If you came here looking for a punchy overview of the San Francisco Giants hosting the Athletics during MLB’s “inaugural Rivalry Weekend,” please hold on for a moment because I need to get this out of the way.
During this year’s spring cleaning, I once again managed to hold off on purging all of the gear I’d accumulated last decade during the championship era. It’s getting harder and harder to do that, but there are shirts, sweatshirts, jackets, jerseys, and hats that still mean a lot to me even if I can’t display them all, and I’ve managed to hold on to them because I’ve basically stopped adding to the collection since 2016.
