The Oakland A's final game at the Oakland Coliseum is now in the history books.
The Oakland A's final game at the Oakland Coliseum is now in the history books. The A's played their first game at the Coliseum in 1968 and lost 4-1 to the Baltimore Orioles. The A's have now balanced that with a win in their final game at the Oakland Coliseum.Even before the game started, it was clear this would be no ordinary baseball game as the A's took on Texas. The first pitch was thrown out by A's royalty, Dave Stewart and Ricky Henderson.
Wood has been with the A's for more than 30 years."It's that green and gold blood that you develop over all those years; that's definitely the difficult part," he said.Wood said the home plate was removed so it could go to the Major League Baseball Hall of Fame. Wood said to KTVU that he started working for the A's when he was 19 years old. His future is uncertain as he and many others lose their jobs."It's been a rough day for sure. Just everything about it.
