Yankees sweep A’s in final Oakland faceoff
It’s only fitting that the New York Yankees sent off the Oakland Athletics with a clean series sweep. As the franchise that’s delivered the Oakland fanbase more heartbreak than any other over the last 25 years, through regular season and postseason dominance, something about it just felt right.
The Moneyball narrative has dominated Oakland baseball history in that time, but that story could not have been told without the juxtaposition of our bargain-bin franchise competing head-to-head against the fat-pocketed Yankees. As painful as it’s been to lose to them time and time again, such is the life of an Oakland A’s fan and I’ll remember every moment of it.
