Update: They just hit their goal of $25K. The first 5K attendees of the 6/13 game get a shirt upon arrival. Pretty amazing. Again, I’ve never heard of a fan-funded giveaway like this before. teapaw.org/oakland68s/status/1665…
#Athletics FANS are funding their own giveaway for the June 13th game. I doubt think this has ever happened in the history of MLB. So far $18K has been raised. Unreal. oakland68s.org/product-page/…

A couple lines from the long letter: "We have to act if we want to avoid being a 'town' with only Chipotle and Cheesecake Factories. " ... "We simply won't put our employees in harm's way to lose money quicker, not for a gin and tonic." -Glenn Kaplan, Make Westing
