The Latest at the Oakland Coliseum: Possums Have Taken Over the Press Box

The Oakland Coliseum has become quite the wildlife reservation this baseball season. First, it was the dozens of feral cats roaming the ballpark and now there are possums coming through the press box ceiling.

The only people who show up to A's games anymore are people who have to as a condition of their employment and now those people have to dodge possums falling from the sky. I am pleading, for the sake of everyone involved, for Major League Baseball to step in and either force the A's to actually build their new ballpark or go somewhere else. At this rate, someone will find pythons in the upper level by August.

When reporters complain about the ice cream machine being broken or a bad buffet spread in the press box, I'll be first in line to make fun of them. I think the beat writers in Oakland have a legitimate gripe with the possums, though.
