Back when we lived in Mesa ‘94-’98 we took my folks to the Cub’s spring training games at Hohokam Stadium in Mesa.
Folks, who lived in northern CA for many years, really missed supporting ALL the sports teams.
Cub’s have new digs now at Sloan Park, Spring Training home of the Cubs since 2014.
Mom never got over the Raiders moving south, called them the LA Traitors.
.
When we went to visit them in CA, taking in a game be it baseball, football or basketball was a must.
I remember when my oldest was just a year old and we went for a visit, we were shopping, son was in stroller with a Oakland A’s cap on, a stranger came up to us bent down and said “Vida you under there?.”
That was the year Vida Blue, southpaw pitcher for the A’s, was holding out for more money and didn’t start the season.

Did you see where t h e Raiders suspended Brown? I say..that’s what you get jerk Raiders. They are known to hire the biggest creeps in football..they got what they deserve. This is actually my husband’s words. I never..I mean never watch football. Ever! I hated having to twirl during football season in high school. Back later. Moving the water hose around watering trees. Can’t let them stress.
Yeah I was t happy when they moved south either. Now they’re going to Las Vegas. My oldest and I hope we can make it to a game there, even though it won’t be the same.
