Despite its storied history of fronting championship sports teams, the city of Oakland appears to be poised to lose its third, and final, professional team with the impending move of the Oakland Athletics to Las Vegas.
Authors Dave Newhouse and Andy Dolich offer some insights into the history and drama behind this saga when they discuss their timely new book, Goodbye, Oakland: Winning, Wanderlust, and a Sports Town’s Fight for Survival, on Wednesday, August 23, 6:30 pm at the Oakland Public Library’s Montclair Branch, 1687 Mountain Boulevard.
Newhouse was a long-time sportswriter and columnist with the Oakland Tribune, while Dolich was a former A’s marketing vice-president. A book signing will follow the talk with copies of the book available for purchase courtesy of A Great Good Place for Books. Admission is free. Call (510) 482-7810 for more information.
