Let's go Oakland!

Congratulations, Oakland A’s

The Comeback Kids, the unpredictable, unbelievable Oakland A’s have just completed a three-game sweep of the rival Texas Rangers to win the American League western division title.

Congratulations to the A’s – their players and coaches – for a season that won’t soon be forgotten. Regardless of how they do in the upcoming playoffs, the A’s have pulled off the unthinkable. Before yesterday, the last time the Oakland A’s were in first place was the first day of the 2012 season. That was in April. Since then the Texas Rangers had owned that spot, sending the A’s as many as 13 games behind. And while the A’s made a great comeback during the second half of the season, they were still five games out of first place with only nine games to play – a feat no other team in major league baseball history has accomplished.

And with their new winning ways came the fans, who filled O.co Coliseum today for the final game. Let’s support the A’s as they enter the playoffs – call the A’s now to purchase tickets.

Congratulations, A’s. The Chamber and our member businesses are cheering you on.
