The game marked the end of an era — after 57 seasons in Oakland that saw the A's make 21 playoff appearances, win six pennants and four World Series championships, the team is bound for Sacramento and then, eventually, Las Vegas.
Understandably, Thursday's game produced a wide gamut of emotions. Imagn Images and Getty Images photographers were there to capture it all.
Check out some of the best photos from the final A's game at the Oakland Coliseum:
