Description
The Oakland A’s move to Las Vegas took a leap forward this week, as the Nevada Legislature passed a bill granting $380 million in public funding for a new ballpark on the Strip. But fans aren’t letting the team go quietly. More than 27,000 supporters showed up Tuesday for a reverse boycott demanding owner John Fisher sell the squad. Chronicle columnist Ann Killion was there and joins host Cecilia Lei to talk about what’s next for the team and why the eternal underdogs have always inspired a special kind of pride. | Unlimited Chronicle access: sfchronicle.com/pod
