SAN FRANCISCO – The West Sacramento Athletics have announced they are renaming the team to the Sacramento Lady Bird Bridges. While we both hate that movie and would like to call out that the Athletics currently play out of WEST Sacramento, we approve of this name change. The I Street bridge is an iconic monument of the city.
Raley's Field (get rekt Sutter), also plans to make some changes. First on the list, they’re replacing the outfield grass with sharp crushed boulders. This is predicted to drive up sales by Little League teams immensely. The Dinger dog is also being renamed to the Extinct Delta Fry Meat Tubes.
While these exciting changes are incoming, let's not forget the best news of all, the complete demolition of the Oakland Coliseum. Those bleachers gave me sciatica, and I’ve only visited twice. While I did buy a nice $2 warm Coors Light on that concrete bridge approaching the Coliseum, I can’t say that I will be all that torn up about it.
