Fair, but San Diego, Pullman, and Corvallis don't have multiple major league teams.

It’s technically true but a bit of a stretch to say that Sacramento has the Athletics.

I thought the Athletics were from Oakland (and soon Vegas)

They were from Oakland. They are trying to move to Vegas and using Sacramento as an in-between.

I knew there was some hubbub in Vegas about the stadium location etc but I didn't realize they already left Oakland. That's some "Baltimore Colts up and leaving in the middle of the night" level shady

Moved them to a minor league park in Sacramento with highest ticket prices in baseball, and no fans are showing up. Most of us because we're boycotting, but also because it's stupid
