"Yes, the A’s flew from Seattle to Oakland on a plane the Giants are chartering this season.
No, the A’s players weren’t upset, embarrassed or complaining, according to right fielder Josh Reddick.
Reddick tweeted a picture of the plane, with a Giants logo, and heard back from not-too-thrilled A’s fans. It’s believed a few folks in the front office weren’t pleased, either."
