Despite losing more games in 2011, the Oakland Athletics posted better attendance numbers this year versus the 2010 season.

Prior to the start of the 2009 season, many fans had high expectations, since the A’s added sluggers Matt Holliday, Jason Giambi and veteran leaders Orlando Caberera and Nomar [...]
