Loved the podcast. Glad to hear there will be more.
With apologies for unsolicited advice, do NOT write a book about the 2024 Oakland A's. I don't think anyone cares about that team. However, depending what happens over the next several years, there's a great book to be written about the A's from 2020-2029. How the pandemic impacted the franchise, how they drove away fans with a huge ticket price hike, the botched negotiations with Oakland (or how Oakland told them to take a hike and they did), the mess with negotiations and location changes and everything else in Las Vegas, how they don't have anywhere to play from 2025-2027 and what a ****show it's going to be wherever they play. And then the great experiment of whether MLB will work in Las Vegas. I'd read THAT book.
There is so much that is wrong about the A's franchise. From the ownership through the front office through the players and yes, even through the fans. There was a book about the Seattle Pilots so a book about the A's isn't a reach. What has happened to this once-great franchise? Why doesn't Oakland want them anymore. He'll, why didn't they want the Raiders? And, apparently, Las Vegas doesn't want the A's either! Go for it, Molly!
Joe’s vocal level is too high…and he should speak about 30% less and work very, VERY hard on not interrupting. He usually repeats the same point three times in slightly different language, to no good effect. I’m surprised at how uncontrolled & sloppy he is here; he’s such a thoughtful & skillful writer.
