In honor of this ESPN story :

"A's begin Sacramento residency with 18-3 loss to Cubs

WEST SACRAMENTO, Calif. -- Major League Baseball arrived in this city along the Sacramento River on Monday night, and it came bearing quirks.

The clubhouses in Sutter Health Park -- the home of the Athletics for at least the next three seasons -- are located beyond the wall in left-center field, the stadium holds about 14,000 people, and the designated interview room is a corrugated metal shed down the left-field line.

Those oddities meant little to the fans who filled the place for the A's home opener and first home game away from Oakland since 1967..."



And in anticipation of a future story about the "first" game in Las Vegas, here is a ticket to the A's Las Vegas "home" opener in 1996
