What’s on the Line
Tonight’s game against the Minor League affiliate of the SF Giants isn't just a warmup, we’re playing for the Tom Pellack Memorial Bridge Trophy. Crafted from the original Bay Bridge steel, it was created to represent the pride and energy of the Bay Area, and it belongs in Oakland.
And don't forget that we’ve started a new tradition where the losing team’s President takes a cake to the face, live on the field. Time for payback from last year.
