Last year was the first year I didn’t have an A’s season ticket package since 2010.
I first signed on for A’s season tickets before year five of the “Geren Years.” I think “2011 A’s season ticket salesperson” was probably in the top 10 toughest jobs, somewhere between the Deadliest Catch guys and Coach Carter. I often wonder how many (few?) people decided to jump in and buy A’s tickets that year. Of course, it turned out that the timing was fortuitous. We were soon treated to the wonderful yet torturous 2012-2014 seasons. Once the team was unceremoniously and unnecessarily dismantled I slogged through the 2015 season going to a few dozen more games.
