Anthony Rendon wasn’t very talkative Saturday, two days after video surfaced of the Los Angeles Angels All-Star appearing to take a swipe at an Oakland fan after a 2-1 opening day loss to the Athletics. “I’m sorry. I can’t comment,” the third baseman told a throng of reporters Saturday at the end of a news conference on the field at the Oakland Coliseum that lasted fewer than five minutes. MLB said Friday it was looking into the incident. MLB investigating video showing Angels’ Anthony Rendon grabbing fan by the shirt Rendon went hitless and struck out twice in three at-bats on Thursday. He left the Angels dugout and was on his way to the tunnel leading to the clubhouse when he stopped and apparently confronted a fan sitting near the railing. Rendon accused the fan of calling him a slur. The man denied it, and Rendon cussed at the fan and took a swipe at him with his left hand before walking away. Someone nearby caught the incident on video and posted it on social media.“This happ...

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 07:02:17 GMT

Oakland A’s fans lucked out last season.No, not when it came to the stadium drama. They were whipsawed between two sites, with a third — Las Vegas — dangling over their devoted green-and-gold-capped heads.And not when it came to the team. The A’s traded all-stars (and crowd favorites) Matt Olson, Matt Chapman and Chris Bassitt.But when it came to innovative food sold at the Oakland Coliseum stands, fans blessedly escaped some ghastly sounding combinations. You see, Aramark Sports & Entertainment, the concessionaire for nine MLB stadiums, had developed a “Dare to Pair” menu for the 2022 season.Just how daring was Aramark? Toronto Blue Jays fans got Pickle Poutine, cheese curds topped with fried pickle straws, peanut butter gravy, bacon bits, dill and scallions (the very definition of a hot mess). For Kansas City Royals fans, it was the BBQ Reese’s Sandwich, a barbecue-sauced pulled pork (so far, so good) to which Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups were added...
