The A’s Are Moving Up
Writing by bettingfool on Tuesday, 6 of May , 2008 at 1:15 pm
The biggest surprise of this year’s baseball season is the Oakland Athletics. Theses guys have continued to turn their heads to everyone who’s expecting them to do horrible this season. Currently, the team is tied with the Angles for the best record in the American League and has no signs of fading.
Because of their success thus far the A’s ran a promotion for the fans to increase attendance to the home games:
One dollar would be shaved off plaza level ticket prices to Sunday’s game for every hit the A’s collected Thursday.
The 2,500 plaza level tickets available as of Thursday were going for $24. Factor in the A’s 20 hits, and those seats are going for the bargain price of $4. The 20 hits were the most for the A’s since they banged out 24 on June 26, 2005 against the Giants.
Even with this loss of revenue for the team, their lack of money has never stopped them from winning in the past. One thing they will gain from this is the support that they need to keep this streak going. This year I’m rooting for the underdog and that underdog is now the dog on top!
