! Wish I was there to see that as well! Imagine if they didn’t have the tarps up! The 2012 A’s season was one of my favorites to follow with them having the 15 walk off wins and the A’s taking the AL west on game 162 against the Rangers. Such a fun team to watch!

[@AdamAmesOaklandAthletics]

I have been living away from the Bay Area since 1994, so I was not able to see any of these games live, which makes me sad when I think about it. Before 2015, the last game I saw at the Coliseum was in 2003 when Maddux and Hudson pitched against each other. That was the Jermaine Dye walkoff in the 12th.

[@manuginobilisbaldspot424]

I was at Game 3 too! Got a foul ball that I gave to kid and was on the TBS broadcast. My buddy and I thought I about staying (we're from Fresno) but we decided to head back. I still regret that. 2012 team still my all time favorite (been watching the A's since 1986).

[@DATBOYX24]

Exit velocity might prove me wrong, but seeing Donaldson’s double live - it was the hardest ball I’ve ever seen hit. Missile.

[@16amart]

This game was by far the best game I'd ever seen in person

I was there for game 162 that year vs Rangers. I thought that was the most exciting game I had gone to in my life.....this one put it to shame. Also fuck Verlander.

[@RevitUp81]

Donaldson, Reddick, Coco, plus many more good players. Oh what a season! I was at this game and let me tell you it was one of the best games I’ve attended! Imagine if the A’s would have kept this team assembled. When they traded Céspesdes, everything else went down hill. But that’s what happens when you have the best farm in the country.

[@jpete3027666]

Lifelong A's fan since I was a kid in the 80's. Lots of great memories at the Coliseum. It's a damn shame they're moving to Vegas. The ownership of the A's is squarely to blame here. They've blamed the city and the fans for the organization's decline over the last several years but it's been a steady degradation of this organization by cheap, billionaire owners that has resulted in where they're at now. But this A's organization isn't what I remember, so Vegas can have em. With great ownership they would have already had their downtown ballpark (privately funded) and still be successful in Oakland. The A's have drawn close to 3 million fans and over 2 million many many times in their history even after Beane and cheap ownership traded established starts years before they hit free agency; it's isn't the fault of the fans that is for sure.

[@SidelineCasual]

It sprinkled that night between innings. After that I just fucking knew. The crowd was one that night, it was fucking beautiful, section 232. Lets go Oakland!!
