FILE - In this Sept. 22, 2019, file photo, Oakland Athletics fans drape the bleachers with messages for the team during the A's baseball game against the Texas Rangers in Oakland, Calif.

"I think any rate-based stat record -- batting average, ERA -- would have to be considered an anomaly," Oakland fan Adam Brooks said. (AP Photo/D. Ross Cameron, File)
