The Las Vegas Review-Journal reports that the Oakland A's owner has made the largest "pledge" for a ballpark in MLB history.

The story is an affront to journalism. Let's take a journey through it. Image The first two paragraphs make three assertions of fact.

- That's the most an owner has ever spent
- Details on A's stadium plans

What's missing? A source of any kind for any of this information. Image
