The other two: \u003ca href=\"http://www.baseball-reference.com/managers/coxbo01.shtml\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Bobby Cox\u003c/a>, longtime manager of the Atlanta Braves, and \u003ca href=\"http://www.baseball-reference.com/managers/coxbo01.shtml\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Joe Torre\u003c/a>, who managed the Braves and St. Louis Cardinals before finding success leading the New York Yankees.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For me, Tony La Russa will always be the lawyer who somehow got the Chicago White Sox to the playoffs after decades of pointless wandering through the standings. I grew up in Chicago watching the Sox and Cubs, and felt equally attached to their ancient stadiums. In the early ’80s, people there still talked about the night in 1959 when the Sox clinched the American League pennant and Mayor Daley — the first Mayor Daley — ordered air raid sirens to sound as part of the celebration. People went from a party mood to fearing a nuclear attack was imminent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Anyway, La Russa, who wasn’t yet 40, already had a law degree (from Florida State), and led the Sox to the playoffs. Where they promptly lost to the Baltimore Orioles. Which is beside the point, because they were still playing in October, after all.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Not quite three seasons later, the Sox fired La Russa and the Oakland A’s hired him. They, too, had been wandering aimlessly around the American League West, managed by the likes of Steve Boros and Jackie Moore. When La Russa arrived on the scene, I remember thinking, “This guy’s a real manager.” And not to give him all credit — the A’s organization was already building the core of the team that would dominated the A.L. West, win three straight pennants (1988-90) and one World Series (1989).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But as a fan, it seemed clear La Russa was a manager who knew how to use the talent the front office had signed. Even when the team didn’t win, it was a pretty engaging group to watch. La Russa left the team after A’s owner Walter Haas Jr. died in 1995. He joined the St. Louis Cardinals in 1996, and \u003ca href=\"http://www.baseball-reference.com/managers/larusto01.shtml\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">we hear\u003c/a> that he did pretty well there. The Cards under La Russa won six National League Central titles, three pennants and two World Series. Another career footnote: La Russa was named manager of the year for all three teams he led — those long-ago White Sox, the A’s and the Cardinals.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>La Russa is a longtime resident of the East Bay and is known locally for some of his off-season activities, including \u003ca href=\"http://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=2199&dat=20021215&id=-44yAAAAIBAJ&sjid=Q-kFAAAAIBAJ&pg=5748,4194044\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">dancing in the Oakland Ballet’s “Nutcracker”\u003c/a> and for his \u003ca href=\"http://www.arf.net/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Tony La Russa’s Animal Rescue Foundation\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here’s the AP’s writeup on La Russa’s Hall of Fame election:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>R.B. Fallstrom\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Associated Press Sports Writer\u003cbr>\n\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>ST. LOUIS — Tony La Russa noticed a change between his first game as a big league manager in 1979 and his last in 2011.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I was right at the beginning of guaranteed contracts. So right away, players had security, potential security, and they were motivated by, ‘Get yours. Get yours,'” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“And then the media — ESPN started in September of ’79,” he went on. “There was all kind of distractions. Fame and fortune. So what I really believed, and this is something we learned over time, leadership is more important than ever in professional sports.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After leading Oakland to the 1989 World Series title and St. Louis to a pair of championships in 2006 and ’11, La Russa was unanimously elected to baseball’s Hall of Fame on Monday along with former managerial colleagues Bobby Cox and Joe Torre.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the sabermetric age, La Russa was a bit of a throwback. He was part of the revolution of batter-pitcher matchups, creating the one-inning closer with Dennis Eckersley. But he was dismissive of a “Moneyball” culture valuing esoteric statistical data in favor of trusting what he saw.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The metrics part of it is a really good preparation tool, but when you start replacing the manager, his decision-making, what you’re doing is undercutting his opportunity to earn respect, and his leadership gets affected,” he said. “Because who gets the credit for those decisions? That’s 180 degrees the wrong place. So leadership is more important. The more that you can support your leader, which is the coaching staff and manager, the better chance you have to win.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ever intense, the 69-year-old La Russa has spent the last two years as an adviser to baseball Commissioner Bud Selig. La Russa would like to become a club executive.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I miss the winning and losing,” he said after his election was announced at the baseball winter meetings in Lake Buena Vista, Fla. “Some day I’ll be with a team, I think. I’d like to be part of the competition again.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even with a large lead, there was no let-up in La Russa’s dugout. Lips tightly pursed, he pondered the possibilities from his spot in the corner nearest the steps to the clubhouse.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>An innovator, he batted his pitcher eighth in the batting order 432 times, ostensibly to set up a more favorable scenario for Albert Pujols.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Until La Russa made his final move, walking off from the 2011 World Series parade into retirement, the guard never really came down. And in some ways it still hasn’t, as evidenced by fierce attachments to favorite players, general managers and owners.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cerebral, and often combative and cranky, La Russa compiled a regular-season record of 2,728-2,365 in 33 seasons. He had 70 postseason victories, trailing only Torre’s 84, and joined role model Sparky Anderson as the lone managers to win Series in both leagues.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In all, La Russa managed 12 first-place finishes and six pennants and was picked as Manager of the Year four times. He went to the World Series three straight years from 1988-90, and also lost in the Series in 2004 when the Cardinals were swept by Boston.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A career .199 hitter with no home runs, La Russa made his big league debut as a teen infielder with the 1963 Kansas City Athletics. He got his first managing job at age 35 with the Chicago White Sox in 1979.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 1983, La Russa guided the White Sox to their first postseason berth in 24 years.

The other two: \u003ca href=\"http://www.baseball-reference.com/managers/coxbo01.shtml\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Bobby Cox\u003c/a>, longtime manager of the Atlanta Braves, and \u003ca href=\"http://www.baseball-reference.com/managers/coxbo01.shtml\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Joe Torre\u003c/a>, who managed the Braves and St. Louis Cardinals before finding success leading the New York Yankees.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For me, Tony La Russa will always be the lawyer who somehow got the Chicago White Sox to the playoffs after decades of pointless wandering through the standings. I grew up in Chicago watching the Sox and Cubs, and felt equally attached to their ancient stadiums. In the early ’80s, people there still talked about the night in 1959 when the Sox clinched the American League pennant and Mayor Daley — the first Mayor Daley — ordered air raid sirens to sound as part of the celebration. People went from a party mood to fearing a nuclear attack was imminent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Anyway, La Russa, who wasn’t yet 40, already had a law degree (from Florida State), and led the Sox to the playoffs. Where they promptly lost to the Baltimore Orioles. Which is beside the point, because they were still playing in October, after all.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Not quite three seasons later, the Sox fired La Russa and the Oakland A’s hired him. They, too, had been wandering aimlessly around the American League West, managed by the likes of Steve Boros and Jackie Moore. When La Russa arrived on the scene, I remember thinking, “This guy’s a real manager.” And not to give him all credit — the A’s organization was already building the core of the team that would dominated the A.L. West, win three straight pennants (1988-90) and one World Series (1989).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But as a fan, it seemed clear La Russa was a manager who knew how to use the talent the front office had signed. Even when the team didn’t win, it was a pretty engaging group to watch. La Russa left the team after A’s owner Walter Haas Jr. died in 1995. He joined the St. Louis Cardinals in 1996, and \u003ca href=\"http://www.baseball-reference.com/managers/larusto01.shtml\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">we hear\u003c/a> that he did pretty well there. The Cards under La Russa won six National League Central titles, three pennants and two World Series. Another career footnote: La Russa was named manager of the year for all three teams he led — those long-ago White Sox, the A’s and the Cardinals.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Fallstrom\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Associated Press Sports Writer\u003cbr>\n\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>ST. LOUIS — Tony La Russa noticed a change between his first game as a big league manager in 1979 and his last in 2011.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I was right at the beginning of guaranteed contracts. So right away, players had security, potential security, and they were motivated by, ‘Get yours. Get yours,'” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“And then the media — ESPN started in September of ’79,” he went on. “There was all kind of distractions. Fame and fortune. So what I really believed, and this is something we learned over time, leadership is more important than ever in professional sports.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After leading Oakland to the 1989 World Series title and St. Louis to a pair of championships in 2006 and ’11, La Russa was unanimously elected to baseball’s Hall of Fame on Monday along with former managerial colleagues Bobby Cox and Joe Torre.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the sabermetric age, La Russa was a bit of a throwback. He was part of the revolution of batter-pitcher matchups, creating the one-inning closer with Dennis Eckersley. But he was dismissive of a “Moneyball” culture valuing esoteric statistical data in favor of trusting what he saw.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The metrics part of it is a really good preparation tool, but when you start replacing the manager, his decision-making, what you’re doing is undercutting his opportunity to earn respect, and his leadership gets affected,” he said. “Because who gets the credit for those decisions? That’s 180 degrees the wrong place. So leadership is more important. The more that you can support your leader, which is the coaching staff and manager, the better chance you have to win.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ever intense, the 69-year-old La Russa has spent the last two years as an adviser to baseball Commissioner Bud Selig. La Russa would like to become a club executive.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I miss the winning and losing,” he said after his election was announced at the baseball winter meetings in Lake Buena Vista, Fla. “Some day I’ll be with a team, I think. I’d like to be part of the competition again.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even with a large lead, there was no let-up in La Russa’s dugout. Lips tightly pursed, he pondered the possibilities from his spot in the corner nearest the steps to the clubhouse.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>An innovator, he batted his pitcher eighth in the batting order 432 times, ostensibly to set up a more favorable scenario for Albert Pujols.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Until La Russa made his final move, walking off from the 2011 World Series parade into retirement, the guard never really came down. And in some ways it still hasn’t, as evidenced by fierce attachments to favorite players, general managers and owners.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cerebral, and often combative and cranky, La Russa compiled a regular-season record of 2,728-2,365 in 33 seasons. He had 70 postseason victories, trailing only Torre’s 84, and joined role model Sparky Anderson as the lone managers to win Series in both leagues.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In all, La Russa managed 12 first-place finishes and six pennants and was picked as Manager of the Year four times. He went to the World Series three straight years from 1988-90, and also lost in the Series in 2004 when the Cardinals were swept by Boston.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A career .199 hitter with no home runs, La Russa made his big league debut as a teen infielder with the 1963 Kansas City Athletics. He got his first managing job at age 35 with the Chicago White Sox in 1979.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 1983, La Russa guided the White Sox to their first postseason berth in 24 years. He rewarded new Cardinals owners with a division title his first season in St. Louis in 1996, ending the franchise’s nine-year postseason slump, and made it to the playoffs nine times in 16 seasons overall.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Oakland connection of La Russa and GM Walt Jocketty led to a trade for Mark McGwire, who shattered Roger Maris’ record of 61 homers that had stood since 1961 with 70 homers in 1998.

The A's are at the center of a court battle to force Major League Baseball to allow the team to move to San Jose. (Dan Brekke/KQED)\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>In a surprising development, attorneys for Major League Baseball say Commissioner Bud Selig formally rejected a request by Oakland Athletics ownership to move the team to San Jose last June. That claim comes in a \u003ca href=\"http://www.scribd.com/doc/190083132/SJ-v-MLB-Case-Mgmt-Statement\" target=\"_blank\">case-management statement\u003c/a> prepared in advance of a federal court hearing scheduled next week in San Jose's lawsuit against the the major leagues. The suit alleges that Major League Baseball interfered with the A's attempt to relocate to San Jose in part by not making a timely decision on the matter. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But in the newly filed case-management document, attorneys for Major League Baseball say a decision was made and communicated to A's owner Lew Wolff. \"In fact, MLB denied the Athletics’ relocation request on June 17, 2013,\" the document says, \"one day before this lawsuit was filed. On that date, Commissioner Selig formally notified the Athletics’ ownership that he was not satisfied with the club’s relocation proposal.\" (Coincidentally, June 17 was the day after \u003ca href=\"http://blog.sfgate.com/athletics/2013/06/16/raw-sewage-on-clubhouse-level-creates-postgame-chaos/\" target=\"_blank\">a highly publicized sewage spill\u003c/a> following an A's game at the Oakland Coliseum.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The letter from Selig to the Athletics has not been made public. The legal filing says that major league officials notified San Jose of its existence on Oct. 22, and offered to share it with the city if it would agree to a \"protective order\" to keep it confidential and/or agree not to use it for further legal action. San Jose refused, instead asking the court to force baseball officials to provide the letter.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nathaniel Grow, \u003ca href=\"http://sports-law.blogspot.com/2013/12/breaking-news-from-san-jose-v-mlb.html\" target=\"_blank\">writing for the Sports Law Blog\u003c/a>, points out that since no one who's seen the letter will comment on the record, we don't know whether Selig said the A's absolutely could not move the franchise, or whether they simply said the proposal they'd submitted needed tweaking. The latter is implied by an anonymous source cited by\u003ca href=\"http://blog.sfgate.com/athletics/2013/12/07/did-mlb-deny-the-as-request-to-move-to-san-jose-in-june/\" target=\"_blank\"> Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>U.S. District Court Judge Ronald Whyte \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2013/10/11/san-jose-gets-split-ruling-in-suit-over-as-move/\" target=\"_blank\">dismissed a major part\u003c/a> of San Jose's suit — allegations that Major League Baseball was guilty of violating federal antitrust law by blocking the A's move — in an October ruling. The case-management statement filed Friday from both sides in the case states their positions on how to proceed on a remaining claim that Major League Baseball violated California law by interfering with San Jose's contract with the A's for a stadium site downtown. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The A's originally made the proposal to move to San Jose in 2009.

That claim comes in a \u003ca href=\"http://www.scribd.com/doc/190083132/SJ-v-MLB-Case-Mgmt-Statement\" target=\"_blank\">case-management statement\u003c/a> prepared in advance of a federal court hearing scheduled next week in San Jose's lawsuit against the the major leagues. The suit alleges that Major League Baseball interfered with the A's attempt to relocate to San Jose in part by not making a timely decision on the matter. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But in the newly filed case-management document, attorneys for Major League Baseball say a decision was made and communicated to A's owner Lew Wolff. \"In fact, MLB denied the Athletics’ relocation request on June 17, 2013,\" the document says, \"one day before this lawsuit was filed. On that date, Commissioner Selig formally notified the Athletics’ ownership that he was not satisfied with the club’s relocation proposal.\" (Coincidentally, June 17 was the day after \u003ca href=\"http://blog.sfgate.com/athletics/2013/06/16/raw-sewage-on-clubhouse-level-creates-postgame-chaos/\" target=\"_blank\">a highly publicized sewage spill\u003c/a> following an A's game at the Oakland Coliseum.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The letter from Selig to the Athletics has not been made public. The legal filing says that major league officials notified San Jose of its existence on Oct. 22, and offered to share it with the city if it would agree to a \"protective order\" to keep it confidential and/or agree not to use it for further legal action. San Jose refused, instead asking the court to force baseball officials to provide the letter.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nathaniel Grow, \u003ca href=\"http://sports-law.blogspot.com/2013/12/breaking-news-from-san-jose-v-mlb.html\" target=\"_blank\">writing for the Sports Law Blog\u003c/a>, points out that since no one who's seen the letter will comment on the record, we don't know whether Selig said the A's absolutely could not move the franchise, or whether they simply said the proposal they'd submitted needed tweaking. The latter is implied by an anonymous source cited by\u003ca href=\"http://blog.sfgate.com/athletics/2013/12/07/did-mlb-deny-the-as-request-to-move-to-san-jose-in-june/\" target=\"_blank\"> Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>U.S. District Court Judge Ronald Whyte \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2013/10/11/san-jose-gets-split-ruling-in-suit-over-as-move/\" target=\"_blank\">dismissed a major part\u003c/a> of San Jose's suit — allegations that Major League Baseball was guilty of violating federal antitrust law by blocking the A's move — in an October ruling. The case-management statement filed Friday from both sides in the case states their positions on how to proceed on a remaining claim that Major League Baseball violated California law by interfering with San Jose's contract with the A's for a stadium site downtown. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

(Golden State Warriors)\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>I could have sworn I just heard someone say, \"No wall on the waterfront.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Golden State Warriors unveiled a new design Tuesday for the team's proposed arena/event center/retail complex on Piers 30-32, just south of the Bay Bridge on the San Francisco waterfront. In \u003ca href=\"http://www.nba.com/warriors/news/20131112/sf\" target=\"_blank\">a press release\u003c/a>, the team says \"the design incorporates more than a year of feedback from regulatory agencies and citizens\" about the facility, which is now somewhat smaller and not quite as monolithic as earlier designs. The Warriors are taking note of some other feedback on waterfront development, too: last week's \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2013/11/06/election-2013-sf-waterfront-development-measures-lose\" target=\"_blank\">defeat of Propositions B and C\u003c/a>, which if passed would have allowed construction of a big condo project on the Embarcadero just up the street from the Ferry Building. The battle cry of the No on B and C campaign: \"No wall on the waterfront.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So, how much more petite — or less wall-like — is the new complex than the old? The original pavilion, a term that the team apparently prefers to \"arena,\" totaled 771,000 gross square feet of event and commercial space; the new design calls from 695,000 square feet. Where the arena was first envisioned as 135 feet high, now it will be 125 feet. When the complex was first proposed, half of the 12.6-acre site was described as open space. Now that's up to 60 percent, 7.6 acres. The design also includes human-friendly features like valet bike parking, a public ramp around the arena, a kayak ramp, and a new public plaza on the Embarcadero at the site's northwest corner. The proposal also calls for a deep-water berth, part of fulfilling use requirements for the waterfront site, and a waterfront fire station.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignleft\">'We're about building something that is better for the future, not living in the past.'\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>Those changes aside, the Warriors and their allies, including Mayor Ed Lee and a host of business leaders, will still face a nearly certain ballot fight on the waterfront facility. Former Mayor Art Agnos promised as much as soon as the results for Props. B and C were in.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the Warriors' owners say they're bestowing a gift on the region and criticize Agnos and those who have opposed the arena — mainly neighborhood residents and environmental and waterfront advocates — as \"living in the past.\" Here's co-owner and team CEO Joe Lacob in \u003ca href=\"http://blog.sfgate.com/warriors/2013/11/12/joe-lacob-looks-back-at-first-three-years-as-warriors-owner-looks-ahead-toward-future/\">Tuesday's San Francisco Chronicle\u003c/a>:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>I don’t think most people really want to live in the past. They want to live in a better future. We have to listen to everybody’s view and try to accommodate their views, and we can’t just do what we want to do. We [want] to make it something that for the majority of the people is a better place, a city, a better set of piers. That’s what we’re about: building something that is better for the future, not living in the past.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Lacob also says that the Warriors arena is fundamentally different from the condo project the voters were deciding on when they rejected Props. B and C. In fact, he compares it to arguably \u003cem>the\u003c/em> most iconic of Bay Area landmarks:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>What we’re doing is a much different civic-kind-of goal. Yes, it’s on the waterfront, but we want to create something to be used by so many San Franciscans and Bay Area residents. I hate to equate it to the Golden Gate Bridge, but, in the 1930s, it was thought of negatively. Well, it turns out that it’s a very useful and beautiful thing. People are proud of it, and it represents the city worldwide. I believe this can do the same. There are always going to be naysayers. There are going to be those who don’t want any development. They’d rather let those piers rot or have a new set of taxes levied. We’re going to spend almost $200 million to fix them and set the foundation for this arena. If we put this arena anywhere else, it would cost us $200 million less. This is not economic for us. We’re doing this, because it’s the best location as far as transit, near the new multi-billion TransBay Terminal. We’re fixing something on the pier, which is a great civic gift, frankly. I know some people won’t like the height or this or that, but I wish people would view this practically. It is sitting out on the water. It’s not blocking anybody’s views. We’re creating a 7-acre park for the good of all San Francisco. We’re creating a new San Francisco Fire Department building. That’s not something I wanted to do, but I realize it’s something we need to do to give something back. There is going to be a cruise ship terminal, bike paths, running paths, green areas. ... At the end of the day, I believe that we will have a positive reaction from the city planning department, the mayor, the ex-mayor and the people of the community.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Lacob, \u003ca href=\"http://www.kpcb.com/partner/joseph-lacob\" target=\"_blank\">a former Silicon Valley venture capitalist\u003c/a>, told CSN Bay Area that he resents suggestions that he's a wealthy interloper:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>To be attacked by someone like Art Agnos, who is a voice of the past . . . to say that we are billionaires trying to take over the city is a joke. That's absurd and it's insulting. What is he trying to do for the city? We're trying to do something positive. It is going to be tough. We're going to have to convince him and others – or outvote them – that what we're doing is in the best interest of the majority of San Franciscans and people of the Bay Area.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Lacob also said in \u003ca href=\"http://www.csnbayarea.com/warriors/lacob-hiring-jackson-west-changed-mentality\" target=\"_blank\">the CSN interview\u003c/a> that he recognizes it may take a while to realize his dream of a new arena and that it may never happen at all.\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>I guess what I'd say to you is that we have alternatives – I'm not a fool – but we're going to [try] real hard to do this, even though it's more expensive than any other plan by far. It's not even close, and that's just the arena itself, not the surrounding area. We think for the next 40 years, 50 years, it will be something that all people of the Bay Area can be proud of, a great civic accomplishment.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n",

(Golden State Warriors)\" width=\"640\" height=\"427\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">The Golden State Warriors's latest rendering of their proposed new arena on the San Francisco waterfront. (Golden State Warriors)\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>I could have sworn I just heard someone say, \"No wall on the waterfront.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Golden State Warriors unveiled a new design Tuesday for the team's proposed arena/event center/retail complex on Piers 30-32, just south of the Bay Bridge on the San Francisco waterfront. In \u003ca href=\"http://www.nba.com/warriors/news/20131112/sf\" target=\"_blank\">a press release\u003c/a>, the team says \"the design incorporates more than a year of feedback from regulatory agencies and citizens\" about the facility, which is now somewhat smaller and not quite as monolithic as earlier designs. The Warriors are taking note of some other feedback on waterfront development, too: last week's \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2013/11/06/election-2013-sf-waterfront-development-measures-lose\" target=\"_blank\">defeat of Propositions B and C\u003c/a>, which if passed would have allowed construction of a big condo project on the Embarcadero just up the street from the Ferry Building. The battle cry of the No on B and C campaign: \"No wall on the waterfront.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So, how much more petite — or less wall-like — is the new complex than the old? The original pavilion, a term that the team apparently prefers to \"arena,\" totaled 771,000 gross square feet of event and commercial space; the new design calls from 695,000 square feet. Where the arena was first envisioned as 135 feet high, now it will be 125 feet. When the complex was first proposed, half of the 12.6-acre site was described as open space. Now that's up to 60 percent, 7.6 acres. The design also includes human-friendly features like valet bike parking, a public ramp around the arena, a kayak ramp, and a new public plaza on the Embarcadero at the site's northwest corner. The proposal also calls for a deep-water berth, part of fulfilling use requirements for the waterfront site, and a waterfront fire station.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignleft\">'We're about building something that is better for the future, not living in the past.'\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>Those changes aside, the Warriors and their allies, including Mayor Ed Lee and a host of business leaders, will still face a nearly certain ballot fight on the waterfront facility. Former Mayor Art Agnos promised as much as soon as the results for Props. B and C were in.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the Warriors' owners say they're bestowing a gift on the region and criticize Agnos and those who have opposed the arena — mainly neighborhood residents and environmental and waterfront advocates — as \"living in the past.\" Here's co-owner and team CEO Joe Lacob in \u003ca href=\"http://blog.sfgate.com/warriors/2013/11/12/joe-lacob-looks-back-at-first-three-years-as-warriors-owner-looks-ahead-toward-future/\">Tuesday's San Francisco Chronicle\u003c/a>:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>I don’t think most people really want to live in the past. They want to live in a better future. We have to listen to everybody’s view and try to accommodate their views, and we can’t just do what we want to do. We [want] to make it something that for the majority of the people is a better place, a city, a better set of piers. That’s what we’re about: building something that is better for the future, not living in the past.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Lacob also says that the Warriors arena is fundamentally different from the condo project the voters were deciding on when they rejected Props. B and C. In fact, he compares it to arguably \u003cem>the\u003c/em> most iconic of Bay Area landmarks:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>What we’re doing is a much different civic-kind-of goal. Yes, it’s on the waterfront, but we want to create something to be used by so many San Franciscans and Bay Area residents. I hate to equate it to the Golden Gate Bridge, but, in the 1930s, it was thought of negatively. Well, it turns out that it’s a very useful and beautiful thing. People are proud of it, and it represents the city worldwide. I believe this can do the same. There are always going to be naysayers. There are going to be those who don’t want any development. They’d rather let those piers rot or have a new set of taxes levied. We’re going to spend almost $200 million to fix them and set the foundation for this arena. If we put this arena anywhere else, it would cost us $200 million less. This is not economic for us. We’re doing this, because it’s the best location as far as transit, near the new multi-billion TransBay Terminal. We’re fixing something on the pier, which is a great civic gift, frankly. I know some people won’t like the height or this or that, but I wish people would view this practically. It is sitting out on the water. It’s not blocking anybody’s views. We’re creating a 7-acre park for the good of all San Francisco. We’re creating a new San Francisco Fire Department building. That’s not something I wanted to do, but I realize it’s something we need to do to give something back. There is going to be a cruise ship terminal, bike paths, running paths, green areas. ... At the end of the day, I believe that we will have a positive reaction from the city planning department, the mayor, the ex-mayor and the people of the community.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Lacob, \u003ca href=\"http://www.kpcb.com/partner/joseph-lacob\" target=\"_blank\">a former Silicon Valley venture capitalist\u003c/a>, told CSN Bay Area that he resents suggestions that he's a wealthy interloper:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>To be attacked by someone like Art Agnos, who is a voice of the past . . . to say that we are billionaires trying to take over the city is a joke. That's absurd and it's insulting. What is he trying to do for the city? We're trying to do something positive. It is going to be tough. We're going to have to convince him and others – or outvote them – that what we're doing is in the best interest of the majority of San Franciscans and people of the Bay Area.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Lacob also said in \u003ca href=\"http://www.csnbayarea.com/warriors/lacob-hiring-jackson-west-changed-mentality\" target=\"_blank\">the CSN interview\u003c/a> that he recognizes it may take a while to realize his dream of a new arena and that it may never happen at all.\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>I guess what I'd say to you is that we have alternatives – I'm not a fool – but we're going to [try] real hard to do this, even though it's more expensive than any other plan by far. It's not even close, and that's just the arena itself, not the surrounding area. We think for the next 40 years, 50 years, it will be something that all people of the Bay Area can be proud of, a great civic accomplishment.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

The Times of India’s sports editor, Alok Sinha, traveled to Sacramento to check it out. He said the country’s basketball fan base is growing, but still relatively marginal. “It’s a very small audience because our sport is cricket,” he said. And after cricket, “football – which you call soccer here – has become very big in India.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Sinha said more Indians are playing basketball in school, and he thinks the Kings can build an Indian brand over time. Still, the Kings are a small-market team, so it will take some time. “(The) Lakers, everyone knows in India. And people are talking about Kobe Bryant, or people are talking about LeBron James.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think it’s measured in seasons,” said David Carter, the executive director of USC’s Sports Business Institute. “And many seasons at that.” But Carter said the Kings’ approach makes sense, and added the team is simply following a growing trend for American pro sports teams. “The Dallas Cowboys have done a decent job penetrating into Mexico. I think historically some of the baseball teams – the Dodgers – have been involved in Asia for a very long time, from scouting to player development,” he added.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And in the NBA, the Houston Rockets have cultivated a broad fan base in China ever since they drafted Chinese superstar Yao Ming in 2002.

The fact that we can be the first team to really plant roots there? I think it’s fantastic.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The team does have some other work to do, first: They lost 54 games last year, and haven’t made the playoffs since 2005-2006. Ranadive is keeping the on-court expectations low. “This season we did not want to be judged on wins and losses. …we didn’t want to be last in all defensive categories, and we just wanted to show forward progress.” But minority owner Shaquille O’Neal thinks the team can be a contender soon. “It’s going to take some time,” said Shaq. “We’re going to be looking at the free agency market to try and speed up the process. We’re committed to giving you guys a good product.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Kings are hoping they’ll have a fan base on the other side of the world by the time they’ve built a winning team.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>\u003cstrong>Video of Shaq playing cricket before Wednesday's Kings game:\u003c/strong>\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n",

The move comes amid renewed calls from many Native American groups to change a name they say is derogatory. Even President Obama \u003ca href=\"http://bigstory.ap.org/article/obama-open-name-change-washington-redskins\">weighed in this month\u003c/a>, telling the Associated Press that he would “think about changing” the name if \u003cem>he\u003c/em> owned the team.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Chronicle Managing Editor Audrey Cooper spoke today with KQED’s Mina Kim about the change.

For example, we will use the team name when referring to the controversy surrounding its use.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cooper said she doubts any regular reader of the Chronicle or website SFGate.com would have noticed the choice to use “Washington” instead of the team name, and that they are choosing to use another word that “accurately describes what we are writing about.”\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>NBC Sports first \u003ca href=\"http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2013/10/29/san-francisco-chronicle-dumps-redskins-name/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">reported the news\u003c/a> last night, attributing it to “multiple industry sources.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The 49ers play … umm… uh … the team in question on Nov. 25.

The move comes amid renewed calls from many Native American groups to change a name they say is derogatory.

For example, we will use the team name when referring to the controversy surrounding its use.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cooper said she doubts any regular reader of the Chronicle or website SFGate.com would have noticed the choice to use “Washington” instead of the team name, and that they are choosing to use another word that “accurately describes what we are writing about.”\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>NBC Sports first \u003ca href=\"http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2013/10/29/san-francisco-chronicle-dumps-redskins-name/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">reported the news\u003c/a> last night, attributing it to “multiple industry sources.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

And last week Silicon Valley venture capitalist Vinod Khosla won a round in his controversial fight to block the public from walking or driving to \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfgate.com/default/article/Surfers-lose-fight-to-access-Half-Moon-Bay-beach-4926919.php\">Martins Beach\u003c/a>, just south of Half Moon Bay.

But all those conditions must be met, so even though the contest window opens Nov. 1, it could be months before the contest happens (the window closes March 31).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Among the two-dozen elite competitors expected to attend is Brazilian Carlos Burle, who on Monday was reported to have possibly \u003ca href=\"http://www.latimes.com/sports/sportsnow/la-sp-sn-watch-surfer-big-wave-portugal-guinness-record-20131029,0,4378709.htmlstory#axzz2j9bLKlRa\">surfed the world's biggest wave\u003c/a> off the coast of Portugal. Preliminary estimates put his wave at about 100 feet. (The current record is a 78-foot wave surfed in 2011, also off the coast of Portugal.) Other surfers at Mavericks this year include 2012-13 Mavericks winner Peter Mel, of Santa Cruz, and 2009-10 winner Chris Bertish, of South Africa.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Speaking of surfers, San Mateo County Superior Court Gerald Buchwald ruled against a group of surfers called Friends of Martin’s Beach, in Khosla's favor, saying that the history of the property as a mid-19th century land grant predates the creation of the state of California, and preempts the California Constitution.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!--more-->The \u003ca href=\"http://www.mercurynews.com/breaking-news/ci_24380282/vinod-khosla-wins-key-martins-beach-battle\">Mercury News\u003c/a> explained the ruling:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>The judge's ruling skirts the fundamental conflict between the rights of private property owners and the rights of Californians to access the shoreline. Instead, Buchwald rooted his decision in the land's history during the mid-19th century. Since there was no public easement attached to the property at the time the United States acquired California from Mexico, the judge reasoned, the question of whether the California Constitution now guarantees access to the beach is immaterial.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The original owner of the property was Jose Maria Alviso, who received a provisional land grant from the Mexican government in the late 1830s. He later transferred the property to his brother, Jose Antonio Alviso, whose rights to the property were upheld under the 1848 Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo, which settled the Mexican-American War. The U.S. government challenged Alviso's land patent, but the Supreme Court confirmed Alviso's ownership in 1859.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>All that complicated history led Buchwald to a basic conclusion: The nation's high court exempted this property from the full reach of California law.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>The Friends plan to appeal. Another lawsuit against Khosla is headed for trial next spring: The Malibu-based nonprofit \u003ca href=\"http://www.surfrider.org/jims-blog/entry/vinod-khosla-beaches-belong-to-the-public-they-are-not-for-sale2\">Surfrider Foundation\u003c/a> contends that locking the gate to the road off Highway 1 constituted development under California coastal law, for which Khosla needed a California Coastal Commission permit.

And last week Silicon Valley venture capitalist Vinod Khosla won a round in his controversial fight to block the public from walking or driving to \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfgate.com/default/article/Surfers-lose-fight-to-access-Half-Moon-Bay-beach-4926919.php\">Martins Beach\u003c/a>, just south of Half Moon Bay.

But all those conditions must be met, so even though the contest window opens Nov. 1, it could be months before the contest happens (the window closes March 31).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Among the two-dozen elite competitors expected to attend is Brazilian Carlos Burle, who on Monday was reported to have possibly \u003ca href=\"http://www.latimes.com/sports/sportsnow/la-sp-sn-watch-surfer-big-wave-portugal-guinness-record-20131029,0,4378709.htmlstory#axzz2j9bLKlRa\">surfed the world's biggest wave\u003c/a> off the coast of Portugal. Preliminary estimates put his wave at about 100 feet. (The current record is a 78-foot wave surfed in 2011, also off the coast of Portugal.) Other surfers at Mavericks this year include 2012-13 Mavericks winner Peter Mel, of Santa Cruz, and 2009-10 winner Chris Bertish, of South Africa.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Speaking of surfers, San Mateo County Superior Court Gerald Buchwald ruled against a group of surfers called Friends of Martin’s Beach, in Khosla's favor, saying that the history of the property as a mid-19th century land grant predates the creation of the state of California, and preempts the California Constitution.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Instead, Buchwald rooted his decision in the land's history during the mid-19th century. Since there was no public easement attached to the property at the time the United States acquired California from Mexico, the judge reasoned, the question of whether the California Constitution now guarantees access to the beach is immaterial.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The original owner of the property was Jose Maria Alviso, who received a provisional land grant from the Mexican government in the late 1830s. He later transferred the property to his brother, Jose Antonio Alviso, whose rights to the property were upheld under the 1848 Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo, which settled the Mexican-American War. The U.S. government challenged Alviso's land patent, but the Supreme Court confirmed Alviso's ownership in 1859.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>All that complicated history led Buchwald to a basic conclusion: The nation's high court exempted this property from the full reach of California law.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>The Friends plan to appeal. Another lawsuit against Khosla is headed for trial next spring: The Malibu-based nonprofit \u003ca href=\"http://www.surfrider.org/jims-blog/entry/vinod-khosla-beaches-belong-to-the-public-they-are-not-for-sale2\">Surfrider Foundation\u003c/a> contends that locking the gate to the road off Highway 1 constituted development under California coastal law, for which Khosla needed a California Coastal Commission permit.
