Baseball Is Dead Episode 112: A's Reverse Boycott (feat. David Cone)

The Oakland A's are the talk of the baseball world right now. On top of their 7-game win streak, A's fans held a reverse boycott last night to protest the impending move of their franchise to Las Vegas imploring John Fisher to sell the team. There were organized chants, t-shirts and signs, and a silent protest in the 5th inning. They also won the game in dramatic fashion against the best team in baseball. Dallas recounts his personal experience broadcasting the game and calls it a top 5 moment at Oakland Coliseum. David Cone also joins the show to talk Yankees/Mets subway series, his interactions with George Steinbrenner, the player/owner relationship in today's game, how to be a balanced broadcaster and maintain relationships with players, and more! We end the show talking about the sticky stuff ejection with Mets pitcher Drew Smith, Yordan Álvarez's injury, the Angels being a winning team, and Carlos Correa's walk-off home run for the Twins. Thanks for listening and we'll see you tomorrow!
