A's close out Coliseum with emotional ‘Let's Go Oakland' chant

Shortly after Kotsay's speech, Max Schuemann bid farewell to the fans in attendance by flying the A's flag around Rickey Henderson Field a final time.

Despite three games remaining on the 2024 MLB schedule , Thursday's emotional game marked the end of the A's storied 57-season stay at the Coliseum .

A's legends Dave Stewart and Rickey Henderson threw the final first pitches in a stadium that saw both of them write franchise history, while former Oakland pitcher Barry Zito sang the national anthem prior to the game.

The A's will travel up north for a season-ending three-game series against the Seattle Mariners ahead of its move to West Sacramento's Sutter Health Park next year.

In Oakland, though, the voices of A's fans will ring forever.
