My Final Game As An Oakland A’s Fan

[@gamer_athletics]

I just wanted to take a moment to say a huge thank you to everyone who watched and supported my videos. Your encouragement & comments meant the world to me. It’s been an incredible journey capturing and sharing these memories, and I couldn’t do it without your support. I’ve wanted to stop half way because I felt burnt out like I’ve never felt before. For those who are new here. I usually take a huge break after baseball season is over. I won’t stop making KZbin videos as I have the Oakland Roots and Oakland Ballers to cover next year. As for MLB I don’t have any plans to go to Sacramento or Las Vegas. I’m no longer a MLB fan. I am a fan of the game of baseball. If the A’s comeback to Oakland or a new team comes to Oakland I’ll once again become a fan. Oakland Forever

[@Playre10]

Fisher is a horrible owner, I feel so bad for you. OAKLAND FOREVER!

[@justindinger6173]

Baseball forever! John Fisher for never.

[@mikecanul]

You’re the best. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again - so glad I got the chance to meet you in 2023 at the coliseum. You’re a class act. Thank you for everything

[@HierophantMica]

can't wait to see you at more ballers games! thanks for all the vids & love

[@bms9144]

Best of luck going forward Gabe.

[@RobertJohnson-bj5lk]

6:01 - R.I.P. Seattle SuperSonics. It’s a beautiful thing to see and hear how many people around America side with faithful Oakland fans, mostly because they understand your plight. Stay strong East Bay.

[@JoshBruin77]

MLB fans of all kinds and all teams are behind you and the A's fans Gabe! 🙏

[@theblackhood4812]

Much love to you Gabe, the LDB crew, Jennie/Jenny/Jenni and all of the diehards that made the trip up to Seattle for the final chapter, and any other fan who contributed to making this last season so special! All the dedication, love, sincerity that you expressed in each video and social media post well never be forgotten. As a lifelong A’s fan who took a three year hiatus foreseeing their departure before it was official, I owe it all to you and the others who persistently continued to come and began exposing the bullshit in restoring my love and appreciation for the franchise that was a part of me for most of my life. After seeing your video of the final game in Oakland, I regretted not approaching you the simply say thank you and shake your hand. me being someone who has been in the spotlight I’ve never liked being notice for what I believe is just me simply living my life. However, I forgot just how much acts of kindness and in this case, my gratitude to you should have been physically expressed. Like you, I don’t see much of a future being a fan of major league baseball, but seeing your other veg, the wrestling merch excites me at the thought, but I could ever run into you at a show. Major league baseball and professional wrestling have always been my two biggest fandoms in life, and I’m glad that I’m able to share that with you and many others. I hope our paths cross again someday, Gabe. I’ll not only give you a handshake but also a hug. You are a great person, dedicated advocate, and have been a conduit of passion or so many Oakland A’s fans. Whatever you have next, I am happy and excited to follow you there. All the Best and God Bless, Ryan B.

[@nelsondoeslife8305]

I stand with you. As a lifelong A's fan, my relationship with the team has ended. The way John Fisher and the MLB treated fans, turned me off entirely to the game I grew up playing and loved to watch. Stay strong man. There is life after baseball.

[@Inub0i]

The pain in your voice at the end just did me in... I may be a fan of the team just across the bridge, but you never ever wanna see a team get relocated. The finality of it all is just sad. No more Bay Bridge Series, and BART rides past the Coliseum just feel bad. My condolences, my dude. Fuck Fisher.

[@gamer_athletics]

From across the bay, Thank you.

[@MessOfThings]

Gabe, thank you for going all the way. You may never know who you've touched that couldn't come in person. I hope to see more videos coming with your new passions and adventures, whatever they may be. You've been kicked out of your comfort zone, now LIFE begins. Live it.

[@P31B]

@3:36 why I’ve been saying the Oakland A’s don’t lack fans. Before the team totally broke up with us, there was no reason for a casual fan to go to a game. MLB is in the entertainment business. Baseball is only part of it. The other part is the surrounding atmosphere and activities both within and outside the ballpark. A’s had the bare minimum, baseball. And the more of us that remembered the glory days from legendary teams that moved on, the less fans the team had because they wouldn’t graduate fans from the casual fan to real actual fans who cared about the team

[@MoeyViews]

Gabe watching ur journey made it so inspiring to see how much you love ur Oakland A’s!!! Much respect 🫡

[@redandbluebulldog1508]

Really enjoy your channel and your journey this year. Your love and pain are both palpable. I hope you just go all in on the Ballers and Roots like you said. Let the A’s go to Sacramento. Don’t follow them over there. Like an ex that moves away. Just let them go. Oakland needs you. You are such a positive ambassador for that city when it needs positivity more than anything else right now. The Ballers and Roots should honor you in the near future for the worldwide attention you will bring to those clubs. Much love my heartbroken buddy. This too shall pass.

[@daveyt2686]

coming from an angels fan, this sucks this tears my heart out I liked Oakland you guys always gave the angels a hard time it's gonna suck. Im a Raider fan and when they left Oakland it was hard for me cause thats where the Raiders were born, same thing with the Athletics, you guys were born in Oakland. I blame the owner, I blame the city. Good luck in Vegas I hope you and other fans will continue to support them

[@GLOWSTER323]

I hate to have to correct you but unlike the Oakland Raiders, The Oakland Athletics we’re actually born in Philadelphia. The franchise began and played as the Philadelphia Athletics from 1901-1954 they then moved to Kansas where they played as the Kansas City Athletics from 1955-1967 when they once again relocated to Oakland to become the Oakland A’s. From now 1968-2024.

[@jesusfirst3426]

During the game, I heard you guys yell “Let’s Go Oakland!” I love that. Oakland Forever.

[@chiefkeef6269]

I came across you and I’ve been watching this season, I have zero connection to the A’s and without you I probably would’ve believed everything Fisher said. I’m so sorry, and I hope you know your efforts weren’t in vain. People like me would’ve never known the true story. I’ll never forget the Oakland A’s and what you all went through. Sending love from NY

[@gamer_athletics]

I am glad that I was able to share with you the truth of what has truly went on here in Oakland.

[@edwardwalter3100]

Thanks for everything you did for those of us who couldn't be there every game this season. I watched this season largely through your videos man and the way you've worn your emotions throughout has been amazing. Your feelings are OUR feelings Gabe and I cried so many damn times this season while watching your stuff. I can't thank you enough. The couple of times I got to meet you at the the Coliseum, you were always so kind and gracious. I hope you lock Nat down soon dude, she's a keeper. Thanks Gabe, you are a real one dude. MLB has lost this fan too.

[@gamer_athletics]

I tried my best to represent the fans to the world who callus out. Thanks to my friends we changed the narrative. I appreciate you coming up to say hi. Thank you for watching my videos, It genuinely means a lot to me.

[@julian6189]

much love and support brother! Even as a dodger fan i became a fan of your channel , such a shame of what the mlb and john fisher did to the great city of Oakland. Thank you for showing the world what it means to be an A's fan

Thank you for your support as a Dodgers fan. #FJF

[@kevinhernandez37376]

I’m sure going to miss baseball in Oakland this season just flew by it just seems like yesterday. The season starting now it’s all over now. It’s the playoffs. it just sad to see the A’s leaving Oakland. look at the great moments you had with your friends, family, and your girlfriend. Thank you for a great 2024 season showing the A’s game on videos and baseball games

[@andysavage2550]

Absolutely gutted for you and the Oakland faithful. Loved watching all your videos. Long Live Oakland!

Personally as an golden state warriors fan I feel very bad when the warriors and raiders and athletics left Oakland for a different cities forever Oakland I felt very bad i also feel devastated too

[@JoshTheDragon_27]

It has been a great honor to watch these 🔥 videos and so depressing it had to end this way. It was a great honor to meet u in person and I am forever grateful that I got to be a part of this great journey! FUCK JOHN FISHER! GO OAKLAND!

[@gamer_athletics]

It was great to meet you at the Oakland Coliseum as well. Thank you for watching

[@VintageBaseballCommunity]

There will be better days in baseball someday, as long as people are willing to stand up for themselves, their teams, and their fellow fans. I hope you know your not alone in this. I genuinely feel for you guys. I had to deal with the PawSox moving away and now I cant even go to any minor league games anymore. I hope this "relocation" drama doesnt happen again in the near future but it probably will with the White Sox soon.

[@gregpeschanskiy8770]

Thank you for everything Gabe!! Long live the Oakland Athletics!

[@GLOWSTER323]

Damm kid stay strong bro!! Los Angeles Dodgers fan here and I want you to know that I feel for you and what you’re going through I hope you can find comfort in knowing you are a one of of a kind person and fan bro it bleeds through your videos you truly love your city and your ballpark and team and I wish it didn’t have to end this way for you and your city but one thing they can never take from you is the beautiful memories and relationships you have made that will forever be in your hearts man!

[@gamer_athletics]

I appreciate that thank you 🙏

[@T-Vegas]

Not a great feeling losing a team, I know. I was living there and was at the final SuperSonics game. Haven't followed the NBA ever since. Quite a coincidence that the latest team to move, also plays their final game in Seattle, and wore green and gold. Just another example of sports leagues not caring about the fans, just catering to the owners. Just reminds us, it's a business, first and foremost

[@RobertJohnson-bj5lk]

It’s the best thing about the Green Bay Packers. If some rich owners or corporation owned that team, they would have left Wisconsin long ago.

[@gamer_athletics]

A business making a huge mistake. They will never admit it, they will see

[@T-Vegas]

Remains to be seen. But with every other team leaving. Looks like the blame is squarely on the city,

[@gamer_athletics]

@@T-Vegas the city raised a billion dollars to build the stadium. They were the closest they ever been to building a stadium in Oakland who walked away? Who has tried for years to build a new stadium in 5 different areas with 2 options in Oakland. Only one of those actually went through to actually put some effort into being worked on? John Fisher. I’m not saying Oakland didn’t have their problems. But John Fisher could’ve easily built a stadium in Oakland

[@james6691]

I truly feel for you. My heart is broken for you and all A’s fans. You’re right. Fuck MLB. This is unacceptable. Peace from a Giants fan.

[@czphilly52]

Man I can feel the pain in your voice at the end there.

[@Flash3477]

Thanks for everything you've done over the months and beyond to help chronicle as much of this as you could. Nice to chat with you for a moment on the last day. Do continue to show what's going on with the Ballers and Roots, because I think it'll be important toward further proving there's still a market for pro sports in Oakland. And hey, you never know what may happen down the line. Fisher's as good at failing as anybody.

[@austin5019]

How unfortunate that Oakland and their baseball fans are losing the Athletics. 🙏 At least you have seen and made memories that will last forever!!! Good luck on whatever the future holds for your channel, Gabe!!!

[@ksr1177]

Gabe I’ve really enjoyed watching your videos it sucks losing a team. I feel your pain I remember when we lost the San Diego Chargers it sucks but it’s about $$$. Take care and thanks again.

Though we don’t know each other and Maybe have only met a handful of times at the coliseum. Your pain is very much shared and felt across baseball fans everywhere and more importantly A’s fans. We are family and will support each other in all the shit times we go through. Keep your head up. Maybe you can help me figure out what I can do about my love for this team that’s abandoned us. Sure as hell ain’t rooting for the Giants. See you in the future. Love the content you put out and just want you to know you’re not alone.

BACK TO OAKLAND, HTH, BACK TO OAKLAND. Dear Gabe: This episode of Highway to Heaven was filmed in Oakland back in the 80s. You and all A's fans can and will identify with this episode of HTH. Michael Landon and Victor French do a great job in this piece. Please check it out. It's on youtube. John Fisher would never even begin to understand this episode.

This hurts my heart for you guys. 😢 sending positive thoughts and good vibes your way - sincerely, a White Sox fan.

[@alfredodeleonjr.]

I'm sad with you and the rest of the Oakland A's fans. I'm going to miss your videos. I enjoyed your videos from beginning to the end. My favorite part was "Life begins at the end of your comfort zone". Big love to you, Gabriel. Also I got to wear the Oakland grey away jersey to work yesterday to support the A's since it was the last game being part of Oakland. But I hope a miracle happens and the Athletics stay in Oakland. 🙏

I’ll still be making KZbin videos just keep a lookout for that!

[@Specter-Gameplay]

Hey Man. Im pretty sure the whole league, and all the fans feel as much pain as you do. I surely do, though, i cant speak for everyone else. Im genuinely sorry for you and all A’s fans that they made the decision to leave. It is something that we cant control and its unfair. I know life is unfair, yes, but i dont think ownership should leave all its fans and memories behind. So im very, very sorry that this was the last of the Oakland A’s 😕

[@brianmccarthy1029]

I captured a screen shot of the last pitch just before it gets to Max Shuemann, I will always have that last moment when the A's still existed. Thanks Gabe and to the crew, you will never know how much you have helped me through this last season. FJF

Damn bro that ending hit me hard. That was true emotion from a real baseball fan. That hurts my heart to see. I’m a diehard Giants fan but I sympathize with you guys. That shouldn’t have happened and I know many, many Giants fans who feel the same way. The A’s were a lot our second team. I hope you and fans like you keep up your baseball fandom in some way, whether it be minor league clubs or whatever, because the sport is better with fans like you in it. I know you guys may never be Giants fan and I understand that, but I’d love to see you all at Giants games, your passion and energy honestly is something Oracle Park feels like it lacks at times. You guys are always welcome there and in the Giants fandom IMO. Sorry this crap had to happen to the A’s. This a proud franchise that should never have been treated this way. Stay strong bro. 💪🏻🟢🟡

Wassup Gabe. I’ve been watching your videos since the beginning of the year. Every time I watched I felt like I was at a game that I missed or that you happen to go to. I never met you but I wish I could have during this season. Just like yourself I have no words for what the MLB did to us, for what John Fisher did to us. I feel dead knowing that I have no team to root for. The only team I cared for was the OAKLAND ATHLETICS. There is no more baseball in Oakland, that was the team I grew to love while learning how to play the game I once loved. This will never be replicated. Hopefully this isn’t the end for us Oakland fans but for now it most definitely is. Take care Gabe. Wish you the best in your journey with finding the love you once had for this game. Forever Oakland 🤙

I am glad I was able to make my videos feel like you were there watching the game in person. I share the pain with you. Hopefully there is something bright in our future! Thank you for watching and supporting my videos this entire season.

It has to be embarrassing to be John Fisher. How does he live with himself? Knowing full well he has not only destroyed the franchise, but took that franchise away from a fan base who truly loved the Athletics. All John Fisher had to do was sell to someone who would actually care enough to at least renovate the coliseum and invest in some players via free agency.
