The game had plenty of emotion as well as some interruptions. Somebody threw a smoke bomb onto the field at one point, and a fan ran onto the field and made a dash for it, as well.
In the end, A’s fans soaked up all the memories, staying well past the final out. The team will now relocate to Sacramento for the next three seasons before moving to their new permanent home in Las Vegas in 2028.
