The era of sacrament for athletics could not have had a worse beginning.
In case you have lost it, athletics will be in Sacramento in a lower league baseball stadium for at least the next three seasons before calling Las Vegas home. The previous 57 seasons had passed in Oakland.
Well, on Monday he scored the first time they played a game at home in Sacramento, and had an emotional beginning by honoring the deceased legend of Rickey Henderson athletics (although, of course, it became a family name in Oakland) before turning completely on the side.

Each member of the athletics arrived in the field during the presentations of the dinner of Henderson, which they used throughout the game, and their daughters threw the first ceremonial launch: he died in December at the age of 65.
And that was the positive thing that happened. Before the athletics hit at the bottom of the first entrance, the Chicago puppies led, 4-0.
It worsened even more, since athletics pitchers were beaten by 14 more races, while the Carson Kelly receiver hit the cycle (the athletics never allowed one in the Oakland coliseum).
After dividing a set of four games in Seattle last weekend, it was an 18-3 defeat against the puppies. Joey Estes allowed six races won in nine hits and four walks in his four work tickets, while Noah Murdock was accused of six won in his single relief entry. It was the largest amount of races allowed by any team in a first game in 100 years.

The radio transmission of athletics also came out numerously throughout the game; In a moment, he even played television broadcast.
After the hard loss, Manager Mark Kotsay made his daily press conference after the game in no less than a shed.
Nor would it be an athletics game without some songs of “selling the team” of the crowd.
Ah, and there was also a delay of drones.
There was good news: the game was announced as a sales sale … with 12,119 people who attended.
The puppy player Nico Hoerner, a native of Oakland who grew an A fan, was not satisfied with the circumstances.
“Around the league, many people really appreciated the quality of baseball that was played there, without always the best resources, and the fans and the energy they brought,” said Hoerner, who added that “it would rather play in Oakland” and have friends boycotting the team, he told the journalists before the game.
“Many players talk very well about their experiences playing in the colosseum, even if the locker rooms were not the most elegant. It was a great baseball place, and I hope that fans know that players appreciate many of the same things as fans do.”

While the Oakland Coliseum did not exactly had the greatest comfort, at least it was a major league stadium.
Athletics will not discover the city in its name at the moment, and it is understandable that, as it seems that it will want to be forgotten very quickly.
