Many East Bay residents are justifiably proud of the athletes who grew up here. Some fans can rattle off the Hall of Famers in the major sports, including Bill Russell, Frank Robinson, Willie Stargell, Joe Morgan, Ricky Henderson, Gary Payton and Jason Kidd.
In almost every case, the families of these star athletes moved to the East Bay flats from southern states during or shortly after the Second World War, when defense jobs in Oakland and Richmond were plentiful. Segregation often kept Black families in those neighborhoods, even after California passed its fair housing law in 1963.
Not all of the East Bay’s notable athletes were Black Billy Martin, for example, who was white, attended Berkeley High School before signing with the fabled New York Yankees but the influx of African-American families to Oakland, Berkeley, El Cerrito and Richmond supercharged the local sports scene even as it transformed its politics.
Cubs historical sleuthing: A 1970s moment in time

Here we have a Cubs action photo, clearly from the 1970s or 1980s. A Cubs catcher is picking up a ball near the first base dugout.
When? What play was this?
My (and your) first clue is that this was sent to me by reader Raymond Ade, who also sent me the photos of the San Diego Chicken that I posted here last month. Those photos were from July 8, 1979, so I began with the assumption that they might be from the same season.
Interestingly, no one from the team the Cubs were playing that afternoon is visible in this photo. So I sent it to Mike Bojanowski to see if he could figure out what date this was from the teams on the scoreboard. The clock reads (approximately) 3:25 p.m. There’s no score listed on the Cubs line on the board (at that time the Cubs game was listed in the middle of the board), so we’re obviously looking at the second game of a doubleheader.

Dr. Anthony Fauci has called Boston Celtics legend Bob Cousy, a fellow Holy Cross alum, his “absolute hero.”
But did the nation’s top infectious disease expert help Cousy get a COVID-19 vaccine?
Or was it Sen. Joe Manchin, another high-profile friend of the 92-year-old basketball Hall of Famer? Or someone else?
Cousy says it’s a “mystery.”
At least, it was.
Palm Beach Post this week that officials in his hometown of Worcester reached out to him last month after hearing from “a little bird” that he had struggled to land a vaccine appointment, despite being eligible under the state’s rollout, which opened up eligibility to residents over the age of 75 on Feb 1.
