As if 50 years in Oakland wasn’t exciting enough, the Oakland Athletics have announced a completely free game to fans on April 17 as part of its 50 years in Oakland celebration.
In an official statement posted to the Athletics website, A’s President Dave Kaval voiced excitement for the offer:
“The entire 2018 season will be a celebration of the A’s rich history, and offering the first free MLB game is another unique way for us to celebrate our team and wonderful fans,” Kaval said in the statement.
An anniversary gift to Oakland: We're celebrating 50 seasons in Oakland with FREE tickets to our regular season game on Apr 17, the exact date we debuted here in Oakland 50 years prior.
