It isn’t possible to compare Fisher to any other owner in baseball. He is the only one who gives zero effort to fielding a winning team. There are a lot of less than average teams in MLB. Only the A’s have created an environment in which their fans know it is a hopeless situation with nothing better on the horizon.
Contrary to what Manfred and his merry pranksters have said, it is not losing per se that has led to poor attendance, it is the owner’s concerted effort to field a team that would struggle in the PCL that has led to the team’s attendance woes. Why support a team that has no desire to get any better?
If it wasn’t for revenue sharing (the worst idea in professional sports), Fisher would have sold long ago. Instead, his fellow owners have given him a reason to hang on - free money. Now he is taking his show on the road. Las Vegas will soon find out that they have been hoodwinked by a guy who would have been an elixir salesman in a past generation.
