"content": "\u003cp>The season may be over, but the real fight is just revving up.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Oakland A's are once again on the hunt for a place to build a new stadium, eyeing a Port of Oakland property adjacent to Jack London Square as a potential site and hoping to avoid the kind of community backlash that tanked the team's last bid.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The Laney experience was not managed great,\" said Taj Tashombe, A's vice president of external affairs, who \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/KVeklerov/status/1048578818401652737\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">hosted a community meeting\u003c/a> on Sunday at a West Oakland restaurant near the proposed \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11690037/legislature-gives-as-green-light-to-speed-up-ballpark-review-process\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Howard Terminal\u003c/a> site. \"So I think that was a missed opportunity for everyone, for us, as well as the community to just have more opportunity to dialogue, like we're doing today.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The team's plans to build a 35,000-seat ballpark near Laney College were derailed in December when the Peralta Community College District that owns the land abruptly pulled out of talks amid \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11635373/as-head-back-to-the-ballpark-drawing-board-as-peralta-district-says-no-deal\">student and faculty resistance\u003c/a> stemming from fears of heightened traffic and gentrification.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tashombe said the team is trying to do better on the community front this time around.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Over a catered lunch, Tashombe and a crew of in-house planners offered community members a brief overview of their vision for a multi-use site. The plan is still light on details — something they referred to as the 'menu phase' — as they seek an exclusive negotiating agreement with the port (and separately with the city and county for the Coliseum location). Tashombe told the audience that any plan will include new affordable housing, retail sites and off-season attractions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mostly though, the A's liaisons listened to resident \u003ca href=\"https://www.eastbayexpress.com/oakland/can-a-new-oakland-as-ballpark-help-fight-gentrification/Content?oid=20313135\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">concerns\u003c/a> about the project, specifically inquiring about who really stood to benefit from it. One die-hard fan was worried about parking, while a neighborhood health advocate wanted to know what the team would do to help make a dent in the area's long-standing struggle with environmental pollution.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/KVeklerov/status/1048578818401652737\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In addition to the Howard site, the A's management said it's also considering redeveloping its current Oakland Coliseum site, which would include a new stadium and adjoining housing and retail spaces. The team said it hopes to announce its final plans by the end of this year and open the stadium for the \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">2023 season.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Union contractor Nedar Bey told the panel he wanted to ensure that the project would utilize the local workforce, especially African-American and Latino residents.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I've lived in Oakland 40 years and I've seen this before,\" Bey said. \"These are people that can do the work and deserve the work and they get left out.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The A's, who have been searching for a new home for the last 25 years, will soon be the only remaining pro sports team in Oakland. The NBA's Warriors plan to be in San Francisco next fall, and the NFL's Raiders say they'll move to Las Vegas in 2020. The city and its fans are intent on keeping the team in the city.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Following several years of dismal performance, the team drew renewed interest this season with the fourth-best record in Major League Baseball. But it's near the bottom of the league in terms of attendance drawing an average of 19,427 fans per game this season -- 26th out of 30 teams in the majors. There are hopes that a new venue will attract larger crowds and more revenue.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I think this is an intentional way to get that feedback from people, here, meeting people where they are,\" said Kieron Slaughter, who attended the community meeting Sunday and whose mom lives in Oakland. \"This allows them to address it moving forward as they prepare their project.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The next meeting about the Howard Terminal site is scheduled for Oct. 28 from 1-3 p.m. at Oakland City Hall.\u003c/p>\n\n",

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.

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.

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",

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>",

"content": "\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cspan class=\"s1\">It’s become almost a summer tradition in the California Capitol.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cspan class=\"s1\">As basketball season hits its final buzzer and baseball season gets into full swing, it’s also peak deal-making season for legislators rushing toward their August adjournment. Now is when professional sports teams hoping to build new stadiums staff up with Sacramento lobbyists, typically seeking to speed up construction of their new digs by persuading lawmakers to grant them exceptions from state environmental rules.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cspan class=\"s1\">Lawmakers are considering two such proposals this summer — one to help the Los Angeles Clippers build an arena in Inglewood, another to help the Oakland A’s construct a stadium in Oakland.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cspan class=\"s1\">They’re the latest in a long string of legislation to assist professional sports teams. In the last decade, lawmakers passed bills that fast-tracked new venues for the Sacramento Kings,\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> \u003c/span>Golden State Warriors and San Francisco 49ers. They also approved bills meant to help build new football stadiums in Los Angeles and San Diego that never came to pass.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-6NgXtnAj5E&w=560&h=315]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cspan class=\"s1\">The proposals routinely stir up debate over California’s environmental laws and whether to grant special deals for wealthy sports franchises. Making the debate even more poignant now: A lag in home construction has contributed to skyrocketing rents and increasing homelessness. Though lawmakers have\u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/articles/california-legislature-final-bills-governor-brown/%23The-Housing-Crisis\"> \u003cspan class=\"s2\">taken steps\u003c/span>\u003c/a> to speed up projects that include homes for low-income residents, they have not granted housing developments the same favored treatment they’ve given sports teams.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cspan class=\"s1\">“It’s bad to have two systems of law — one for rich people and one for everybody else. And that’s what we’re seeing,” said David Pettit, an attorney with the Natural Resources Defense Council, an environmental group that fought a bill last year to waive some environmental rules for a new Clippers arena.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cspan class=\"s1\">At the heart of the debate is the California Environmental Quality Act, a nearly 50-year-old law that some see as a sacrosanct protection and others as an excuse for lawsuits that drag on so long they doom ambitious projects.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cspan class=\"s1\">With environmentalists staunchly against loosening its requirements, Democrats who control the Legislature have resisted making sweeping changes to the act. Instead, they’ve approved a series of one-off arrangements to help individual teams by: expanding the use of eminent domain to acquire land, making it harder for courts to delay construction, or limiting the length of time for resolving environmental lawsuits. They even passed a law in 2011 entitling big projects to expedite environmental lawsuits under certain conditions, but teams continue to seek special deals for broader relief.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cspan class=\"s1\">Lawmakers don’t always approve them. Last year they shot down the Clippers’ request — but it was unusual because moneyed interests were lobbying on both sides. Owners of the Forum, a nearby concert arena, lobbied hard against the Clippers. The dueling interests combined spent more than $1 million lobbying on the bill, and owners of the Forum aired commercials attacking the state senator who carried it. A few months after Forum owners killed the bill, they showered legislators with $45,000 in campaign contributions.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cspan class=\"s1\">Assemblywoman Sydney Kamlager-Dove, a Los Angeles Democrat carrying this year’s version of the Clippers bill, said she expects another tense fight. The Clippers want to build their arena about a mile from the Forum, creating competition for big events.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cspan class=\"s1\">“With so much money on the line,”\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> \u003c/span>she said, “I can only suspect that they’re going to pull out the stops to defeat this.”\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cspan class=\"s1\">Opponents of the Clippers arena point out that the team’s proposal would impact much more than construction of the arena alone, which would cover just one-sixth of the land for the entire development project. They say it could allow stores, offices or homes to be built on the site without the normal environmental review — even if an arena is never constructed.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cspan class=\"s1\">Kamlager-Dove and other supporters of big sports projects cast them as economic boosts to their communities, bringing construction jobs during the building phase and concessions jobs afterward. These benefits can be lost or delayed, they say, by environmental litigation. The Clippers and A’s bills this year would limit the timeline for environmental lawsuits to nine months.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11675622\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/06/LA_Clippers.jpg\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11675622\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/06/LA_Clippers.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/06/LA_Clippers.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/06/LA_Clippers-160x90.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/06/LA_Clippers-240x135.jpg 240w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/06/LA_Clippers-375x211.jpg 375w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/06/LA_Clippers-520x293.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">The Los Angeles Clippers \u003ccite>(David Jones/Creative Commons)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cspan class=\"s1\">That’s a critical perk for developing a new Oakland A’s stadium with surrounding shops and homes, said Assemblyman Rob Bonta, an Alameda Democrat carrying the bill for his hometown team.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cspan class=\"s1\">“They can’t allow the project to be delayed forever. They need some certainty,” he said. “This is not something to benefit rich and powerful folks.

Now is when professional sports teams hoping to build new stadiums staff up with Sacramento lobbyists, typically seeking to speed up construction of their new digs by persuading lawmakers to grant them exceptions from state environmental rules.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cspan class=\"s1\">Lawmakers are considering two such proposals this summer — one to help the Los Angeles Clippers build an arena in Inglewood, another to help the Oakland A’s construct a stadium in Oakland.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cspan class=\"s1\">They’re the latest in a long string of legislation to assist professional sports teams. In the last decade, lawmakers passed bills that fast-tracked new venues for the Sacramento Kings,\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> \u003c/span>Golden State Warriors and San Francisco 49ers. They also approved bills meant to help build new football stadiums in Los Angeles and San Diego that never came to pass.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\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/-6NgXtnAj5E'\n title='//www.youtube.com/embed/-6NgXtnAj5E'\n allowfullscreen='true'\n style='border:0;'>\u003c/iframe>\n \u003c/span>\n \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cspan class=\"s1\">The proposals routinely stir up debate over California’s environmental laws and whether to grant special deals for wealthy sports franchises. Making the debate even more poignant now: A lag in home construction has contributed to skyrocketing rents and increasing homelessness. Though lawmakers have\u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/articles/california-legislature-final-bills-governor-brown/%23The-Housing-Crisis\"> \u003cspan class=\"s2\">taken steps\u003c/span>\u003c/a> to speed up projects that include homes for low-income residents, they have not granted housing developments the same favored treatment they’ve given sports teams.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

And that’s what we’re seeing,” said David Pettit, an attorney with the Natural Resources Defense Council, an environmental group that fought a bill last year to waive some environmental rules for a new Clippers arena.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cspan class=\"s1\">At the heart of the debate is the California Environmental Quality Act, a nearly 50-year-old law that some see as a sacrosanct protection and others as an excuse for lawsuits that drag on so long they doom ambitious projects.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cspan class=\"s1\">With environmentalists staunchly against loosening its requirements, Democrats who control the Legislature have resisted making sweeping changes to the act. Instead, they’ve approved a series of one-off arrangements to help individual teams by: expanding the use of eminent domain to acquire land, making it harder for courts to delay construction, or limiting the length of time for resolving environmental lawsuits. They even passed a law in 2011 entitling big projects to expedite environmental lawsuits under certain conditions, but teams continue to seek special deals for broader relief.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cspan class=\"s1\">Lawmakers don’t always approve them. Last year they shot down the Clippers’ request — but it was unusual because moneyed interests were lobbying on both sides. Owners of the Forum, a nearby concert arena, lobbied hard against the Clippers. The dueling interests combined spent more than $1 million lobbying on the bill, and owners of the Forum aired commercials attacking the state senator who carried it. A few months after Forum owners killed the bill, they showered legislators with $45,000 in campaign contributions.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cspan class=\"s1\">Assemblywoman Sydney Kamlager-Dove, a Los Angeles Democrat carrying this year’s version of the Clippers bill, said she expects another tense fight. The Clippers want to build their arena about a mile from the Forum, creating competition for big events.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cspan class=\"s1\">“With so much money on the line,”\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> \u003c/span>she said, “I can only suspect that they’re going to pull out the stops to defeat this.”\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cspan class=\"s1\">Opponents of the Clippers arena point out that the team’s proposal would impact much more than construction of the arena alone, which would cover just one-sixth of the land for the entire development project. They say it could allow stores, offices or homes to be built on the site without the normal environmental review — even if an arena is never constructed.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cspan class=\"s1\">Kamlager-Dove and other supporters of big sports projects cast them as economic boosts to their communities, bringing construction jobs during the building phase and concessions jobs afterward. These benefits can be lost or delayed, they say, by environmental litigation. The Clippers and A’s bills this year would limit the timeline for environmental lawsuits to nine months.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11675622\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/06/LA_Clippers.jpg\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11675622\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/06/LA_Clippers.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/06/LA_Clippers.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/06/LA_Clippers-160x90.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/06/LA_Clippers-240x135.jpg 240w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/06/LA_Clippers-375x211.jpg 375w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/06/LA_Clippers-520x293.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">The Los Angeles Clippers \u003ccite>(David Jones/Creative Commons)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cspan class=\"s1\">That’s a critical perk for developing a new Oakland A’s stadium with surrounding shops and homes, said Assemblyman Rob Bonta, an Alameda Democrat carrying the bill for his hometown team.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cspan class=\"s1\">“They can’t allow the project to be delayed forever.

The venue process has taken too long,” he wrote of a years-long process that has been complicated by the futures of the Oakland Raiders football team and Golden State Warriors basketball team, which also share the Coliseum complex.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’m excited to work with the A’s in their commitment to stay in Oakland and build a privately financed ballpark. We look forward to reviewing, analyzing, and considering the offer,” Schaaf wrote in an email statement to KQED.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Raiders plan on moving to Las Vegas in the coming years, while the Warriors will move across the bay to San Francisco.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The future of the A’s is too important to further risk alternate uses of the Coliseum at this time,” Kaval wrote to the city. “We are grateful for your ongoing reception and support to help keep the A’s in Oakland.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Bay City News and KQED’s Tara Siler contributed to this report.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n",

She loved the Twins, but the A’s eventually won her over. “The A's have a unique character. They have a kind of ‘do-it-yourself’ almost punk quality to them,” she says earnestly. “Also it's just a very fun place. The team, the players and the fans seem to sort of all have a spirit that matches each other.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s that welcoming spirit and underdog tale that many A’s fans say drew them to the team in the first place.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We came up with the ‘I believe in Stephen Vogt’ chant up here. It's kind of like the U.S. men's soccer team chant,” explains Aler-Ningas.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Vogt does have a Cinderella story. He was called to the majors in 2013 after spending six seasons in the minors. By the time the A’s bought the 29-year-old rookie’s contract for $150,000, Vogt’s Major League batting stats were a painful 0 for 32. He wasn’t doing well. But with the A’s, he did. Vogt -- now a member of the Milwaukee Brewers -- became a back-to-back All-Star catcher for Oakland.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“He's our kind of guy. The total underdog story. That's Oakland,” says Aler-Ningas.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And, he says, that’s why they drum. To root for the underdog. A team that hasn’t won the World Series since 1989. A “Moneyball” team that has one of the lowest payrolls in the majors -- and that narrowly beat out the Tampa Bay Rays for the lowest league attendance over the past two seasons.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But those numbers don’t bother the drum-beating diehards. They seem to make them stronger. More committed. More in love with their team and their town.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Whether it's 5,000 or 50,000 in this place, it's just, I love it!\" says Aler-Ningas. \"I don't know, I’m an Oakland guy.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11618715\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 787px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-11618715\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/09/RS26912_image001-1-qut.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"787\" height=\"445\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/09/RS26912_image001-1-qut.jpg 787w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/09/RS26912_image001-1-qut-160x90.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/09/RS26912_image001-1-qut-240x136.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/09/RS26912_image001-1-qut-375x212.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/09/RS26912_image001-1-qut-520x294.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 787px) 100vw, 787px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">'Bleacher Diehard' drummer Andy Cho showing off his drum in right field at an Oakland A's game. \u003ccite>(Serginho Roosblad/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>“Within the bleacher right field and left field, we call ourselves the 'FANily.'

She loved the Twins, but the A’s eventually won her over. “The A's have a unique character. They have a kind of ‘do-it-yourself’ almost punk quality to them,” she says earnestly. “Also it's just a very fun place. The team, the players and the fans seem to sort of all have a spirit that matches each other.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s that welcoming spirit and underdog tale that many A’s fans say drew them to the team in the first place.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We came up with the ‘I believe in Stephen Vogt’ chant up here. It's kind of like the U.S. men's soccer team chant,” explains Aler-Ningas.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Vogt does have a Cinderella story. He was called to the majors in 2013 after spending six seasons in the minors. By the time the A’s bought the 29-year-old rookie’s contract for $150,000, Vogt’s Major League batting stats were a painful 0 for 32. He wasn’t doing well. But with the A’s, he did. Vogt -- now a member of the Milwaukee Brewers -- became a back-to-back All-Star catcher for Oakland.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“He's our kind of guy. The total underdog story. That's Oakland,” says Aler-Ningas.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And, he says, that’s why they drum. To root for the underdog. A team that hasn’t won the World Series since 1989. A “Moneyball” team that has one of the lowest payrolls in the majors -- and that narrowly beat out the Tampa Bay Rays for the lowest league attendance over the past two seasons.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But those numbers don’t bother the drum-beating diehards. They seem to make them stronger. More committed. More in love with their team and their town.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Whether it's 5,000 or 50,000 in this place, it's just, I love it!\" says Aler-Ningas. \"I don't know, I’m an Oakland guy.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11618715\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 787px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-11618715\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/09/RS26912_image001-1-qut.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"787\" height=\"445\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/09/RS26912_image001-1-qut.jpg 787w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/09/RS26912_image001-1-qut-160x90.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/09/RS26912_image001-1-qut-240x136.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/09/RS26912_image001-1-qut-375x212.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/09/RS26912_image001-1-qut-520x294.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 787px) 100vw, 787px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">'Bleacher Diehard' drummer Andy Cho showing off his drum in right field at an Oakland A's game. \u003ccite>(Serginho Roosblad/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>“Within the bleacher right field and left field, we call ourselves the 'FANily.'

The San Francisco Bay Area as a whole has a long history of reveling in the ways it stands apart from the rest of America.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Not doing the wave is a way of saying, ‘San Francisco is different and we don’t do that here,’ ” says Fost.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Need another example?

At a time when baseball teams around the country were eagerly bringing cheery mascots into the mix, the Giants introduced an anti-mascot.
