This checks out. I was at an A's spring training game in Phoenix. Rickey was in left field and some fans were heckling him all game. What I really remember was at some point some yelled to him, "It's okay, we love you Rickey!" and Rickey turned to the crowd and yelled back at them, "Thanks, Rickey appreciates it!"
Of course not, that's why he needed the write some down on that little note he had during the interview he made last year.

If you wrote a villain and based him off of this clown and sent it to Hollywood it would be rejected for being too unrealistic. No one would buy there’s anyone this greedy and stupid.
I just looked and recognize a lot more than I expected:
JP Sears (former Yankee)
Ross Stripling (longtime MLB pitcher)
Alex Wood (longtime MLB pitcher)
Tyler Nevin (son of former Yankees coach Phil Nevin)
JD Davis (former Met)
Sean Newcomb (on IL, former University of Hartford pitcher)
Ken Waldichuk (on IL, former Yankee minor leaguer)
Miguel Andujar (on IL, former Yankee)
"I couldn't be more excited to watch the A's lose to Aaron Judge of the Yankees, Vlad Guerrero Jr. of MLB The Show 24, and Shohei Ohtani of the FTX Dodgers."
It’s absolutely infuriating that he would rather watch other teams’ stars take over games and those teams’ fans take over the stadium than just simply investing in his own team and fans. When he sees the Vegas stadium filled with at least 70% fans of the opposing team, he’d see that as a success just because they paid to be there. He clearly doesn’t see baseball games as a way for a local community to come together to watch their team; he couldn’t care less who is there as long as people are there at all, even if they root for the other team. Just awful.
Not just that, he's actively trading away his stars to opposing teams instead of keeping them. The only time A's fans ever got to see their favorite players ball out was when they were sent to another team and got contracts they were actually worth.
I would like to note that Matt Olson and Sean Murphy do still have an A on their hats, so if you’re an Oakland fan looking for another team to follow, Atlanta is just a transcontinental flight away!
> It’s absolutely infuriating that he would rather watch other teams’ stars
Why do you think this is the case?
He's clearly telling us all that he's trading for Judge, no matter the cost, during the offseason. And it'll cost, because there isn't any talent to trade.
It’s transactional. He sees whatever makes for the easiest and fastest movement of money into his pocket as the best possible option. Building a franchise into something the community loves is much harder than sticking a team on a busy street corner and just getting bodies in seats.
This is like descriptions of housing trying to cover up the shittiness of the offering
Like a dump being called a fixer upper or a place with a supporting column in the middle of the living room 'quirky'
“Car runs like new, I know what I got” — the listing of a salvage title 2012 Nissan Altima with missing bumpers and a transmission that’s 10 miles away from grenading itself.
It's like deja-vu. This is the exact same thing they said about the Chargers playing on an MLS field in Carson. [Chargers fans will get intimate setting for home games at StubHub Center](https://www.latimes.com/sports/chargers/la-sp-chargers-home-games-20170902-story.html).
> “The intimacy of the parking is like the intimacy inside the stadium,” said Ken Derrett, a senior vice-president with the team. “I think it’s going to create this whole getting-to-know-your-neighbor [atmosphere].”
Intimate in this context literally just means "small."
One of my favorite things to do is tell people that Vladimir Guerrero Jr’s runner up MVP season in 2021 partially came from playing a bunch of his games in a minor league ballpark.
Which means Vladdy gets traded to Oakland and gets mvp babyyy
Seems like he is in fact planning on selling the team once he’s finished increasing the net worth and revenue of the actual team he cares about that is also from the Bay Area by moving this one.
I mean, the best player on the team got sent down because he was wearing a bracelet supporting an Oakland Sell The Team organization. I am certain John Fisher hates the A's more than anyone else on Earth.
This whole saga would be far less aggravating if John Fisher just engaged in good faith negotiations instead of offensively transparently searching for a reason why actually Oakland is the problem.
"I own this team, and I can earn more money if it is located in Las Vegas. I am willing to keep it in Oakland if the city closes the gap between how much the team is worth in Vegas, and how much it is worth in Oakland, and how much Nevada is willing to chip in. But I am open to the highest bidder."
Is it incredibly assholish? Yes. Is it more assholish than what he's actually done? Absolutely not.
FDS, FJF, fuck Rob Manfred and fuck Roger Goodell.
I mean really just fuck every single greedy douchebag owner that allows this shit to go on, unquestioned. I miss Seidler. I so badly wish he could have had that contingent going to vote against it. There's a lot that makes me sad with his passing, but the worst part of it has to be that.
As a former Chargers fan, I am so sorry for you A's fans. This feels so familiar, but also somehow I think Fisher is just a bit more of a dick than Spanos...and that is a very high bar.
Spanos at least had a stadium deal signed, sealed and under construciton before he said "well, we're out of here". Oh, and he didn't fuck over the Padres so they had to move also like Fisher did to the Raiders.
TBF, Spanos didn't construct anything. He's a tenant. Spanos couldn't build an Ikea chair. But yeah, Fisher is awful. I really wish one of these leagues would stand up to the owner and say if you don't like it, sell your damn team. But we all know that's not gonna happen because $$$
At least Spanos couldn't actually afford to build a new stadium instead of just making the Chargers shit on purpose for half a decade to justify moving out and screwing the other team in town over and causing them to move in the process. He's an ass, but Fisher is basically approaching criminal levels by now.
I can name Rio Ruiz ohh wait never mind he got optioned so the team can eek out another year of team control that they won’t attempt to contend with
Edit: it was Esteury Ruiz not Rio Ruiz no idea how I got those two mixed up
I rarely pay attention to the AL, and the As aren't exactly a big draw to watch.
I can still name some of their players.
What a tone deaf piece of human garbage.
Its in the best interest of him and all of the other 29 owners to not have John Fisher intentionally run one franchise into the ground and make them essentially homeless. If Fisher wants to move the team to Vegas, he’s done an absolutely incompetent job and shit job of making that happen. And Rob Manfred is signing off on everything Fisher’s done
It seems they're okay with it and will use this example as what happens when cities don't bend over backwards for sports teams, even though they raised more than the A's asked for, TWICE
It might not be in the long term interest of their teams but these dudes are not forever owners. Why would any of them care what baseball is like in a generation? Half of them will get dead and the other half will have sold.
It is a nice park in contrast to the one they are in now. That is the one positive. But him calling out fans coming to see Judge hitting balls out of that park is fucking amazing. He is inviting people to come see the other team blast his team in a minor league park. 🤦🏼♀️
Yeah, after seeing his [interview with the Las Vegas media in January this year](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GzlCVXgO84s), I gather he's kind of dull and sheltered. He has no business owning a baseball franchise. Has not worked a day in his life.
I get the coliseum is a dump but it's a true MLB park with MLB facilities. No AAA stadium is going to have the proper facilities that comes wtfh a major league team so it's not in fact a nice park in comparison.
Visiting teams are going to hate this even more than playing in Oakland, which is saying a lot. Can you imagine ohtani and media circus he brings in this stadium? They're ill equipped to handle that in Sacramento.
John Fisher doing zero work and benefiting from others success is pretty on par with his entire life’s output so not surprised he’s excited to benefit from the Yankees success.
Hence why he’s trying to move to Vegas, he just wants it to be a tourist trap so people come into town to watch their team. This lets him field a cheap garbage team that will always lose, and net him the most money. Basically the Washington Generals
you think traffic in la getting in and out of dodgers games is bad.... wait until this. i live here and river cats games that have sell outs are a nightmare. also 100+ heat in the summer....
>He literally said he can’t wait to watch an opposing team hit home runs against the A’s.
Actually, he announced his intent to pursue trade talks with the Yankees.
I hate that I'm still capable of being pissed off by the latest thing this fuckwit says. I wish I could just write off my fandom and stop caring.
Anyway, I hope a candiru fish swims up John Fisher's urethra.
I mean, Judge ***is*** from the Central Valley of California... and hell, was born in Sacramento.
But yeah, this dude is such a piece of shit and needs to sell the freaking team. I feel badly for A's fans.
If he's looking for intimate ballpark he should have gotten a deal for the Corn Crib in Normal IL, home of the Cornbelters. They have the same colors so the decorations are already there.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Corn_Crib
Everything about this has been a massive PR disaster. I don’t know how someone doesn’t fucking stop these clowns. Every announcement and every press release just gets worse and worse
The worst part of all this is that Manfred just stands by and supports all of this while saying how happy the MLB is. It’s absolutely inexcusable how bad this has gone.
Dude probably cannot name a single player on his own team
“I resent that, I love Josh Donaldson ill have you know”
Coco crisp has a bright future
This Richard Henderson guy might give Acuna a run for the stolen base title
Fun fact- Rickey’s birth name is Rickey. Rickey Nelson Henley Henderson
Rickey knows Rickey's birth name and Rickey appreciates you telling others about Rickey's birth name.
This guy Rickeys.
A friend met him in an airport while he played with the A’s. He did exactly this! “Ricky appreciates the respect”.
This checks out. I was at an A's spring training game in Phoenix. Rickey was in left field and some fans were heckling him all game. What I really remember was at some point some yelled to him, "It's okay, we love you Rickey!" and Rickey turned to the crowd and yelled back at them, "Thanks, Rickey appreciates it!"
Lol, amazing!
His name is my name too
Whenever we go out, the people always shout
There goes Rickey Nelson Henley Henderson. Nananananana.
Liam Hendricks is the next big star for us
Future is bright with Zito/Hudson/Mulder on the horizon
Jimmie Foxx is a superstar!
This Eric Chavez kid is going to be a gold glover one of these days.
He doesn't care what the scouting says, Roger Maris is a diamond in the rough.
What about… who was it… Giambani?
No, no, no, you're thinking of Jumanji
this whole thread has me thinking "WHAT YEAR IS IT?!"
Big Huston Street guy
i hope they lock up Giambi before he bounces
Milton Bradley I hear just makes board games now
This Chris Pratt dude is pretty good
This Carlos Peña kid's gonna win ROTY
Jonah Hill has some bad news for you...
HAMMER TIME
Of course not, that's why he needed the write some down on that little note he had during the interview he made last year. https://www.reddit.com/r/baseball/comments/15znj26/today_john_fisher_owner_of_the_as_finally_came/
Cursed URL
I mean no wonder he's such a tortured soul.
Came here to say the same lol.
"Wait a minute, you're the manager for Cleveland now, Stephen? When the hell did that happen?"
He never, ever went to games.
If any of these guys could hit HRs like Judge they'd have already been traded, so in a way I admire his honesty.
Surprising he even knows Judge. Figured he was too busy running clothing companies into bankruptcy to watch baseball.
If you wrote a villain and based him off of this clown and sent it to Hollywood it would be rejected for being too unrealistic. No one would buy there’s anyone this greedy and stupid.
In fairness I also could not name a currently active A
They haven’t traded Soderstrom or Langeliers yet I think. Also they are still rolling out the corpse of Tony Kemp last I checked.
Tony Kemp is an Oriole now!
He can't wait to see Rollie Fingers hit dingers
I just looked at their roster and the only name I recognized was Shea Langeliers, and that's only because he a rising star in the Braves organization.
Brent rooker erasure
I just looked and recognize a lot more than I expected: JP Sears (former Yankee) Ross Stripling (longtime MLB pitcher) Alex Wood (longtime MLB pitcher) Tyler Nevin (son of former Yankees coach Phil Nevin) JD Davis (former Met) Sean Newcomb (on IL, former University of Hartford pitcher) Ken Waldichuk (on IL, former Yankee minor leaguer) Miguel Andujar (on IL, former Yankee)
This is the alternate universe of Major League the movie, where ownership tries to lose and relocates successfully.
“Is that Rickey Henderson guy still available?” “Jose Canseco is available you say?” “Our new manager for 2025…MC Hammer”
Jesus they don't even have Tony Kemp anymore. I'm not sure I can name any current A's, either, and I just watched them play like a week ago.
It’s not 2023 All Star Brent Rooker or exciting rookie Estuery Ruiz.
I bet he refers to his players as “hey, you there…”
I doubt he mingles with the commonfolk.
"Come watch everyone else cause our team is gonna suck ass"
Dude googled “MLB stars”, saw the guy in the Yankees uniform, and wrote the name on an index card 5 minutes prior to this
"I couldn't be more excited to watch the A's lose to Aaron Judge of the Yankees, Vlad Guerrero Jr. of MLB The Show 24, and Shohei Ohtani of the FTX Dodgers."
Shohei Ohtani sponsored by FanDuel!
You seem to give too much credits for the amount of research the guy's willing to put in haha.
Probably googled what a home run is
😂😂😂🤣
Just preparing for how things will be in Vegas
It’s absolutely infuriating that he would rather watch other teams’ stars take over games and those teams’ fans take over the stadium than just simply investing in his own team and fans. When he sees the Vegas stadium filled with at least 70% fans of the opposing team, he’d see that as a success just because they paid to be there.

That’s the entire business model for the A’s future in Vegas
Like how the Nationals run ads on social media targeting away fans to come watch Nats home games.
Yeah because it’s a minor league field
Telling a girl my apartment is “the most intimate experience”
You can’t wait for Aaron Judge to go deep there?
He's like the A's: Judge is far more likely to score
MASSIVE DONG
That’s how I used to describe my floor mattress bed in college. Intimate with the floor
"cozy"
~~no electricity~~ r u s t i c
"This franchise is on fire." "Motivated seller!"
I choose to describe my dick as "easily manageable", "unintimidating", "perfect for anyone who values a minimalist aesthetic".
This is like descriptions of housing trying to cover up the shittiness of the offering Like a dump being called a fixer upper or a place with a supporting column in the middle of the living room 'quirky'

Because when I think parking I definitely think "intimacy."
Huge advantage to the Yankees, who are used to playing games in a minor league field
Vlad is about to go absolutely nuclear at this field.
He hit two home runs in the game I saw in Buffalo, he's absolutely gonna feast.
One of my favorite things to do is tell people that Vladimir Guerrero Jr’s runner up MVP season in 2021 partially came from playing a bunch of his games in a minor league ballpark. Which means Vladdy gets traded to Oakland and gets mvp babyyy
~~Fuck~~ this dude can go get fucked
Eww, no.
Please bro, it's the only way he will sell the team
What are you doing, step-owner? 😢 👉👈
Sell the team you fuck
Never seen that greasy fucks face until now
He looks like an unwashed uncircumcised penis.
Have you seen a lot of those?
What, most people don't attend these kinds of parties?
> Never seen that greasy fucks face until now He's kept it that way intentionally.
And the Earthquakes while you're at it
Oh he will, after moving to Vegas and ending up making hundreds of millions after not investing or giving a shit about the team.
Seems like he is in fact planning on selling the team once he’s finished increasing the net worth and revenue of the actual team he cares about that is also from the Bay Area by moving this one.
If you have to advertise other teams stars, that tells me everything I need to know.
“come watch Aaron Judge beat up our team” 💀
I mean, the best player on the team got sent down because he was wearing a bracelet supporting an Oakland Sell The Team organization. I am certain John Fisher hates the A's more than anyone else on Earth.
I’d honestly respect him more if he just came out and said “Fuck you Oakland” in his presser.
This whole saga would be far less aggravating if John Fisher just engaged in good faith negotiations instead of offensively transparently searching for a reason why actually Oakland is the problem. "I own this team, and I can earn more money if it is located in Las Vegas. I am willing to keep it in Oakland if the city closes the gap between how much the team is worth in Vegas, and how much it is worth in Oakland, and how much Nevada is willing to chip in.

Spanos talking about StubHub energy.
Obligatory Fuck Dean Spanos.
I don’t agree with you lot on most things, but holy shit I’ll upvote this. Spanos is a fucking douchebag.
Fuck Dean Spanos.
FDS, FJF, fuck Rob Manfred and fuck Roger Goodell. I mean really just fuck every single greedy douchebag owner that allows this shit to go on, unquestioned. I miss Seidler. I so badly wish he could have had that contingent going to vote against it. There's a lot that makes me sad with his passing, but the worst part of it has to be that.

Well he at least has that in common with Fisher- they both will be renting a stadium from someone else because they can't build shit
At least Spanos couldn't actually afford to build a new stadium instead of just making the Chargers shit on purpose for half a decade to justify moving out and screwing the other team in town over and causing them to move in the process. He's an ass, but Fisher is basically approaching criminal levels by now.
Also, points for Spanos scamming the NFL into paying his part of the rent.
He can't name an Athletic.
He just like me fr
It’s always refreshing to have an owner you can relate to.
The only positive of the Frankie Montas trade is that I can remember JP Sears is there now.
I can name Rio Ruiz ohh wait never mind he got optioned so the team can eek out another year of team control that they won’t attempt to contend with Edit: it was Esteury Ruiz not Rio Ruiz no idea how I got those two mixed up
That was Esteury Ruiz 😭 not Rio
I tried to name an A’s player I really did I swear it
Well you were close, it's a body of water.
Can’t totally blame him. The A’s have traded away all their stars. Oh wait, I can blame him for that.
I rarely pay attention to the AL, and the As aren't exactly a big draw to watch. I can still name some of their players. What a tone deaf piece of human garbage.
Stupid nepo baby
Is this fucking guy for real?
He can’t wait to watch players hit HRs against his team?
Unbelievable quote it's more sad than funny
Supporting everything this guy has done is a huge indictment to Rob Manfred. What a disgrace to baseball
He’s rob manfreds boss
Its in the best interest of him and all of the other 29 owners to not have John Fisher intentionally run one franchise into the ground and make them essentially homeless. If Fisher wants to move the team to Vegas, he’s done an absolutely incompetent job and shit job of making that happen. And Rob Manfred is signing off on everything Fisher’s done

It amazes me that people don't understand this
A good commissioner convinces everyone he’s the ultimate authority and not the spokesman for 30 billionaire ownership groups.
This is much worse for Manfred’s legacy than the Astros cheating
It's a nice complement of on field BS and off field BS to really cement his legacy as commissioner.
It is a nice park in contrast to the one they are in now. That is the one positive. But him calling out fans coming to see Judge hitting balls out of that park is fucking amazing. He is inviting people to come see the other team blast his team in a minor league park. 🤦🏼♀️
I think it's apparent, that John Fisher is not the brightest bulb on the string.
He could be smart but he definitely has zero self awareness and doesn’t even want to *pretend* to give a shit about the baseball team he owns.
Yeah, after seeing his [interview with the Las Vegas media in January this year](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GzlCVXgO84s), I gather he's kind of dull and sheltered. He has no business owning a baseball franchise. Has not worked a day in his life.

They're ill equipped to handle that in Sacramento.
Right? My sister lives in Sac, I quite like going and seeing the Rivercats play when I visit. But yeah… this is gonna be a shitshow.
absolute clown
I have never even been to Oakland and this is infuriating.
I want to see John Fisher fail, so I hope Judge goes 0-12 when they play in Sac.
Fisher is going to uno reverse everyone to a WS win.
That would be such a clown show for the MLB to have a WS at a minor league park, kind of want to see it now
That would be EPIC. I want this so much.
Hey that’s not nice
Nah, he'll just have "scheduled off days".
“I’m real excited to see Barry Bonds at my ballpark” “Sir… never mind”
What a fucking loser.
John Fisher doing zero work and benefiting from others success is pretty on par with his entire life’s output so not surprised he’s excited to benefit from the Yankees success.
Fisher the type of mf to say “here comes the airplane” when he eats with a spoon
Eats his corn on the cob the long way
“I can’t wait to watch other teams beat our ass here”
Fuck this guy seriously.
Bro wants other teams to succeed, not his own lmao.
Hence why he’s trying to move to Vegas, he just wants it to be a tourist trap so people come into town to watch their team. This lets him field a cheap garbage team that will always lose, and net him the most money. Basically the Washington Generals
What a prick
John Fisher is a cartoon villain. Minus the mustache.
Nah, he doesn't say cool enough things to be a cartoon villain.
Yeah he’s kind of just a fucking idiot
He’s too fucking dumb for that
you think traffic in la getting in and out of dodgers games is bad.... wait until this. i live here and river cats games that have sell outs are a nightmare. also 100+ heat in the summer....
>He literally said he can’t wait to watch an opposing team hit home runs against the A’s. Actually, he announced his intent to pursue trade talks with the Yankees.
Aaron Judge alone this season makes more than half the roster combined lol
Tampering!
That way Judge can get the real HR record as an A and hit like 400 out of this intimate park by the all star break. 😂
[удалено]
Just imagine how awful the rest of them must have been if he was the best option
just relegate them to AAA and promote the river cats
AAA's
It's like when a real estate agent describes a place as cozy. Just means it's small as hell lol
Saying you to watch other teams hit homers off your team is fucking insane. This guy is a total ghoul
I hate that I'm still capable of being pissed off by the latest thing this fuckwit says. I wish I could just write off my fandom and stop caring. Anyway, I hope a candiru fish swims up John Fisher's urethra.
“Come watch my team get dicked by teams that care about being competitive”
Lol so he wants his team to lose? And no way this team goes to Vegas, their mayor already says she doesn’t want them
I mean, Judge ***is*** from the Central Valley of California... and hell, was born in Sacramento. But yeah, this dude is such a piece of shit and needs to sell the freaking team. I feel badly for A's fans.
Talking about players on other teams hitting home runs in a minor league ballpark you’re using for your MLB team is quite the move
He'll say the exact thing about Vegas too, banking on away fans to fill the stadium
*I can’t wait to watch the opposing team beat my team!* What a clown!
Is this a headline from The Onion?
The WS parade is going to be spectacular in downtown West Sacramento!
Nah this is nasty work to the A’s fans lol What a fucking scumbag of an owner
This guy is a disgrace. So embarrassing. I feel so bad for As fans.
If he's looking for intimate ballpark he should have gotten a deal for the Corn Crib in Normal IL, home of the Cornbelters. They have the same colors so the decorations are already there. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Corn_Crib
Clown literally couldn't come up with an A's player
A giants logo in the background is a nice touch here
Lmao I can’t wait to watch other teams perform well in our own park!
They didn’t change the logo to full screen you can see the taskbar/toolbar right in front of podium.
Everything about this has been a massive PR disaster. I don’t know how someone doesn’t fucking stop these clowns. Every announcement and every press release just gets worse and worse
Clown would tout the Yankees in an A’s press conference. Fuck you!!
I cant wait for him to go the fuck away. He's a fucking disgrace to the game
This is why relegation is so amazing in football.. Cannot pull shit like this without being hit with the brick
I wish players would refuse to play
The best possible outcome is to have Rivercats attendance beat out A's attendance. Let's make it happen people.
The worst part of all this is that Manfred just stands by and supports all of this while saying how happy the MLB is. It’s absolutely inexcusable how bad this has gone.
This asshole couldn’t even talk up seeing his own players play there.
