"content": "\u003cp>It was clear early on that Frank Robinson was going to be a star. When he tried out for an American Legion team at North Oakland’s Bushrod Park as a 15-year-old, he hit a home run in his first at bat.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“He was what we call a man-child athlete,” said Paul Brekke-Miesner, a local sports historian and author of “Home Field Advantage,” a book about \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/arts/13839115/on-fifty-years-of-the-oakland-as\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Oakland-bred athletes\u003c/a> like Robinson. “Certain players, their talent is just so head and shoulders above their competitors that they stand out. And Frank was one of those guys.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Robinson, who grew up in West Oakland and \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11724660/oakland-raised-former-giants-manager-and-baseball-pioneer-frank-robinson-dies-at-83\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">died\u003c/a> on Thursday at the age of 83, more than fulfilled that early potential. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He ranks 10th on the all-time home run list and is the only person to win baseball’s Most Valuable Player award in both leagues. On top of that, he was the first African-American manager in both leagues (including a four-year stint with the Giants in the early ’80s), a Hall of Famer and a \u003ca href=\"https://www.c-span.org/video/?189856-1/presidential-medal-freedom\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">recipient\u003c/a> of the Presidential Medal of Freedom.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But one could argue that he wasn’t even the best athlete in his high school class. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s a pretty incredible story,” Brekke-Miesner said. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It was the 1951-52 school year, and Robinson played baseball and basketball for McClymonds High School. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On the basketball team, he was joined by Bill Russell, almost universally regarded as one of the greatest basketball players in history. Russell won 11 NBA titles, five MVP awards and was the first African-American head coach in any U.S. professional sport. He also has \u003ca href=\"http://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/20821673/bill-russell-takes-knee-presidential-medal-freedom-twitter-photo\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">his own\u003c/a> Presidential Medal of Freedom.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And on the baseball team, Robinson shared the diamond with Curt Flood, one of the best center fielders of all time and the reason that professional athletes today can become free agents.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 1970, Flood — a three-time all-star and seven-time Gold Glove winner — challenged what was known as baseball’s \u003ca href=\"https://www.theatlantic.com/entertainment/archive/2011/07/how-curt-flood-changed-baseball-and-killed-his-career-in-the-process/241783/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">reserve clause\u003c/a>, which prevented a player from signing with another team even after their contract expired. The Supreme Court ruled against Flood in 1972, but his case pushed the conversation forward, and in 1975, baseball abolished the reserve clause.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11725246\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/02/Oakland_Tribune_Wed__Jun_4__1952_-1-800x1025.jpg\" alt=\"The June 4, 1952, issue of the Oakland Tribune touts the five McClymonds baseball players named to all-city team, including Frank Robinson, pictured standing in the back row.\" width=\"800\" height=\"1025\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11725246\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/02/Oakland_Tribune_Wed__Jun_4__1952_-1-800x1025.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/02/Oakland_Tribune_Wed__Jun_4__1952_-1-160x205.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/02/Oakland_Tribune_Wed__Jun_4__1952_-1-1020x1307.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/02/Oakland_Tribune_Wed__Jun_4__1952_-1-937x1200.jpg 937w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/02/Oakland_Tribune_Wed__Jun_4__1952_-1-1920x2459.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">The June 4, 1952, issue of the Oakland Tribune touts the five McClymonds baseball players named to all-city team, including Frank Robinson, pictured standing in the back row. \u003ccite>(Newspapers.com)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>“Imagine one high school year, one neighborhood that produced those three who went on to do incredible things in the world of sports,” Brekke-Miesner said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Robinson and Flood helped McClymonds go undefeated that year, and Robinson and Russell’s basketball team won the coveted Tournament of Champions, the de facto state championship.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>All three legends pointed to their coach at McClymonds, George Powles, as one of the greatest influences in their lives, both as athletes and human beings.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Powles was the first person Robinson thanked in his 1982 Hall of Fame induction speech.

On top of that, he was the first African-American manager in both leagues (including a four-year stint with the Giants in the early ’80s), a Hall of Famer and a \u003ca href=\"https://www.c-span.org/video/?189856-1/presidential-medal-freedom\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">recipient\u003c/a> of the Presidential Medal of Freedom.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But one could argue that he wasn’t even the best athlete in his high school class. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Russell won 11 NBA titles, five MVP awards and was the first African-American head coach in any U.S. professional sport.

He was the NL Most Valuable Player in 1961, the same year the Reds won the league pennant. But by 1965, despite hitting 33 home runs and driving in 113 runs, the team’s management considered him old and expendable.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Robinson responded to that judgment with a vengeance: In 1966, the year after he was traded to the American League’s Baltimore Orioles, he led the team to a World Series victory while winning the Triple Crown and the Most Valuable Player awards.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Frank took us from being a good team in 1965 to being a great team in 1966,” Hall of Fame pitcher Jim Palmer told the \u003ca href=\"https://www.baltimoresun.com/sports/orioles/bs-sp-frank-robinson-20190207-story.html\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Baltimore Sun\u003c/a>. “I’m glad Cincinnati thought he was ‘an old 30’ when they traded him.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the \u003ca href=\"https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/r/robinfr02.shtml\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">six years\u003c/a> Robinson spent as an Oriole, the team went to the World Series four times and won twice, in 1966 and 1970.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>ESPN’s Tim Kurkjian \u003ca href=\"http://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/8944321/no-one-tried-embarrass-frank-robinson-got-away-it\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">writes\u003c/a> that “Robinson is one of the most underrated superstar players ever to play the game.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\n\u003cp>“With that 1966 season, Robinson became the first — and remains the only — player to win the MVP in both leagues.

He won National League Rookie of the Year in 1956, hitting .290 with 38 home runs at age 20 for the Reds. And while he never led his league in a Triple Crown category other than in 1966 when he managed it in all three, he led his league in slugging percentage, OPS and OPS+ four times, including three years in a row (1960-62).

The school was more competitive in an eight-player league and there were fewer injuries. In past years, the school had to fold teams because of low numbers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Weed will again play in an 11-player league this fall in part because of a student enrollment hike that bumps it out of 8-player eligibility, Neel said, event though the varsity roster is projected to field only 13 players. But at least, he added, the school still has a program.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I thought we might in some respects have a chance to lose football at Weed High School,” Neel said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!-- iframe plugin v.4.3 wordpress.org/plugins/iframe/ -->\u003cbr>\n\u003ciframe loading=\"lazy\" id=\"datawrapper-chart-vaDaE\" src=\"//datawrapper.dwcdn.net/vaDaE/3/\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"0\" style=\"width: 0; min-width: 100% !important;\" height=\"400\" width=\"100%\" class=\"iframe-class\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And football lovers have gotten creative on other fronts.

Those regulations are similar to recent ones the state enacted for high school teams.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The California Youth Football Alliance came to me, they understand there are risks with playing football, and they asked that it be regulated,” Cooper said. “They want to make sure it’s safe for their children.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cooper said the bill represents a “good medium” for making the sport safer for the state’s youngest students. “It doesn’t have to be either or.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, the trend is what it is, with or without legislation, said McCarty.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Every month, another study surfaces outlining the risks of youth tackle football,” he noted. “Every month, another NFL legend speaks up and questions the wisdom of youth tackle football.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He added, “But more importantly, parents see the risks and are voting with their feet.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

The outline of the project \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11708964/oakland-as-plan-a-jewel-box-of-a-waterfront-ballpark\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">was announced late last year\u003c/a> — and it’s still in the planning stages.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The A’s have exclusive negotiating agreements for the Howard Terminal site owned by the Port of Oakland, as well as the Coliseum site jointly held by the city and Alameda County, but have not yet acquired the land.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And a newly released study by the Bay Area Council Economic Institute calculates the impact of one of the most memorable components of the Howard Terminal plan — an aerial tram, or gondola, that would whisk people from the heart of downtown Oakland near BART’s 12th Street Oakland City Center Station, over the freeway and train tracks, and deposit them at Jack London Square less than four minutes later. Study authors believe \u003ca href=\"http://www.bayareaeconomy.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/Gondola-1.24.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">this would increase economic activity in Oakland by $685 million in its first 10 years of operation\u003c/a>, based in part on the experience of a similar \u003ca href=\"http://www.gobytram.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">gondola system in Portland, Oregon\u003c/a>. About 16 percent of ballpark visitors are projected to use the tram to get there, but it would also be available to the general public.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Oakland A’s President Dave Kaval thinks the gondola could become a symbol of the city for more than baseball fans. “The tower itself could be a monument and a really distinctive feature of Oakland, the gondola itself, since they’re not as common in North America as they are in Europe and South America, could really be an attraction in the same way that when you go to San Francisco you ride the cable car,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The A’s would privately finance the system, estimated to cost $123 million. Kaval said they’re figuring out a fare structure that may include discounts for game day users and commuters.

It could be constructed concurrently with the stadium and be ready in time for Opening Day 2023. A later phase might extend the gondola to the island of Alameda.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The architect responsible for the entire project is Bjarke Ingels, whose company BIG — the \u003ca href=\"https://big.dk/#projects\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Bjarke Ingels Group — is based\u003c/a> in New York and his native Denmark. He’s also working on the \u003ca href=\"https://www.architecturaldigest.com/story/bjarke-ingels-group-google-campus-in-sunnyvale-california\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">new Google campus in Sunnyvale\u003c/a>. KQED’s Nina Thorsen spoke with Ingels and started by asking him how he would try to prevent the new ballpark he’s designing from feeling out of date in another 40 years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>This interview from Jan. 23, 2019, has been edited for brevity and clarity.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Bjarke Ingels:\u003c/strong> Well, I think actually there is only one way that you can make a building last forever, and that is to design it in such a way that it will remain relevant and loved by the people using it. I had an epiphany some years ago. I went to Kurdistan, in the north of Iraq, to the sort of cradle of civilization. I went into a village, and I went to a synagogue that was 2,575 years old. It was ruined. There were holes in the roof. It was raining. But I noticed that there was metalwork on the walls. It was rusting away. But it was still there. So I asked, when did they stop using this as a synagogue? And he said in the mid-1950s, because the state of Israel had opened, and all the Jews living in that village moved away.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So that means that the synagogue had been there for two-and-a-half thousand years, perfectly functioning, in a great state of repair, and then just in 50 years it turns into a ruin, because the moment it stopped being relevant to the community, it fell into ruin.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So I think in that sense, what we’re trying to do with the new master plan at the Howard Terminal is to create a ballpark that is not like a big giant elephant in a sea of parking, but actually the green heart, the accessible and open heart of a new community. And here, at the Coliseum site, we’re actually trying to preserve the history and the heritage. So we are actually leaving the lower tiers and the baseball field itself, almost as a Roman ruin, so that five years into the future we would probably be sitting in the middle of a 50-acre green park, with rolling hills that will open up the creeks that are right now piped underneath the parking lot, to become real water elements with green sloping sides.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then you’ll have this amphitheater, which are the old tiers of the park, looking at a baseball field, where the kids can run around and play in the park and play baseball on the same turf that their historical heroes were playing on a decade before. So in that sense, I think what we’re trying to do with a new site is really to make something that will remain relevant to the people of Oakland because it will be rooted in Oakland. And then also with this site (the Coliseum), to transform it into something that actually preserves and celebrates its past.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Nina Thorsen:\u003c/strong> One of the things you’re known for is thinking about sustainability not as a punishment, not as something you have to do because it’s good for you. And it sounds to me like a lot of aspects of this concept for both these sites have to do with trying to make sustainability that’s joyous?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ingels:\u003c/strong> Yeah, we’ve coined the term “hedonistic sustainability” to remind people that sustainable cities and buildings can actually be more enjoyable than the opposite. And I think the first time where I really learned that was actually our first project ever — 17 years ago we did the \u003ca href=\"https://www.archdaily.com/11216/copenhagen-harbour-bath-plot\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Copenhagen Harbour Bath\u003c/a>. The port of Copenhagen has become so clean that you can swim in it, so you don’t have to sit in your car for hours to get to the beach. You can jump in the port in the middle of the city. That means that a clean port is not only good for the fish, it’s actually amazing for the citizens of that city.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If you go to the Oakland Coliseum site today, you could think that the “park” in ballpark means “park-ing,” because it’s really a sea of asphalt, as far as you can see from where we’re sitting here. When you go to the ballpark at the Howard Terminal in the future, you’ll actually be able to see the baseball field itself, the turf. But also the entire perimeter of the ballpark is literally going to be a park where on non-game days everybody’s invited to walk and enjoy the greenery, the cafes, the restaurants and the view of the surrounding neighborhood. So in that sense literally bringing the park back in ballpark.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Thorsen:\u003c/strong> Both here at the Coliseum and at Howard Terminal we’re dealing with waterfront. We’re dealing with the challenges of sea-level rise and climate change, and also more particularly at Howard Terminal there’s a lot of potential groundwater contamination. It’s been an industrial site, it’s near the old Army base. How is your design addressing these issues and trying to work to remediate things?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ingels:\u003c/strong> Well, specifically, at the Coliseum site we are creating what we call resilient park landscapes, reusing some of the demolition of the upper tiers of the Oakland A’s stadium, as well as some of the excavation that necessarily goes into a project like this to actually create hills — rolling hills — landscapes to elevate the ground to above the 100-year storm levels, which is roughly 7 meters, more than 20 feet. At the Howard Terminal, we’re going to conduct much more specific investigations of the ground and the water conditions. But our experience is actually that, for instance in Copenhagen, just by making investments in water drainage, instead of just letting all the water wash from the docks into the harbor, but to take it into the sewage system instead.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In less than a decade, suddenly the water became so clean that you could swim in it. And in a similar way, I feel fairly confident the transformation of Howard Terminal will help accelerate the cleanliness of the Port of Oakland probably in the near future to make it enjoyable and even swimmable.\u003c/p>\n\n",

"content": "\u003cp>A diver in California has stumbled on an unexpected source of plastic waste in the ocean: golf balls. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As the balls degrade, they can emit toxic chemicals. And there appear to be lots of them in certain places underwater — right next to coastal golf courses. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Two years ago, a 16-year old diver named Alex Weber was swimming off Pebble Beach along the Pacific near Carmel, Calif. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“My dad raised me underwater,” says Weber, and she means it. She’s a free diver: no scuba tanks; she just holds her breath. She was diving in a small cove and looked down and saw something weird. “You couldn’t see the sand,” she recalls, still sounding incredulous. “It was completely white.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>White with golf balls. “You looked down and you’re like, ‘What are you doing here?’ ”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There were thousands of them. “It felt like a shot to the heart,” she says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She was offended. Right then, she decided to haul them up. Thus began a Sisyphean task that went on for months: She and her father would haul hundreds of pounds of them up, and then of course more golfers would hit more into the ocean.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She took what she and her father collected back home. “I had all of these golf balls in the garage,” she says. “And they stank.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then she heard about a Stanford University scientist, \u003ca href=\"https://matthewsavocaecology.weebly.com/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Matt Savoca\u003c/a>, who studied plastic waste in the ocean. She emailed him, and he came to look at her collection.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Fifty thousand golf balls, just sitting in the garage,” she says. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Savoca was impressed. Weber recalls that he turned to her and said, ” ‘You should write a paper about this,’ and I was like, ‘Matt, I’m 16 years old. I don’t know how to write a scientific paper!’ ”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He said he would help, which meant diving with her. Not easy. “The oceans off California are actually quite cold, so you suit up in a pretty thick wetsuit,” he says. “It’s incredibly physically demanding.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They took kayaks out to ferry the golf balls back. “Once you recover many, many golf balls, you put them on the kayak,” he explains. Adds Weber: “We’ll have the kayaks so filled with plastic that we’ll end up just having to tow the kayaks — we’ll have to swim (them) to shore.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There are sharks in the water there, but Savoca says that wasn’t the real threat. “When we were out there,” he says, “We’d hear, ‘plink, plink,’ and we’d look up on the hill and there’d be golf balls flying in off the course right into the ocean where we were doing collections.” \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Despite the aerial barrage, they kept at it, says Weber. “Whenever we had good conditions, we were able to pull out between, like, 500 to 5,000 golf balls,” she says. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Over two years, they found more than 50,000 golf balls. The source: five golf courses. Two along the coastline, and three up the Carmel River — those golf balls rolled underwater down the river to the ocean.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the journal \u003cem>Marine Pollution Bulletin,\u003c/em> the team notes that golf balls are coated with a thin polyurethane shell that degrades over time. They also contain zinc compounds that are toxic. Savoca points out that the surf and currents act like a rock grinder and break down the golf balls. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While chemicals from 50,000 or so golf balls will have only a small effect on the ocean, Savoca says they do degrade into \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/sections/thesalt/2018/08/20/636845604/beer-drinking-water-and-fish-tiny-plastic-is-everywhere\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">microplastic pieces\u003c/a> that marine animals could eat. The team also notes that there are lots of coastal golf courses around the world, so this may go beyond California. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Alex Weber, now 18 and a published author in a scientific journal, plans to apply to university to study marine science. In the meantime, she is still collecting, and keeping up her\u003ca href=\"https://www.theplasticpick-up.org\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"> website\u003c/a>. She says it is too bad the golf balls sink. If they floated, people would be shocked and outraged. “If a person could see what we see underwater,” she says, “it would not be acceptable.”\u003c/p>\n\n",

And there appear to be lots of them in certain places underwater — right next to coastal golf courses. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Two years ago, a 16-year old diver named Alex Weber was swimming off Pebble Beach along the Pacific near Carmel, Calif. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“My dad raised me underwater,” says Weber, and she means it. She’s a free diver: no scuba tanks; she just holds her breath. She was diving in a small cove and looked down and saw something weird. “You couldn’t see the sand,” she recalls, still sounding incredulous. “It was completely white.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>White with golf balls. “You looked down and you’re like, ‘What are you doing here?’ ”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Right then, she decided to haul them up. Thus began a Sisyphean task that went on for months: She and her father would haul hundreds of pounds of them up, and then of course more golfers would hit more into the ocean.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She took what she and her father collected back home. “I had all of these golf balls in the garage,” she says. “And they stank.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then she heard about a Stanford University scientist, \u003ca href=\"https://matthewsavocaecology.weebly.com/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Matt Savoca\u003c/a>, who studied plastic waste in the ocean. She emailed him, and he came to look at her collection.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Fifty thousand golf balls, just sitting in the garage,” she says. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Savoca was impressed. Weber recalls that he turned to her and said, ” ‘You should write a paper about this,’ and I was like, ‘Matt, I’m 16 years old. I don’t know how to write a scientific paper!’ ”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He said he would help, which meant diving with her. Not easy. “The oceans off California are actually quite cold, so you suit up in a pretty thick wetsuit,” he says. “It’s incredibly physically demanding.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They took kayaks out to ferry the golf balls back. “Once you recover many, many golf balls, you put them on the kayak,” he explains. Adds Weber: “We’ll have the kayaks so filled with plastic that we’ll end up just having to tow the kayaks — we’ll have to swim (them) to shore.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There are sharks in the water there, but Savoca says that wasn’t the real threat. “When we were out there,” he says, “We’d hear, ‘plink, plink,’ and we’d look up on the hill and there’d be golf balls flying in off the course right into the ocean where we were doing collections.” \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Despite the aerial barrage, they kept at it, says Weber. “Whenever we had good conditions, we were able to pull out between, like, 500 to 5,000 golf balls,” she says. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Over two years, they found more than 50,000 golf balls. The source: five golf courses. Two along the coastline, and three up the Carmel River — those golf balls rolled underwater down the river to the ocean.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the journal \u003cem>Marine Pollution Bulletin,\u003c/em> the team notes that golf balls are coated with a thin polyurethane shell that degrades over time. They also contain zinc compounds that are toxic. Savoca points out that the surf and currents act like a rock grinder and break down the golf balls. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While chemicals from 50,000 or so golf balls will have only a small effect on the ocean, Savoca says they do degrade into \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/sections/thesalt/2018/08/20/636845604/beer-drinking-water-and-fish-tiny-plastic-is-everywhere\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">microplastic pieces\u003c/a> that marine animals could eat. The team also notes that there are lots of coastal golf courses around the world, so this may go beyond California. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Alex Weber, now 18 and a published author in a scientific journal, plans to apply to university to study marine science. In the meantime, she is still collecting, and keeping up her\u003ca href=\"https://www.theplasticpick-up.org\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"> website\u003c/a>. She says it is too bad the golf balls sink. If they floated, people would be shocked and outraged. “If a person could see what we see underwater,” she says, “it would not be acceptable.”\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

He was 62.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sherwen's voice became almost inextricable from the Tour de France and other major cycling events after a stellar career as a competitor. He rode in the Tour seven times during the 1970s and 1980s and finished five times. He won two British road-racing championships. But he was best known for his 33 years describing the world's most famous and grueling cycling competition. His partner for most of those July marathons was a fellow Briton, Phil Liggett.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I went to bed in Africa with a heavy heart last night feeling sadness like never before,\" Liggett wrote on Twitter. \"My team mate for 33 years was no longer with me.
