The A's have been consistent winners and are consistently in the bottom tier in terms of attendance. 24th last year in a season in which they were running away with the league prior to their collapse. They've only outdrawn the M's once in the past .. I can't count that far back .. years.
A's current payroll? $80 million. Outspending 3 teams.
I can understand how people look at Billy Beane and see a creative innovator. I see an incredible waste of a franchise.
The stadium they play in? The 'fan' experience? All those championships with the names above.. bah.
