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.",

Johnson was the major force behind a plan to build a new arena for the Sacramento Kings, \u003ca href=\"http://espn.go.com/nba/story/_/id/7810708/deal-new-sacramento-kings-arena-falls-through\" target=\"_blank\">a deal that collapsed in April\u003c/a> when the team's owners, the Maloof family, balked at the terms. On Monday, Johnson said he had instructed the task force that was working on an NBA arena project to explore the possibility of a downtown baseball stadium instead.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We had $250 million of public investment that we were willing to put toward a $400 million project,\" Johnson said at the press conference, speaking of the basketball arena. \"As I go around the country and talk to other owners, they're just in disbelief with what our community was able to put forward as an investment. We know that we could support not just one, but two teams, given the opportunity.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>All well and good. But later in the day, A's managing partner Lew Wolff and other team officials said \u003ca href=\"http://www.sacbee.com/2012/07/10/4619869/oakland-as-say-theyre-not-interested.html\" target=\"_blank\">they're not interested\u003c/a>, even as a backup plan.

Their stadium, however, holds just under 15,000 instead of the 35,000 or so that a new MLB park would be expected to serve. Most analysts point to Sacramento's relative lack of large corporations with the potential to buy luxury boxes and season tickets as the biggest obstacle.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A's ownership wants to build a new stadium in San Jose, but they can't do that without permission from Major League Baseball, which previously granted the San Francisco Giants territorial rights to Santa Clara County. MLB Commissioner Bud Selig created a \"blue-ribbon panel\" to study the issue 39 months ago.

Johnson was the major force behind a plan to build a new arena for the Sacramento Kings, \u003ca href=\"http://espn.go.com/nba/story/_/id/7810708/deal-new-sacramento-kings-arena-falls-through\" target=\"_blank\">a deal that collapsed in April\u003c/a> when the team's owners, the Maloof family, balked at the terms. On Monday, Johnson said he had instructed the task force that was working on an NBA arena project to explore the possibility of a downtown baseball stadium instead.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We had $250 million of public investment that we were willing to put toward a $400 million project,\" Johnson said at the press conference, speaking of the basketball arena. \"As I go around the country and talk to other owners, they're just in disbelief with what our community was able to put forward as an investment. We know that we could support not just one, but two teams, given the opportunity.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>All well and good. But later in the day, A's managing partner Lew Wolff and other team officials said \u003ca href=\"http://www.sacbee.com/2012/07/10/4619869/oakland-as-say-theyre-not-interested.html\" target=\"_blank\">they're not interested\u003c/a>, even as a backup plan. Susan Slusser, the San Francisco Chronicle's A's beat reporter, \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/susanslusser\" target=\"_blank\">tweeted\u003c/a>:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>Wolff tells me: \"We are not leaving the Bay Area and that's the end of it. Sacramento is a very nice city, but not for Major League Baseball as far as our ownership is concerned.\" \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/search/%23Athletics\">\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Fan support wold not seem to be a problem. Oakland's Triple-A affiliate, the\u003ca href=\"http://www.milb.com/index.jsp?sid=t105\" target=\"_blank\"> River Cats\u003c/a>, are located in West Sacramento and are considered one of the country's most successful minor league franchises. Their stadium, however, holds just under 15,000 instead of the 35,000 or so that a new MLB park would be expected to serve. Most analysts point to Sacramento's relative lack of large corporations with the potential to buy luxury boxes and season tickets as the biggest obstacle.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A's ownership wants to build a new stadium in San Jose, but they can't do that without permission from Major League Baseball, which previously granted the San Francisco Giants territorial rights to Santa Clara County. MLB Commissioner Bud Selig created a \"blue-ribbon panel\" to study the issue 39 months ago.

Pitchers such as Wakefield, Phil Niekro and Hoyt Wilhelm have been able to continue throwing the knuckler well into their forties, long after more conventional pitchers have lost their stuff. R. A. Dickey of the New York Mets is the best-known current practitioner of the pitch; he'll put it on display in the \u003ca href=\"http://msn.foxsports.com/mlb/story/matt-cain-ra-dickey-tony-la-russa-who-should-start-all-star-game-for-nl-070512\" target=\"_blank\">MLB All-Star Game\u003c/a> on Tuesday. (By the way, if you missed Dickey's April appearance on \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/2012/04/10/150283169/winding-up-as-the-mets-knuckleball-pitcher\" target=\"_blank\">Fresh Air with Terry Gross\u003c/a>, the All-Star Break is a good time to check it out.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 1944, \u003ca href=\"http://www.baseball-reference.com/bullpen/Annabelle_Lee\" target=\"_blank\">Annabelle \"Lefty\" Lee\u003c/a> threw a perfect game with the knuckleball for the Minneapolis Millerettes of the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League. Lee never played in the big leagues, though her nephew \u003ca href=\"http://www.baseball-reference.com/bullpen/Bill_Lee_%28leebi03%29\" target=\"_blank\">Bill \"Spaceman\" Lee\u003c/a> would go on to fame with the Red Sox and the Montreal Expos.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In fact, no woman has ever played in Major League Baseball. There haven't been many even in the independent leagues, to which the San Rafael and Maui teams belong. In 1997, Southern California native \u003ca href=\"http://www.baseball-reference.com/bullpen/Ila_Borders\" target=\"_blank\">Ila Borders \u003c/a>signed with the Saint Paul Saints and won games for Duluth-Superior and Madison. In 2010, when Yoshida played in Chico, \u003ca href=\"http://www.brooksbasa.us/\" target=\"_blank\">Tiffany Brooks\u003c/a> signed with a Texas independent league team, but didn't make it out of spring training; she's currently teaching.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jackie_Mitchell\" target=\"_blank\">Jackie Mitchell\u003c/a> may have had the most impressive achievement of any woman in baseball so far: in 1931, playing for the Chattanooga Lookouts \u003ca href=\"http://www.baseball-almanac.com/articles/aubrecht8.shtml\" target=\"_blank\">in an exhibition game\u003c/a>, she struck out Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tonight's game is at 7:30; if you can't watch in person, \u003ca href=\"http://www.pacificsbaseball.com/pressbox/pressreleases/\" target=\"_blank\">the Pacifics have a live webcast\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",
