I spent the last few months reporting on the strangest story in sports: the surreal, high-stakes experiment of the "Sacramento" A's. It’s a story about rootedness, compromise, & the competition between cities for big-league status. Out now in the @ringer.

#1 clearly suggests we’re talking Bay Area teams here, not just SF, so the exclusion of both the Raiders (let’s go w/ the Madden/Stabler-led 76 team) and A’s (70s or 80s take your pick) evinces either a wild blind spot or pretty gross anti-Oakland bias tbh.

“Fisher has to realize he’s a dead man walking"—@jc_bradbury. “This is the dog catching the car”—@fieldofschemes. “He’s really bad at this.”. Just a feast of quotables in the @guardian this AM on our friend John Fisher. Thank you @LengelDavid 😂 No notes.

lol they could have had three stadiums done in Oakland by now each w/ more public funding and each less than half this price.
A’s owner John Fisher says Las Vegas ballpark cost could approach $2B. Official budget now $1.75B, up from $1.5B ⚾. Fisher family will cover $1.4B, with $350M public funds. A’s seek up to $550M from investors to offset family stake. Via @reviewjournal.

Brian’s essay was so so good. Very worth your time.
Brian Burnsed (@brianburnsed) profiles golfer Sam Bennett, who became a star at the 2023 Masters while trying to overcome his father's death. The subsequent year proved not to have been as smooth as his made-for-TV Augusta narrative wanted. READ IT:
