Description

Oakland's sports history is marked by both success and departure. The city has produced 10 national titles across three major leagues, yet its teams have left for other cities twice, including the Raiders' recent move to Las Vegas. The Golden State Warriors returned to San Francisco in 1971, while the battle to keep the Oakland Athletics in the East Bay continues. This book explores Oakland's identity as a sports town and the factors that inspire teams to leave or stay. Featuring conversations with luminaries across sports, politics, and economics, it delves into the city's unique blend of grit, self-preservation, and desirability. Through the insights of Dave Newhouse and Andy Dolich, readers gain a deeper understanding of Oakland's quirks and challenges. By examining the complex relationships between teams, fans, and the city itself, this book offers a nuanced look at Oakland's place in American sports history.
