Regarding “A’s will explore move as stadium bid stays stalled” (May 11): I first attended baseball games in Oakland in 1973 with my grandmother. In the intervening years, much has been written about why the Coliseum is an inferior site for the A’s. I cannot recall any sound reason why a new ballpark cannot be built adjacent to the existing facility. The graphic accompanying the latest story doesn’t even show the proposed waterfront ballpark oriented toward the waterfront.

Charles B. Johnson is simply
done with this whole mess.
The principal owner of the San Francisco Giants, an 88-year-old billionaire who lives in Florida, heard enough complaints about his propensity for donating to Republican extremists as was reportedby SFGATE last week that he deigned to make a couple of statements to the rest of us, the plebeians. He first opted for a Friday evening news dump, a time-honored public relations tradition where people who have no intention of reflecting on or apologizing for their actions submit an offensively bland note that roughly translates to: Some of you might be mad at me, but I don t actually care, and anyway you’re probably not going to read this because it’s the weekend.
