The Lew Wolff masochist convention, aka Oakland A’s Fanfest, was held at Oracle Arena yesterday and more than 7,000
patients fans showed up. And just so that the unpopular A’s owner couldn’t be accused of being inaccessible to the ticket-buying suckerdom, he held an open office: fewer than 10 fans were allowed to come in and visit with him, one at a time, says the Oakland Trib’s Monte Poole.
Add: This from a guy who’s depleted his lineup of proven players that were otherwise affordable in order to bring in younger fruit that should be ripe in about, oh, sometime after the A’s relocate to San Jose.
