Oakland Athletics Fans Urge MLB Owners to Reject Team's Proposed Relocation to Las Vegas

"Stay in Oakland" boxes sent by fans to sway MLB owners ahead of next week's relocation vote as they hope to retain the team's legacy in the city against a Las Vegas move backed by A's owner John Fisher.

Oakland Athletics fans have begun a last-ditch effort to prevent the team's planned relocation to Las Vegas by sending curated 'Stay in Oakland' boxes to select Major League Baseball team owners, urging them to vote against the move.
The boxes were created by Last Dive Bar, a supportive local clothing company, and include items such as an A's hat, a custom baseball card, a DVD created by the 'Summer of Sell' group and a personal letter from Oakland Mayor Sheng Thao.
The passionate effort proposes to demonstrate fans' dedication to keeping the A's in Oakland, where the team has been based for over five decades.
In the past, fans have also made their opinions heard through various events such as a 'reverse boycott,' during which thousands wore T-shirts reading 'SELL' and chanted the same during a game.
The vote on the proposed relocation will take place during the annual MLB owners meetings in Arlington, Texas, next week, and a three-fourths majority approval is necessary for the change to officially take place.
