A fan's fight to save the Oakland A's.
This documentary will be going behind the scenes in the Summer of Sell movement, to keep the A’s Rooted in Oakland.
- In our research for the doc we’ve come across something that feels pretty FISHY going on with the county board of supervisors. We looked into why the county keeps stalling The Roots progress both at the Coliseum and for the practice field they are looking to purchase. Read on…
- We've released a video to the MLB owners that encompasses the heart and movement of Summer of Sell. Please share far and wide as we want this to get as much exposure as possible before the MLB owners vote next week.
- MLB continues to embarass itself by backing a move no one seems to want. Give Vegas an expansion for putting them through this nonsense and keep the A’s in Oakland!NEWS: Las Vegas Mayor Carolyn Goodman told FOS that she believes the Oakland A’s plans for the Tropicana site don’t make sense—and that the team should stay in Oakland.

- Hey @MLB, on Dec 1st the A's cited the deaths of 2 CHP officers for why they didn't release stadium renderings. Now, they admit hiring design team on Dec 4th, indicating they had no renderings. Exploiting such a tragic incident as an excuse raises ethical questions, right?The A's had originally announced they would reveal renderings on Dec 4th, 2023 (they cancelled the meeting on the 1st, according to @davekaval, because 2 state troopers died). So when did they hire an architect? Aug 4th? May 4th? Nope:
- Summer of Sell is in Anaheim. Can you hear us?
- We’ve been in touch with the mayors office and although we can’t reveal details, there has been continued work on stadium only plans and talks with potential investors/ buyers. As the mayor said in the article “until the shovel hits the ground, we’re going to continue to fight.Oakland mayor: Maybe John Fisher’s Las Vegas plan isn’t viable for the A’s.

- Keep fighting Oakland. As the A’s continue to botch this relocation, your voices are being heard. The narrative continues to shift and hopefully one day will be rewarded by something similar to what’s happening in Baltimore. Here’s to a loud, protest filled year ahead.Some people think we're wasting our time. That's okay. We'll always go hard for our community, even if detractors and contrarians think we're foolish. You'll never stop us.
- The A’s fans in Oakland have been fighting a historical fight all year and now at the 11th hour need the support of the Oakland City Council. @Kaplan4Oakland @DanKalb @MayorShengThao @NoelGallo5 @KevinJenkinsoak @nikki4oakland @carroll_fife @Janani4Oakland @reidforoakland
- Today Trevor May embodied all that Oakland has always been and spoke truth to power. Don’t try to silence the fans cause Oakland doesn’t quit.
- Summer of Sell is following @Jorgeleon17 and the @Oakland68s in Arlington for the MLB owners meetings as they do all they can to keep the A’s in Oakland. #OaklandNeverQuits
00:00 - The charade of the A’s and MLB relocation effort goes on. “Having a framework of an agreement in place was enough to satisfy the league and union” PS - they had a f#^$& framework in Oakland if that’s all it took.
- We want to thank every Oakland A’s fan. What you have pulled off this year has been incredible. Thank you for five amazing days of filming your stories and capturing what it means to be an A’s fan. Your passion and dedication is unmatched. You are a part of history.
- Jan 15th is coming up fast. Will Fisher cobble together any semblance of a plan by then. If not what an embarrassment for @MLB and @RobManfred. Although they will probably “corruptly” let it pass. Oh no, I hope @hammond4nevada doesn’t come after me now. deadspin.com/john-fisher-oa…
