We’re two months into the regular season of Major League Baseball and the team formerly known as the Oakland Athletics is having a hard time winning games or drawing fans.
Some people say that’s due, in part, to where they’re playing. While the team’s owner John Fisher is still planning an eventual relocation to Las Vegas, they’re currently at Sutter Health Field, a minor league stadium in West Sacramento.
