Let's say a band decided to do a special tribute show, where they did The Cars first two albums (Cars and Candy-O) in their entirety, would you go to see it?
Honorable mention: My band, Boomerang, (our drummer Jake won Best Drummer in the All WNY awards), Damone Jackson Outcome, Analog Kids, (3 piece Rush tribute band), Uncovered, Hurricane (Scorpions tribute band), The Knight Crew.
Living in the Bay Area when Bonds was on his homerun rampage, all the local stations would break in for a Bonds at bat if he was about to tie/break a record. The whole area (except for Oakland fans) was glued to the Giants and Bonds. More so than the 49ers or Raiders at the time.
John Fisher, A's owner is selling the San Jose Earthquakes to help pay for this stadium. He's getting no help from his baseball buddies. I would laugh hard when this ballpark doesn't happen. Fisher is a stain on Jose Canseco's underwear.
They're not even drawing 8500 in Sacramento. The A's are a complete joke.

Think back to the 90s. Sammy Sosa, Mark McGwire, Barry Bonds, Jason Giambi, all players who juiced, and most of us were on the edge of our seats waiting for the bomb into the stands (or McCovey Cove) that was about to happen.
What if baseball allowed players to juice legally? There would be homerun battles year after year. Imagine Ohtani and Judge hitting 70 plus HR's a year, or more! Think baseball fans wouldn't go nuts over that?
Something to at least have some fun discussing.
It happened to me last night. I posted about Jeff Skinner's lack of effort in the "Josh is still the answer" thread.
I quickly deleted it before a comment was made. Yay me.
