Another team says ”goodbye, Oakland”

Fans of the Oakland A’s are still trying to make sense of the bombshell announcement earlier this month that the team has entered an agreement to purchase land for a new ballpark in Las Vegas.

So why can’t Oakland seem to keep its sports teams? Well, it turns out that there is a long tangled history to that question going back decades, but luckily two Bay Area sports insiders have just written a book laying it all out. That book is “Goodbye, Oakland: Winning, Wanderlust and a Sports Town’s Fight For Survival.”

On this edition of KCBS In Depth we discuss the past, present and future of sports in Oakland with one of the book’s co-authors, Andy Dolich, a sports business consultant who worked in the A’s front office for over a decade and then went on to serve in executive roles for the Warriors and the 49ers.
