I’m also passionate about making Bay Area history and culture more accessible to a broad public. • I’ve been a journalist for most of my life, starting in high school with The Franklin Press in Los Angeles, where I grew up. While earning my first degree in English at UC Berkeley, I got my start in public radio at KALX-FM. After completing a second degree in journalism at Cal, I landed my first professional job at Marketplace, then moved on to KPCC (now LAist), and then KQED, where I hosted The California Report for more than seven years. • My reporting has appeared on NPR, The World, WBUR’s \u003ci>Here & Now\u003c/i>, and the BBC. I also guest host for KQED’s \u003ci>Forum\u003c/i>, as well as the Commonwealth Club in San Francisco. • I speak periodically on media, democracy and technology issues, and do voiceover work for documentaries and educational video projects. • Outside of the studio, you'll find me hiking Bay Area trails and whipping up Insta-ready meals in my kitchen. • I do not accept gifts, money, or favors from anyone connected to my reporting, I don't pay people for information, and I do not support or donate to political causes. • I strive to treat the people I report on with fairness, honesty, and respect. I also recognize there are often multiple sides to a story and work to verify information through multiple sources and documentation. If I get something wrong, I correct it.",

His work has appeared on Newsweek.com, Slate.com, CBSNews.com, MotherJones.com, DailyKos.com and NPR’s web site. Fiore’s political animation has appeared on CNN, Frontline, Bill Moyers Journal, Salon.com and cable and broadcast outlets across the globe.\r\n\r\nBeginning his professional life by drawing traditional political cartoons for newspapers, Fiore’s work appeared in publications ranging from the Washington Post to the Los Angeles Times.

It was this combination that shaped him politically. Mark majored in political science at Colorado College, where, in a perfect send-off for a cartoonist, he received his diploma in 1991 as commencement speaker Dick Cheney smiled approvingly.\r\nMark Fiore was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for political cartooning in 2010, a Robert F. Kennedy Journalism Award in 2004 and has twice received an Online Journalism Award for commentary from the Online News Association (2002, 2008).

"content": "\u003cp>The Oakland A’s are proposing an ambitious plan for a new waterfront ballpark just north of Jack London Square. It would include an intimate stadium surrounded by high-rise buildings, and a gondola from the downtown Oakland BART station that would shuttle fans over the I-880 freeway. The team is also proposing to re-develop the Coliseum site in East Oakland. KQED’s Tara Siler and Nina Thorsen discussed the announcement, which was made Wednesday at the A’s headquarters and at \u003ca href=\"http://www.oaklandballpark.com\">www.oaklandballpark.com\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Tara Siler:\u003c/strong> Describe what this stadium would look like — they’re calling it a “jewel box” — what does that mean?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Nina Thorsen:\u003c/strong> Well, it’s small — 34,000 seats. That’s much smaller than the Coliseum, smaller than the Giants’ AT&T Park, in fact it would be one of the smallest in Major League Baseball. It’s intimate, as you said — all the seats are close to the field, it doesn’t have the big foul territory or the high upper deck of the Coliseum. It’s a very contemporary design. It’s nothing like the retro brick ballparks such as AT&T that have been fashionable for the last 20 years, although there is a subtle homage to the Athletics’ original home in Philadelphia, Shibe Park. There are some neat features like a “harbor bath” — a swimming pool just outside the ballpark — and a green roof perimeter, so you’d be able to walk in a park-like area all the way around the roof level of the stadium. Some of the iconic Port of Oakland cranes that are on the site now would be incorporated into the design. And there’d be some terraced areas where fans without tickets would still be able to look into the ballpark from outside, sort of like the rooftops that overlook Wrigley Field in Chicago. The idea is it would be a destination and a public space, even when there isn’t a game happening.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Siler:\u003c/strong> What are the A’s saying about this idea for a gondola — how is that going to work?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Thorsen:\u003c/strong> The gondola is one solution to the problem of how to get people from BART down to Jack London Square and the ballpark, because there’s a freeway and railroad tracks in the way. So this would be an aerial tram that would go from downtown, over the freeway and the tracks, and possibly terminate at one of the port cranes that are being incorporated into the stadium design. But my sense is the gondola isn’t a make-or-break aspect of the design. If it doesn’t work out, or even if it does, there will be other transit alternatives. But this is definitely going to be a transit-first ballpark, not like the Coliseum surrounded by surface parking lots. The A’s say there are more than 10,000 parking spaces within walking distance of the stadium already, but relatively few will be built as part of the ballpark development.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Siler:\u003c/strong> How real is this proposal? The A’s have floated several stadium ideas over the years, and the last one, near Laney College, was shot down almost immediately.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Thorsen:\u003c/strong> It seems very real — time will tell, and of course there are a lot of things that could crop up in the course of the environmental impact report and the design process. But what’s different this time is that the major players were all at the table for this press conference. Literally at the table — team President Dave Kaval, Oakland Mayor Libby Schaaf, president of the Alameda County Board of Supervisors, Nate Miley, president of the Oakland City Council, Larry Reid, and president of the Board of Commissioners for the Port of Oakland, Ces Butner. So they’ve all signed on to the concept.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A lot of details remain to be fleshed out — for example, would the A’s buy out Alameda County’s share of the Coliseum property, or would the city buy the county out and lease the property back to the A’s? But Mayor Schaaf said the relationship between the city and the team is closer than it has ever been. “It’s like we’re dating exclusively,” she said. “We’re not looking anywhere else. We’re in a courtship right now.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Siler:\u003c/strong> So if this relationship works out — how much is this project going to cost?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Thorsen:\u003c/strong> The A’s are not saying yet. There are too many variables for them to have a firm figure. But they have committed repeatedly to the position that all of the ballpark and the Coliseum redesign will be privately funded by the A’s and their development partners. Taxpayers would not be contributing anything to the project directly.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Siler:\u003c/strong> And what would be the vision for the Coliseum property — because there was also talk about rebuilding a stadium on that site?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Thorsen:\u003c/strong> The idea is adaptive reuse, keeping the footprint of the current Coliseum baseball diamond itself, taking down the ballpark around it, so it would become a place for youth and community baseball. The rendering shows an area of outdoor amphitheater seating around it, so it could be used for different community events and gatherings. They envision keeping Oracle Arena where it is and revamping it for concerts and public gatherings. The A’s Kaval said that in the neighborhood meetings that the team has hosted along with councilmember Larry Reid, who represents East Oakland, people repeatedly said they didn’t want a Wal-Mart or something like that to stand on the ground where the Raiders and A’s and Warriors have celebrated so many championships. “We heard from so many people in East Oakland,” Kaval said, “that people want to have pride in what’s at the Coliseum site — ballpark or no ballpark.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That said, there would be commercial development on the greater part of the Coliseum site beyond the current ballpark — it’s part of how the team would expect to finance the ballpark operations. The plan shows housing, both affordable and market-rate, office, retail and a tech campus. But there would also be a lot of green space that, in part, is intended to help insulate other parts of East Oakland from the effects of rising sea levels.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Siler:\u003c/strong> What’s the next step in the process to getting this stadium built?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Thorsen:\u003c/strong> On Friday, the A’s will start the CEQA [California Environmental Quality Act] process, which will take a year even in its expedited form — it was fast-tracked by a bill passed by the Legislature a few months ago. And while that environmental impact process goes on, they will work out the details of financing and ownership with the city, the county and the port, and work on the details of the design. If all goes well, they hope to have the new stadium ready to move in for Opening Day 2023. The A’s will continue to play at the Coliseum until then, so the major components of that reuse plan would have to wait, but Kaval said they might start some parts earlier if it doesn’t impact stadium operations or parking.\u003c/p>\n\n",

KQED’s Tara Siler and Nina Thorsen discussed the announcement, which was made Wednesday at the A’s headquarters and at \u003ca href=\"http://www.oaklandballpark.com\">www.oaklandballpark.com\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Tara Siler:\u003c/strong> Describe what this stadium would look like — they’re calling it a “jewel box” — what does that mean?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Nina Thorsen:\u003c/strong> Well, it’s small — 34,000 seats. That’s much smaller than the Coliseum, smaller than the Giants’ AT&T Park, in fact it would be one of the smallest in Major League Baseball. It’s intimate, as you said — all the seats are close to the field, it doesn’t have the big foul territory or the high upper deck of the Coliseum. It’s a very contemporary design. It’s nothing like the retro brick ballparks such as AT&T that have been fashionable for the last 20 years, although there is a subtle homage to the Athletics’ original home in Philadelphia, Shibe Park. There are some neat features like a “harbor bath” — a swimming pool just outside the ballpark — and a green roof perimeter, so you’d be able to walk in a park-like area all the way around the roof level of the stadium. Some of the iconic Port of Oakland cranes that are on the site now would be incorporated into the design. And there’d be some terraced areas where fans without tickets would still be able to look into the ballpark from outside, sort of like the rooftops that overlook Wrigley Field in Chicago. The idea is it would be a destination and a public space, even when there isn’t a game happening.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Siler:\u003c/strong> What are the A’s saying about this idea for a gondola — how is that going to work?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Thorsen:\u003c/strong> The gondola is one solution to the problem of how to get people from BART down to Jack London Square and the ballpark, because there’s a freeway and railroad tracks in the way. So this would be an aerial tram that would go from downtown, over the freeway and the tracks, and possibly terminate at one of the port cranes that are being incorporated into the stadium design. But my sense is the gondola isn’t a make-or-break aspect of the design. If it doesn’t work out, or even if it does, there will be other transit alternatives. But this is definitely going to be a transit-first ballpark, not like the Coliseum surrounded by surface parking lots. The A’s say there are more than 10,000 parking spaces within walking distance of the stadium already, but relatively few will be built as part of the ballpark development.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

The A’s have floated several stadium ideas over the years, and the last one, near Laney College, was shot down almost immediately.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Thorsen:\u003c/strong> It seems very real — time will tell, and of course there are a lot of things that could crop up in the course of the environmental impact report and the design process. But what’s different this time is that the major players were all at the table for this press conference. Literally at the table — team President Dave Kaval, Oakland Mayor Libby Schaaf, president of the Alameda County Board of Supervisors, Nate Miley, president of the Oakland City Council, Larry Reid, and president of the Board of Commissioners for the Port of Oakland, Ces Butner. So they’ve all signed on to the concept.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A lot of details remain to be fleshed out — for example, would the A’s buy out Alameda County’s share of the Coliseum property, or would the city buy the county out and lease the property back to the A’s? But Mayor Schaaf said the relationship between the city and the team is closer than it has ever been. “It’s like we’re dating exclusively,” she said. “We’re not looking anywhere else. We’re in a courtship right now.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Siler:\u003c/strong> So if this relationship works out — how much is this project going to cost?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Thorsen:\u003c/strong> The A’s are not saying yet. There are too many variables for them to have a firm figure. But they have committed repeatedly to the position that all of the ballpark and the Coliseum redesign will be privately funded by the A’s and their development partners. Taxpayers would not be contributing anything to the project directly.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Siler:\u003c/strong> And what would be the vision for the Coliseum property — because there was also talk about rebuilding a stadium on that site?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Thorsen:\u003c/strong> The idea is adaptive reuse, keeping the footprint of the current Coliseum baseball diamond itself, taking down the ballpark around it, so it would become a place for youth and community baseball. The rendering shows an area of outdoor amphitheater seating around it, so it could be used for different community events and gatherings. They envision keeping Oracle Arena where it is and revamping it for concerts and public gatherings. The A’s Kaval said that in the neighborhood meetings that the team has hosted along with councilmember Larry Reid, who represents East Oakland, people repeatedly said they didn’t want a Wal-Mart or something like that to stand on the ground where the Raiders and A’s and Warriors have celebrated so many championships. “We heard from so many people in East Oakland,” Kaval said, “that people want to have pride in what’s at the Coliseum site — ballpark or no ballpark.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That said, there would be commercial development on the greater part of the Coliseum site beyond the current ballpark — it’s part of how the team would expect to finance the ballpark operations. The plan shows housing, both affordable and market-rate, office, retail and a tech campus. But there would also be a lot of green space that, in part, is intended to help insulate other parts of East Oakland from the effects of rising sea levels.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Siler:\u003c/strong> What’s the next step in the process to getting this stadium built?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

And while that environmental impact process goes on, they will work out the details of financing and ownership with the city, the county and the port, and work on the details of the design. If all goes well, they hope to have the new stadium ready to move in for Opening Day 2023. The A’s will continue to play at the Coliseum until then, so the major components of that reuse plan would have to wait, but Kaval said they might start some parts earlier if it doesn’t impact stadium operations or parking.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

In 1984, Smith and Carlos became emissaries for the Summer Olympics in Los Angeles. They were inducted into the U.S. Track and Field Hall of Fame.

We didn’t give the finger. We didn’t wrap the flag around our head or tie it up like a diaper. We didn’t stand there with disrespect. We stood there to say, ‘Hey man, I’m America. I’m your son and I’m wounded. I’m not wounded for me, because I’m one of your heroes. I’m in the Olympics. But I’m wounded for the race.’ […] That’s why we went to Mexico City.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11699653\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11699653\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/10/RS33278_TommieCarlos_Sculpture_EPE0461-qut-800x533.jpg\" alt=\"John Carlos and Tommie Smith stand in front of the statue memorializing their iconic Olympic moment on the San Jose State University campus.\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/10/RS33278_TommieCarlos_Sculpture_EPE0461-qut-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/10/RS33278_TommieCarlos_Sculpture_EPE0461-qut-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/10/RS33278_TommieCarlos_Sculpture_EPE0461-qut-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/10/RS33278_TommieCarlos_Sculpture_EPE0461-qut-1200x800.jpg 1200w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/10/RS33278_TommieCarlos_Sculpture_EPE0461-qut.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/10/RS33278_TommieCarlos_Sculpture_EPE0461-qut-1180x787.jpg 1180w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/10/RS33278_TommieCarlos_Sculpture_EPE0461-qut-960x640.jpg 960w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/10/RS33278_TommieCarlos_Sculpture_EPE0461-qut-240x160.jpg 240w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/10/RS33278_TommieCarlos_Sculpture_EPE0461-qut-375x250.jpg 375w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/10/RS33278_TommieCarlos_Sculpture_EPE0461-qut-520x347.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">John Carlos and Tommie Smith stand in front of the statue memorializing their iconic Olympic moment on the San Jose State University campus. \u003ccite>(Photo: Courtesy of Josie Lepe/San Jose State University )\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>He added, “I didn’t choose to be the guy in Mexico City.

This year is going to be really, really memorable and I think we have an extreme opportunity to create a dope story around the last year in Oakland.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I doubt longtime East Bay fans think their team’s move to San Francisco is \u003cem>dope\u003c/em>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Speaking in June after the team’s championship parade in Oakland, third-generation Oaklander and diehard Warriors fan, Lukas Brekke-Miesner \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11674546/they-bounce-the-ball-in-oakland-warriors-win-3-in-the-town\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">spoke to KQED’s The Bay podcast\u003c/a>, echoing a common theme among East Bay fans.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When the Warriors move to San Francisco, I don’t think I’ll ever go to a game. … I think my days of being a diehard fan are gone. I know even if I wanted to be a diehard, I know I wont be able to afford a ticket in that arena,” Brekke-Miesner said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Players and coaches do seem like they’ll miss playing in Oakland, too.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“That’s one of the things Steve [Kerr] talked about in our first meeting as a team this year, was our love for Oakland and the fans,” Klay Thompson \u003ca href=\"http://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/24983592/warriors-want-win-one-more-title-oakland-move\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">said after Sunday’s practice\u003c/a>. “I look at the pictures on the wall, I see the parades. Just driving around town seeing how happy people are, it gives me, gives us, motivation to keep going.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The new arena’s going to be amazing, and we’re all excited about that, but we’re all bummed to be moving on from Oracle,” Kerr said, calling the move “bittersweet.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While attendance numbers and TV ratings will likely remain at astronomical levels, the Warriors’ last year in Oakland symbolizes the changing Bay Area. This is not the hapless Tim Hardaway/Chris Mullin Warriors, or the gritty, surprising “We Believe” team of 2006-07. They now represent the moneyed, tech elite.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

No super-fan with child named after Billy Beane; no old-timer with a Rickey Henderson rookie card displayed over the mantel.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hey, am I an A’s fan, or am I an A’s fan?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>No, I am not an A’s fan.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then why am I going to be living and dying with every pitch Wednesday?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lemme tell ya a story …\u003c/p>\n\u003chr>\n\u003cp>New York City.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>October.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>October, \u003ci>2001\u003c/i>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Couldn’t have been more than 20 people on the flight over from San Francisco, and despite the poor turnout, you’ve never seen so many \u003cem>weather eyes\u003c/em> cast up and down the aisle. My parents live in downtown Manhattan, just a medium walk away from the \u003cem>thing\u003c/em> itself. Invisible plumes of \u003cem>whatever\u003c/em> — you try not to think about it — snake their way through city streets, waft along the avenues, keep you company on cab rides. Inevitably, they find their way to your nostrils, and you get a nice big whiff of hell.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Each time I wade out into that acrid soup, I look up and south. You know, maybe catch a glimpse of some smoking ruins or something. But there \u003cem>aren’t\u003c/em> any smoking ruins, because somebody has Photoshopped the skyline.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So the city got its two front teeth knocked out, and a lot of people are dead. My dad says we gotta visit my grandfather, up on 86th and First. So we cab it, along with my uncle. Don’t mention \u003cem>what happened\u003c/em>, my dad says. Sure, I think. I mean, the old man, what is he, 91, 92? Lived through two world wars, the Great Depression, and the genuine possibility of nuclear annihilation. Enough already, yes?\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignright\">My family, of course, hates the Yankees. Not just hates. \u003cstrong>Hates, despises, loathes.\u003c/strong>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>How I’m gonna get through this visit, I don’t know. But thank god for baseball.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In matters of war and peace, there’s not much intergenerational accord in our clan. But at least we agree on one thing. This here’s a \u003cem>National League\u003c/em> family. That unbroken line of devotion, from my grandfather’s New York Giants to his sons’ Giants \u003cem>and\u003c/em> Dodgers (\u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3T0drh8i4Tw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">1951\u003c/a> was brutal according to family lore) to the entire family’s last, best hope in the form of the New York Mets (please, don’t get me started).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This legacy, passed down from father to son, then repeat, has always provided the nearest thing to a bond among the remaining living branches on our family tree.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And soon, we will have the World Series. This year, in 2001, the Senior Circuit will offer up the Arizona Diamondbacks as annual sacrifice to that hungry behemoth of the opposing league.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>My family, of course, hates the Yankees. Not just hates. \u003cem>Hates, despises, loathes\u003c/em>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Why? As a kid, I once put the question to my father, who looked at me like I’d asked why we don’t have candy for breakfast.

But the Yankees’ renaissance during my 1970s childhood only seemed to prove him correct.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Back then, Yankee owner George Steinbrenner was stockpiling superstars, while my Mets felt it fiscally prudent to divest themselves of anyone who might help them, you know, \u003cem>win\u003c/em>. Because my 12-year-old’s interpretation of how the world worked included loserdom by association with your favorite team, my resentment of the Yankees grew. (One of my least cherished memories is attending as a fifth columnist the 1976 Yankees-Royals playoff game at which Chris Chambliss hit a \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AS6HGwoRrkY\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">walk-off home run\u003c/a> to send New York to the World Series. While my 55,000 ecstatic city brethren whooped it up, I sat stonefaced, dissociating among the handslaps and hugs.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And now — this is 2001 — we were in the midst of another Yankee run. The team had won three straight championships, the last over the Mets. The fear among the greater community of Yankee haters was that this juggernaut would never \u003cem>lose\u003c/em> again. Not only did they have the best team, the best manager and the most money, they also had, so it is said, something called “\u003ca href=\"https://www.google.com/search?q=%22yankee+mystique\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Yankee mystique\u003c/a>.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What that is, I can’t quite articulate, but with all due respect to rationality, it must be feared. Why? Because 27 World Series wins say so.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sometimes, like an avenging angel, Yankee mystique swoops down upon opposing players (\u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/2005/07/15/sports/baseball/mickey-owen-dies-at-89-allowed-fateful-passed-ball.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Mickey Owen\u003c/a>, \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w-35ghwAw90&ab_channel=MLB\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Pedro Martinez\u003c/a>) and sometimes, as Guardian of the Realm, it bestows swift shots of grace upon the Yankees themselves.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That fall, A’s fans saw the phenomenon firsthand in the avatar of \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ApoJk9X7Vto&ab_channel=MLB\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Derek Jeter\u003c/a>:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ApoJk9X7Vto&ab_channel=MLB\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For me, Yankee mystique manifests as a creeping foreboding, that no matter what the situation on the scoreboard or the standings, the Yankees will eventually humiliate whoever’s in their way — and their little fans, too.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Should their power lie dormant an inning, a season, a decade, those in the know understand, their power can be contained but never destroyed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That terrible October, 17 years ago, my grandfather had lived through the entirety of the Yankees’ 80-year hegemony. He knew the scope of the problem as well as anyone, and I wanted to hear him voice it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The World Series is coming up, ” I say to him. “Diamondbacks-Yankees …”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He hasn’t uttered 10 words all visit — he is not going to live much longer, and in fact, this is the last time I will see him.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He nods.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’m rooting for the Yankees,” he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I blink. My uncle gasps. My father, head hater of us all, wrinkles his face as if trying to screw it off.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The New York team,” my grandfather calmly explains. “I’m rooting for the New York team…”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And \u003cem>that’s\u003c/em> when it hit me.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sept. 11.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It changed \u003cem>everything\u003c/em>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>My grandfather’s confession had scandalized his offspring. After the visit, on the elevator down, my uncle puts it into perspective in the most tasteless way possible:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I wouldn’t root for the Yankees if they were playing the Berlin Nazis.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So there you have it. Hey, listen, I’m not glowing with pride here. The Yankees lost that World Series, and, as always, I rooted against them — hard. Even in that time of great crisis, with my disfigured, traumatized hometown in dire need of a victory, I could not rise above my own petty feud with the team.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here in 2018, I understand my grandfather had it right. I mean, this sort of unrestrained \u003ci>tribalism\u003c/i> — haven’t we used it, perhaps, as trial run for the more consequential divisions in our current politics?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But maybe you have to be as old as my grandfather to finally understand that. Or maybe the Greatest Generation couldn’t help but do what times demand. Or maybe he was just a better man than I.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Because basically, I remain an unreconstructed Yankee hater. Call it habit, call it stubbornness. Though it’s no way to live, I continue to view any Yankee resurgence like a harbinger of the coming collapse of Western civilization, even while \u003cem>genuine\u003c/em> harbingers render the notion ridiculous.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So what can I do, but lean into it? While it’s been nine years since the team has prevailed, one must stay vigilant, mustn’t one? While this year’s mighty Red Sox have made a perfectly terrific Yankee season look like second prize in a beauty contest, the Yankees have closed out the season by taking 3 of 4 from their archrivals.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Once again, I feel that the barbarians are at the gate, and the enemy of my enemy is my friend.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I want to stop hating the Yankees, but I just can’t.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>C’mon, A’s! We need to nip this thing in the bud.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n",

Because 27 World Series wins say so.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sometimes, like an avenging angel, Yankee mystique swoops down upon opposing players (\u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/2005/07/15/sports/baseball/mickey-owen-dies-at-89-allowed-fateful-passed-ball.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Mickey Owen\u003c/a>, \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w-35ghwAw90&ab_channel=MLB\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Pedro Martinez\u003c/a>) and sometimes, as Guardian of the Realm, it bestows swift shots of grace upon the Yankees themselves.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That fall, A’s fans saw the phenomenon firsthand in the avatar of \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ApoJk9X7Vto&ab_channel=MLB\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Derek Jeter\u003c/a>:\u003c/p>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutube'>\n \u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutubeInside'>\n \u003ciframe\n loading='lazy'\n class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__youtubePlayer'\n type='text/html'\n src='//www.youtube.com/embed/ApoJk9X7Vto'\n title='//www.youtube.com/embed/ApoJk9X7Vto'\n allowfullscreen='true'\n style='border:0;'>\u003c/iframe>\n \u003c/span>\n \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cp>For me, Yankee mystique manifests as a creeping foreboding, that no matter what the situation on the scoreboard or the standings, the Yankees will eventually humiliate whoever’s in their way — and their little fans, too.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Should their power lie dormant an inning, a season, a decade, those in the know understand, their power can be contained but never destroyed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That terrible October, 17 years ago, my grandfather had lived through the entirety of the Yankees’ 80-year hegemony. He knew the scope of the problem as well as anyone, and I wanted to hear him voice it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The World Series is coming up, ” I say to him. “Diamondbacks-Yankees …”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He hasn’t uttered 10 words all visit — he is not going to live much longer, and in fact, this is the last time I will see him.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He nods.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’m rooting for the Yankees,” he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I blink. My uncle gasps. My father, head hater of us all, wrinkles his face as if trying to screw it off.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The New York team,” my grandfather calmly explains. “I’m rooting for the New York team…”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And \u003cem>that’s\u003c/em> when it hit me.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sept. 11.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It changed \u003cem>everything\u003c/em>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>My grandfather’s confession had scandalized his offspring. After the visit, on the elevator down, my uncle puts it into perspective in the most tasteless way possible:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I wouldn’t root for the Yankees if they were playing the Berlin Nazis.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So there you have it. Hey, listen, I’m not glowing with pride here. The Yankees lost that World Series, and, as always, I rooted against them — hard. Even in that time of great crisis, with my disfigured, traumatized hometown in dire need of a victory, I could not rise above my own petty feud with the team.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here in 2018, I understand my grandfather had it right. I mean, this sort of unrestrained \u003ci>tribalism\u003c/i> — haven’t we used it, perhaps, as trial run for the more consequential divisions in our current politics?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But maybe you have to be as old as my grandfather to finally understand that. Or maybe the Greatest Generation couldn’t help but do what times demand. Or maybe he was just a better man than I.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Because basically, I remain an unreconstructed Yankee hater. Call it habit, call it stubbornness. Though it’s no way to live, I continue to view any Yankee resurgence like a harbinger of the coming collapse of Western civilization, even while \u003cem>genuine\u003c/em> harbingers render the notion ridiculous.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So what can I do, but lean into it? While it’s been nine years since the team has prevailed, one must stay vigilant, mustn’t one? While this year’s mighty Red Sox have made a perfectly terrific Yankee season look like second prize in a beauty contest, the Yankees have closed out the season by taking 3 of 4 from their archrivals.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Once again, I feel that the barbarians are at the gate, and the enemy of my enemy is my friend.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I want to stop hating the Yankees, but I just can’t.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>C’mon, A’s! We need to nip this thing in the bud.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

It's also the one that's closest to the stands and closest to the crowds of people,\" says Alice Woelfle, program director at KZYX, Mendocino County’s small public radio station, and a sheep rancher herself. \"The crowds of people definitely affect the behavior of the dogs and the sheep.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>KZYX broadcasts the sheepdog trials live every year, with sports commentary from Woelfle and Kevin Owens, who is a multiple-year winner of the Mendocino sheepdog trials.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11693980\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-11693980\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/09/RS32842_091618_AW_Sheepdog_05-qut-800x533.jpg\" alt=\"The crowd watches intently as the sheepdogs attempt to heard the sheep through obstacles including gates and pens.
