Late Inning Comeback? Athletics Holding Meeting In Las Vegas Today

Author Shawn Tempesta

Just when you think they are out, they pull you back in. According to rumors and reports, the Oakland Athletics are in Las Vegas today to meet with resort big wigs and the commissioner of Major League Baseball.

Obviously they aren’t here for Commish Rob Manfred‘s bachelor party… so now we debate.

We’ve heard that the Las Vegas Festival Grounds at the Strip and Sahara was likely no longer on the table, leaving the Tropicana Las Vegas land as the location of choice. But has another plot of land entered the arena? Rumor has it…

Where else in Las Vegas could the Athletics end up?

This meeting is being held at Resorts World Las Vegas may not be a coincidence. The talks are supposedly being held at the top of the hotel and have a perfect view of 3120 Las Vegas Boulevard. That’s the site of the former Frontier. The location of the expansion of the Wynn (that never happened). The site of the proposed “Moon Resort” (that, let’s face it was never going to happen). It’s just been a bunch of dirt waiting to be molded into something.

While the Festival Grounds land might have been a bit off the beaten path, this is right in the center of the North Strip. Resorts World, Wynn, Fontainebleau and more, all easily within walking distance in a huge shot of adrenaline to the less traveled portion of the most exciting street in the world.

The land may look small compared to the properties surrounding it, but it would hold a pretty decently sized ballpark by today’s standards.

So, after all the talk and conjecture, it looks like at the 11th hour, Las Vegas is once again front and center in the sights of the Athletics. This could…actually happen!

Here’s What You Missed On Aimee+Shawn This Week

While it was the first full five day week for Aimee+Shawn, it flew by! Weird, isn’t it? Maybe a four day work week isn’t good after all.

The week got started with an interesting talk Shawn had with a friend from college. He was visiting town and telling him about a woman he had been talking to for a while. The more his friend talked the more red flags Shawn saw. Do you say something, or shut up?!

Aimee felt a bit attacked after asking for a straw at Starbucks. Simple enough request, but apparently the barista didn’t like when she did it.

Former Las Vegas Aces star Dearica Hamby came forward saying her recent trade was due to her pregnancy, not her play. That got Aimee+Shawn talking about the inequities of pregnancy and how sometimes even women can be tough on other women.

Aimee made her neighborhood smile recently. Sure, it was by falling on her face, but the commuters around her got a kick out of it.

Philadelphia is an interesting place. First they slather Crisco on light poles to avoid crazed Eagles fans from climbing them, now this. They are actually considering lifeguard applicants who can’t swim. For real. WHAT?

TikTok has another dumb trend, but it’s one we can get behind. Apparently there is a movement of women who are hunting for their next husband in the aisles of The Home Depot. Not only do we think it’s a good idea, Shawn has come up with a great name for the inevitable app!

Oh, and something about Aimee’s husband literally watching her die slowly. She recalls the story of when she was choking on something, but her husband didn’t jump in and help because of a technicality.

Have a great weekend! We’ll be back Monday with tons of fun and getting one person on a sick flyaway to see P!nk! See you then!
