A’s pitchers lock up Giants and Seth Brown’s single in the eighth proves the difference.
OAKLAND — It got quiet when Luis Matos stepped into the batter’s box for the Giants to face A’s right-hander Paul Blackburn.
The attendance figure topped the previous high of 27,759 on June 13 against Tampa Bay in the game that started the “reverse boycott” movement designed to draw attention to a fan base that feels it is unfairly characterized by uncaring and disinterested in terms of actually showing up to games. When he met with reporters before the game, A’s manager Mark Kotsay was looking forward to the energy he felt in the June 13 game. Kotsay has done his best to shield his players from dealing with stadium politics while at the same time appreciating the fan reaction.
Brett Schweinberg, of Oakland, left, receives a free “Sell the Team” rally towel from Greg Trevizo, of San Leandro, before the A’s faced the Giants Saturday at the Coliseum. Jose Carlos Fajardo/Bay Area News Group Kevin Cruz of Daly City, who said he owns season ticket packages for both teams, handed out yellow “rally towels” emblazoned with the words “Sell the Team” and “Battle of the Bay” superimposed over a drawing of the Bay Bridge.
Since then, the “Sell the Team” movement has found its way into coverage of the MLB Draft, the All-Star Game in Seattle and A’s series in San Francisco, Colorado and Los Angeles.
