Episode 240 - Fandom Rethunk (with special guest Craig Calcaterra)
Twenty-six years ago this week, the A's opened at "home" in Las Vegas in front of just 7300 fans. It was an underwhelming experience to say the least. But sports fandom has become complicated by many such disappointments, as Mike and Bill discuss with special guest Craig Calcaterra, author of Rethinking Fandom, who talks about how fans can still fight back against the contemptuous sports industrial complex.
Plus, happy birthday to Vic Harris and George Van Haltren.
