It’s Oaktober!!!

Let's go Oakland! Clap...Clap...Clap Clap Clap!!! It's October in Oakland and with events like Oaktoberfest in the Dimond, Rockridge Out and About as well as Halloween, it is bound to be a great month. In addition to all the fun, the A's are post season bound with a clinching of a wildcard game spot and are hopefully on the verge of taking the American League West. This will give us some great bonus events in a month that is already packed with excitement. Make sure you reserve your playoff tickets early at www.oaklandas.com. For those days that you are not at the coliseum, make sure you check out the list of some of our favorite events below.

When you are root, root, rooting for the A's don’t forget to represent the town and the team with some sort of Oakland paraphernalia. Check out our new style just added to the site and if you still want something different or want to be try an original style, look no further than the RepOakland apparel page .
