OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) — A devoted group of Bay Area baseball fans have sent “Stay In Oakland” boxes to 15 Major League Baseball team owners, imploring them to vote no on the team’s planned relocation to Las Vegas. The group targeted owners who could be swayed to vote against the proposed move during league meetings this week. The list includes Boston’s John Henry and the New York Yankees’ Hal Steinbrenner. The boxes contain green A’s caps, baseball cards featuring the owners’ likenesses and a note detailing why they should vote against Las Vegas.
