Oakland A’s become the first MLB team to sell tickets with Dogecoin

The Oakland A’s said they sold a pod of tickets for 100 dogecoin. One dogecoin was worth about $0.48 at the time, which would mean the pod cost about $48, according to Business insider. Oakland A’s president Dave Kaval said the team processed the payments using Dogecoin, which makes the A’s the first Major League Baseball team to do so. Bloomberg reports that Dogecoin has been used for marketing gimmicks in recent weeks, including the Oakland A’s decision to offer the seats for 100 dogecoin.
