^^^also the only team outside of the yankees to win 3 in a row....the A's also swept the giants in '89....the giants didnt win a world series in 54 years in SF...almost moved to Florida in '93....also have the first privately paid for sports stadium.
The A's are NOT the most pathetic organization....in fact given everything they've gone thru its remarkable what they've been able to do. When the giants still played at Candlestick, it looked like the Coliseum. As I've said before, a new, small ballpark would sell out in Oakland. As for MLB players saying they dont want to play here, its because of the shitty ass stadium. It has nothing to do with the organization.
AND the reason the Giants have more fans than the A's is because of the faggy amount of fairweather fans. At Cain's perfect game, I had to listen to these FAGS behind me talk about EVERYTHING other than the game the entire time, then in the 9th inning start cheering as if THEY were members of the team.
Liking the Giants after they won the World Series is like being friends with the rich, loser kid because he's got a brand new N64. Let's not forget how many shittttttty years the Giants had, how many years they lost to the Dodgers the last series of the years to JUST miss the playoffs.
edit: 52 years in SF. 54 since their last title.
