People like a winning team. I know most of their fan base is probably petrified that overrated Billy Beane will sit on his hands and let the core rot or actively trade it off for a controllable prospect with potential.

The Giants still bring in fans, 4th in attendance this year

Ahead of teams like Houston, Boston, Cubs, Angels, Indians, Phillies, Braves, and Seattle. Teams that are winning or close to .500

In the world? Plenty probably grew up watching Canseco, McGwire, Chris Mulling, etc... Don't think you will find anyone under the age of 20 though

The worse courtesy pass tickets I ever used were for an A’s game about 5 years ago. It had to be close to a sellout. Usually we would get first base dugout twenty rows up.

Warriors had one of the best home court advantages long before Curry and the rest showed up.

You don't know what you're talking about, Midwest boy. Plenty of diehards out here. Stick to subjects you can speak to with authority, young Billy.

I went to an A’s game a few years ago, it was packed and the most rowdy atmosphere I’ve ever seen in a MLB park. Stadium is a shithole but their fans were out in full force

A LONG time ago. They usually do well to get that many in a month.
