Tom Hanks slams Oakland A's plans to move to Las Vegas

LAS VEGAS (KSNV) — The Oakland A's plans to move to Las Vegas are getting mixed reviews, including from one Academy Award-winning actor.

Noted A's fan Tom Hanks is not happy about the potential move. He expressed his displeasure when sitting down for a Q&A event in Los Angeles for his new book.

A fan asked Hanks if he would buy the A's to keep them in Oakland, to which he responded,

We've lost the Raiders, the Warriors moved to San Francisco, and now they're going to take the A's out of Oakland," Hanks responded with a shrug. "Damn them all to hell."

As a teenager, Hanks worked as a vendor at the Oakland Coliseum selling peanuts during Athletics games.
