Franchise Relocation #2
Disappointed by the lack of enthusiasm and jumping at the opportunity to move to a city that has supported winning teams in the past, the Boston Red Sox announced today that they are moving the franchise to Oakland where they will become the Athletics, replacing the Crackwhores who moved to Anaheim and became the Demon Squirrels. The opportunity to move into a state of the art facility and to a fan base that has proven loyal to a winning team, Boston lost its second team in just a couple of years as the Fishnets moved to Florida just several years earlier.
