He was the team’s play-by-play broadcaster for 25 seasons, through 2005, and died during surgery immediately after his final year at the radio microphone.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>King was a Renaissance man in the sports broadcasting world — he once did Oakland Raiders and Golden State Warriors games — and in life in general. He delighted in gustatory adventures — a fancy way of saying he loved great food and drink — was a serious opera enthusiast, a student of Russian literature and among other things was a self-taught painter.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>King’s fans and friends \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2013/10/02/bill-king-duane-kuiper-ford-frick-award/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">have long campaigned\u003c/a> to get him Major League Baseball’s ultimate recognition for its greatest broadcasters: the Ford C. Frick Award. That guy who just retired from the Los Angeles Dodgers’ broadcast booth, \u003ca href=\"http://baseballhall.org/discover/awards/ford-c-frick/vin-scully\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Vin What’s-His-Name\u003c/a>, he’s a past winner. So is \u003ca href=\"http://baseballhall.org/discover/awards/ford-c-frick/jon-miller\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Jon Miller\u003c/a>, the unfailingly entertaining and insightful voice anchoring San Francisco Giants radiocasts. There are lots of other guys — yes, all guys so far — on that list, even \u003ca href=\"http://baseballhall.org/discover/awards/ford-c-frick/tim-mccarver\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">some who might not be\u003c/a> universally venerated by true fans of the game.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But, until now, no Bill King. Before this year, he had appeared on the Frick ballot five times since 2004 and was denied each time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Wednesday, the National Baseball Hall of Fame \u003ca href=\"http://baseballhall.org/news/bill-king-named-2017-ford-c-frick-recipient\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">announced\u003c/a> that he’s the 2017 winner of the Frick Award. In his statement on the award, Hall of Fame President Jeff Idelson said:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>“Bill King’s enthusiasm for every game he called carried through the airwaves and into the hearts of fans throughout Northern California for 25 incredible years with the Oakland Athletics. From his distinctive word choices in describing the action to his unabashed love of Oakland and the Bay Area, King crafted a career that became synonymous with the action at the Oakland Coliseum and throughout the sports world.”\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Among those who worked hardest for King’s recognition was Ken Korach, his former broadcast partner. Korach, who published \u003ca href=\"https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00F02NOUG/ref=dp-kindle-redirect?_encoding=UTF8&btkr=1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">a book on King\u003c/a> before his last Frick ballot appearance in 2013, \u003ca href=\"http://www.mercurynews.com/2016/12/07/as-legendary-voice-bill-king-headed-to-cooperstown/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">told the Mercury News\u003c/a> after the news broke Wednesday:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>“I was crying for the first hour [after the news was announced]. It was so cool to share with people. I’ve gotten close to 100 calls, emails, texts from other broadcasters, from fans, from friends and from other winners who were so thrilled that Bill had won. It was heartwarming to hear from so many people who are all sharing in this. I even got three calls from minor league broadcasters telling me how much the learned from Bill.”\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Other reaction from those who knew or worked with King:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Sandy Alderson, former A’s general manager (now with the New York Mets), told the Associated Press:\u003c/strong> “Outstanding! He was so fantastic. What I loved about him was he was so unlike most baseball announcers. He was very erudite, loved language, had great command of it, but infused that language with tremendous energy and enthusiasm and passion. He felt strongly about certain topics, both in the game and out of the game. He loved German food. He loved the opera. He always drove a car that was at least 20 years old and was just an incredible personality, an eccentric in a positive way that stood out even in the Bay Area, which is full of eccentrics.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Dennis Eckersley, retired A’s reliever and Hall of Famer, told the San Francisco Chronicle:\u003c/strong> “I grew up with Bill and I loved him on the Warriors and Raiders, so when I got to the A’s, it was great — we both loved to sit in the sun and we spent a lot of time by the pool together. I really got to know him, and he had the best stories. What I remember is him wearing flip-flops everywhere, and that was the least of it. He was a character. … When I went into the Hall with (King’s broadcast partner) Lon Simmons, I thought Bill would be there before long, but I was starting to think that he would be forgotten. Ken Korach really pushed this, so a lot of credit to him.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And here’s an immortal King moment: His call of the extra-inning denouement of the Athletics’ 20-game winning streak in 2002:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[http_redir]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!-- iframe plugin v.4.3 wordpress.org/plugins/iframe/ -->\u003cbr>\n\u003ciframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http://m.mlb.com/shared/video/embed/embed.html?content_id=18991679&topic_id=8877514&width=400&height=224&property=mlb\" width=\"800\" height=\"448\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"yes\" class=\"iframe-class\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\n",

He was the team’s play-by-play broadcaster for 25 seasons, through 2005, and died during surgery immediately after his final year at the radio microphone.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>King was a Renaissance man in the sports broadcasting world — he once did Oakland Raiders and Golden State Warriors games — and in life in general. He delighted in gustatory adventures — a fancy way of saying he loved great food and drink — was a serious opera enthusiast, a student of Russian literature and among other things was a self-taught painter.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>King’s fans and friends \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2013/10/02/bill-king-duane-kuiper-ford-frick-award/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">have long campaigned\u003c/a> to get him Major League Baseball’s ultimate recognition for its greatest broadcasters: the Ford C. Frick Award. That guy who just retired from the Los Angeles Dodgers’ broadcast booth, \u003ca href=\"http://baseballhall.org/discover/awards/ford-c-frick/vin-scully\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Vin What’s-His-Name\u003c/a>, he’s a past winner. So is \u003ca href=\"http://baseballhall.org/discover/awards/ford-c-frick/jon-miller\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Jon Miller\u003c/a>, the unfailingly entertaining and insightful voice anchoring San Francisco Giants radiocasts. There are lots of other guys — yes, all guys so far — on that list, even \u003ca href=\"http://baseballhall.org/discover/awards/ford-c-frick/tim-mccarver\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">some who might not be\u003c/a> universally venerated by true fans of the game.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But, until now, no Bill King. Before this year, he had appeared on the Frick ballot five times since 2004 and was denied each time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Wednesday, the National Baseball Hall of Fame \u003ca href=\"http://baseballhall.org/news/bill-king-named-2017-ford-c-frick-recipient\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">announced\u003c/a> that he’s the 2017 winner of the Frick Award. In his statement on the award, Hall of Fame President Jeff Idelson said:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>“Bill King’s enthusiasm for every game he called carried through the airwaves and into the hearts of fans throughout Northern California for 25 incredible years with the Oakland Athletics. From his distinctive word choices in describing the action to his unabashed love of Oakland and the Bay Area, King crafted a career that became synonymous with the action at the Oakland Coliseum and throughout the sports world.”\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Among those who worked hardest for King’s recognition was Ken Korach, his former broadcast partner. Korach, who published \u003ca href=\"https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00F02NOUG/ref=dp-kindle-redirect?_encoding=UTF8&btkr=1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">a book on King\u003c/a> before his last Frick ballot appearance in 2013, \u003ca href=\"http://www.mercurynews.com/2016/12/07/as-legendary-voice-bill-king-headed-to-cooperstown/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">told the Mercury News\u003c/a> after the news broke Wednesday:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>“I was crying for the first hour [after the news was announced]. It was so cool to share with people. I’ve gotten close to 100 calls, emails, texts from other broadcasters, from fans, from friends and from other winners who were so thrilled that Bill had won. It was heartwarming to hear from so many people who are all sharing in this. I even got three calls from minor league broadcasters telling me how much the learned from Bill.”\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Other reaction from those who knew or worked with King:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

He was very erudite, loved language, had great command of it, but infused that language with tremendous energy and enthusiasm and passion. He felt strongly about certain topics, both in the game and out of the game. He loved German food. He loved the opera.

I really got to know him, and he had the best stories. What I remember is him wearing flip-flops everywhere, and that was the least of it. He was a character. … When I went into the Hall with (King’s broadcast partner) Lon Simmons, I thought Bill would be there before long, but I was starting to think that he would be forgotten.

Our thoughts are with his family.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Henderson began his career in Seattle as the first draft pick in the history of the Mariners franchise in 1977. He made his debut in 1981 and played parts of six seasons with the Mariners. Henderson was traded to Boston during the 1986 season and later played for San Francisco and Kansas City.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"He was a devoted father to his two sons and always willing to help someone in need,\" Mariners President Kevin Mather said in a statement. \"Dave was one of the most popular Mariners in our history, but Dave was also one of the most popular players in Red Sox and A's history. He had a special ability to connect with people, both inside the game and in the communities in which he lived. I never saw him at the ballpark, or on the golf course, without a big smile on his face.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After his playing career ended, Henderson spent time as a broadcaster for the Mariners and ran fantasy camps for A's and Mariners fans. He also raised funds to support research of Angelman Syndrome, a genetic disorder that affected his son, Chase.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Henderson was born July 21, 1958, in Merced, California.

Henderson had a kidney transplant in late October.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Henderson was best known for his home run in the 1986 AL Championship Series for Boston. With the Red Sox one strike from elimination in Game 5, Henderson hit a two-run homer in the top of the ninth against the California Angels to send the series back to Boston. The Red Sox won Games 6 and 7 to advance to the World Series.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"His home run in Game 5 of the 1986 ALCS was a signature moment in Red Sox history, and we shared his unbridled joy when he hopped into the air as the ball cleared the fence in Anaheim,\" Red Sox President Sam Kennedy said in a statement. \"Hendu played just two seasons in Boston, but we always regarded him as one of us, and are grateful for the time we were able to enjoy his talent and infectious personality.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But beyond his memorable playoff moment, Henderson was a reliable contributor to four teams that reached the World Series and played 14 seasons total in the majors. His greatest success came from 1988-91 with Oakland. During that four-year stretch, the A's went to the World Series three times.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

"content": "\u003cp>For the first time in four years, there will be no postseason baseball in the Bay Area. Both the A’s and Giants finished out of playoff contention wrapped up their seasons on Sunday. That’s bad news for fans. But for one of the hardest-working people in Bay Area sports, it’s a chance to catch his breath.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For the last 21 years, Clay Wood has been obsessed with the look and feel of grass and dirt. While most Californians are letting their lawns crisp up and wither away during a five-year drought, Wood is making sure his is perfectly spongy and just the right hue of green.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Wood’s “lawn” is the playing field at the Oakland Coliseum, where he is the head groundskeeper. The Coliseum is the last stadium in the country that’s shared by a Major League Baseball and an NFL team. So by this time of the year, Wood’s job can be, well, frustrating.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Thinking that it’s 2015, it’s asinine, I mean it’s just crazy that they can’t figure out a stadium situation,” Wood says. “It’s been 21 years now since the Raiders have been back, and we’re still in the same place we were in 1995.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>During the baseball-only season, essentially April to mid-August, Oakland’s field is considered one of the best in baseball, by both A’s players and those from opposing teams.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But that all changes after the A’s start taking turns with the Raiders. To go from football back to baseball is a massive operation. Dozens of workers, including stagehands, crane operators and janitors, must all work in tandem to remove extra seating from the outfield and infield grass, change signage, swap the tarps that cover the top deck seating, and exchange goal posts for foul poles.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3hn_6rcaPIE&w=560&h=315]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Clay and his modest crew of eight have their hands full making the conversion. After a football game, or sometimes two in a row (as was the case before the last A’s homestand), the grass of the facility can get pretty roughed up.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While the football game itself takes a toll on the turf — it is, after all, a sport centered around men slamming other men into the grass with great force — Wood says it’s the changeover itself that really hurts. In order to facilitate the movement of huge, heavy cranes that place and remove extra football seating, layers of plywood and felt are laid over the outfield grass, creating a makeshift roadway. Wood likens the treatment to suffocation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s like if somebody were to take you and duct tape your mouth, and lock you in a closet, and while they’re at it, duct tape your nose, too, so you can’t breathe. Basically, the turf — it’s a living, breathing thing; it needs sun, it needs water, it needs all those things to live, and when it’s covered with plywood and hundreds of tons of cranes, it’s not getting any of those things.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Athletics’ vice president of stadium operations, David Rinetti, marvels at the ease with which Wood and his small crew handle the changeover, saying it’s like watching magic. They’ve done it so many times, they know the routine backward.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“But they’re also perfectionists,” Rinetti says. “They want the field to be perfect. They treat it as if it’s their baby, and they do everything possible to protect it, and to make it so it will be playable for our games here, for baseball.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For the baseball players, especially the outfielders, the difference between April and September turf is big. After coming home from a recent road trip, A’s outfielder Sam Fuld said returning to the post-changeover grass reminded him a bit of his high school baseball field in New Hampshire, which was like a cow pasture.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s just more uneven, and on ground balls you just have to really focus in, and not take anything for granted, and realize that there’s a good chance you’re going to get a bad hop,” Fuld says. “You have to be conservative.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As for Wood, seeing the field he and his crew have labored over change from a masterpiece of cross-hatched green grass and finely detailed dirt into a trainwreck of neon-yellow crusty turf and divots — it hurts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s kind of a punch in the gut,” Wood says. “How does it get from that point to this point? In April, May, June, all the way up until that first conversion, my crew and I, we put in a ton of time and we take a ton of pride in what we do, and try to make it the best possible playing surface that we possibly can. And then all that work and all that effort and everything is just kind of out the window.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With the future of where both the A’s and the Raiders will play still up in the air — like a towering pop fly, or a Hail Mary that just won’t come down — there’s no way to know when the Coliseum in Oakland will be home to just one sport and one field. The Raiders’ current lease expires at the end of this football season.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So for now, the man tasked with running the only remaining professional football and baseball facility in America doesn’t know whether he’s done the last baseball-to-football changeover of his career. And he’s not wistful about the possibility.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Right now, to be honest, I’m tired, really tired and looking forward to a break,” Wood says. “And, unfortunately, that’s going to mean baseball coming to an end, but that’s just the way it goes some years.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Wood and his grounds crew are also in charge of the field for the Raiders’ season, but he says it’s a more manageable schedule with less of those very long days. It will be about five months before they remove every last inch of the grass from the stadium, and lay down brand new sod just before baseball begins again in the spring.\u003c/p>\n\n",

Both the A’s and Giants finished out of playoff contention wrapped up their seasons on Sunday. That’s bad news for fans. But for one of the hardest-working people in Bay Area sports, it’s a chance to catch his breath.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For the last 21 years, Clay Wood has been obsessed with the look and feel of grass and dirt. While most Californians are letting their lawns crisp up and wither away during a five-year drought, Wood is making sure his is perfectly spongy and just the right hue of green.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Wood’s “lawn” is the playing field at the Oakland Coliseum, where he is the head groundskeeper. The Coliseum is the last stadium in the country that’s shared by a Major League Baseball and an NFL team. So by this time of the year, Wood’s job can be, well, frustrating.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Thinking that it’s 2015, it’s asinine, I mean it’s just crazy that they can’t figure out a stadium situation,” Wood says. “It’s been 21 years now since the Raiders have been back, and we’re still in the same place we were in 1995.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>During the baseball-only season, essentially April to mid-August, Oakland’s field is considered one of the best in baseball, by both A’s players and those from opposing teams.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

To go from football back to baseball is a massive operation. Dozens of workers, including stagehands, crane operators and janitors, must all work in tandem to remove extra seating from the outfield and infield grass, change signage, swap the tarps that cover the top deck seating, and exchange goal posts for foul poles.\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/3hn_6rcaPIE'\n title='//www.youtube.com/embed/3hn_6rcaPIE'\n allowfullscreen='true'\n style='border:0;'>\u003c/iframe>\n \u003c/span>\n \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Clay and his modest crew of eight have their hands full making the conversion. After a football game, or sometimes two in a row (as was the case before the last A’s homestand), the grass of the facility can get pretty roughed up.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While the football game itself takes a toll on the turf — it is, after all, a sport centered around men slamming other men into the grass with great force — Wood says it’s the changeover itself that really hurts. In order to facilitate the movement of huge, heavy cranes that place and remove extra football seating, layers of plywood and felt are laid over the outfield grass, creating a makeshift roadway. Wood likens the treatment to suffocation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s like if somebody were to take you and duct tape your mouth, and lock you in a closet, and while they’re at it, duct tape your nose, too, so you can’t breathe. Basically, the turf — it’s a living, breathing thing; it needs sun, it needs water, it needs all those things to live, and when it’s covered with plywood and hundreds of tons of cranes, it’s not getting any of those things.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Athletics’ vice president of stadium operations, David Rinetti, marvels at the ease with which Wood and his small crew handle the changeover, saying it’s like watching magic. They’ve done it so many times, they know the routine backward.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“But they’re also perfectionists,” Rinetti says. “They want the field to be perfect. They treat it as if it’s their baby, and they do everything possible to protect it, and to make it so it will be playable for our games here, for baseball.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For the baseball players, especially the outfielders, the difference between April and September turf is big. After coming home from a recent road trip, A’s outfielder Sam Fuld said returning to the post-changeover grass reminded him a bit of his high school baseball field in New Hampshire, which was like a cow pasture.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s just more uneven, and on ground balls you just have to really focus in, and not take anything for granted, and realize that there’s a good chance you’re going to get a bad hop,” Fuld says. “You have to be conservative.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As for Wood, seeing the field he and his crew have labored over change from a masterpiece of cross-hatched green grass and finely detailed dirt into a trainwreck of neon-yellow crusty turf and divots — it hurts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s kind of a punch in the gut,” Wood says. “How does it get from that point to this point? In April, May, June, all the way up until that first conversion, my crew and I, we put in a ton of time and we take a ton of pride in what we do, and try to make it the best possible playing surface that we possibly can. And then all that work and all that effort and everything is just kind of out the window.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With the future of where both the A’s and the Raiders will play still up in the air — like a towering pop fly, or a Hail Mary that just won’t come down — there’s no way to know when the Coliseum in Oakland will be home to just one sport and one field. The Raiders’ current lease expires at the end of this football season.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So for now, the man tasked with running the only remaining professional football and baseball facility in America doesn’t know whether he’s done the last baseball-to-football changeover of his career. And he’s not wistful about the possibility.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Right now, to be honest, I’m tired, really tired and looking forward to a break,” Wood says. “And, unfortunately, that’s going to mean baseball coming to an end, but that’s just the way it goes some years.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

He was 91.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Giants announced that Simmons had died “peacefully,” saying, “The Giants family and Bay Area sports community lost a true gentleman.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Simmons was one of the original voices of the Giants when they moved West in 1958, and he covered Hall of Famers Willie Mays and Willie McCovey, Juan Marichal, Gaylord Perry and Orlando Cepeda.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Like many fans, my earliest Giants memories were listening to Lon and Russ on my transistor radio,” Giants President and CEO Larry Baer said. “Hearing his broadcasts ignited my and thousands of others’ passion for Giants baseball. He will be deeply missed by all of us.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Simmons called Oakland’s victory in the earthquake-interrupted 1989 Bay Bridge World Series, with that booming voice, announcing, “The A’s have won the World Series in a sweep!”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Over three stints with the Giants, Simmons considered one of his greatest thrills getting to call Mays’ 600th home run. His signature phrase on the longball became, “Tell it goodbye!”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If they had a Nobel Prize for baseball, Willie would have won it,” Simmons said during Mays’ 80th birthday festivities in May 2011.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He also announced many of home run king Barry Bonds’ drives during his pursuit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“R.I.P #LonSimmons you will forever be in our hearts. Broadcasting Bay Area sports since 1958,” Bonds posted on Twitter.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Simmons, who was honored with the Ford C. Frick Award by the Hall of Fame in 2004, also had a famous call on Hall of Fame quarterback Steve Young’s epic, back-and-forth game-winning scramble for 49 yards against the Minnesota Vikings on Oct. 30, 1988, that still lives in the memories of Bay Area sports fans.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Young, back to throw, in trouble, he’s going to be sacked. No, gets away, he runs, gets away again, goes to the 40, gets away again, to the 35, cuts back at the 30, to the 20, the 15, the 10. He dives. Touchdown, 49ers!”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ahead of the Niners’ final season at Candlestick Park in 2013, Simmons reflected on the run-down stadium where he did most of his work. Simmons often took shots at himself and that humor became part of his charm, along with his baritone voice and personable nature.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I felt that Candlestick and I were soul mates: We were both big and ugly, we were both windy and they could never figure out how to get rid of either one of us,” Simmons said. “As John Brodie used to say about Candlestick, he said, ‘We have the advantage when we play at home, I have the advantage because I’ve played in the wind and things and I know what the ball’s going to do.’ The guys come in to play one game a year and the winds and stuff killed them because it really did affect the ball throwing it.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Simmons — who spent much of his time in the radio booth alongside Russ Hodges — dealt with cancer more than once in recent years. He requested not to have a memorial service, the Giants said. He attended selected games last season and still worked as a community ambassador for the Giants after retiring in 2002.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’m grateful for the support of the Bay area fans,” Simmons said upon being selected winner of the Ford C. Frick Award. “The fans are more important to me than anything else because those are the people I tried to please the 40 years.”\u003c/p>\n\n",

He was 91.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Giants announced that Simmons had died “peacefully,” saying, “The Giants family and Bay Area sports community lost a true gentleman.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Simmons was one of the original voices of the Giants when they moved West in 1958, and he covered Hall of Famers Willie Mays and Willie McCovey, Juan Marichal, Gaylord Perry and Orlando Cepeda.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Like many fans, my earliest Giants memories were listening to Lon and Russ on my transistor radio,” Giants President and CEO Larry Baer said. “Hearing his broadcasts ignited my and thousands of others’ passion for Giants baseball. He will be deeply missed by all of us.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Simmons called Oakland’s victory in the earthquake-interrupted 1989 Bay Bridge World Series, with that booming voice, announcing, “The A’s have won the World Series in a sweep!”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Over three stints with the Giants, Simmons considered one of his greatest thrills getting to call Mays’ 600th home run. His signature phrase on the longball became, “Tell it goodbye!”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If they had a Nobel Prize for baseball, Willie would have won it,” Simmons said during Mays’ 80th birthday festivities in May 2011.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He also announced many of home run king Barry Bonds’ drives during his pursuit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“R.I.P #LonSimmons you will forever be in our hearts. Broadcasting Bay Area sports since 1958,” Bonds posted on Twitter.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Simmons, who was honored with the Ford C. Frick Award by the Hall of Fame in 2004, also had a famous call on Hall of Fame quarterback Steve Young’s epic, back-and-forth game-winning scramble for 49 yards against the Minnesota Vikings on Oct. 30, 1988, that still lives in the memories of Bay Area sports fans.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Young, back to throw, in trouble, he’s going to be sacked. No, gets away, he runs, gets away again, goes to the 40, gets away again, to the 35, cuts back at the 30, to the 20, the 15, the 10. He dives. Touchdown, 49ers!”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ahead of the Niners’ final season at Candlestick Park in 2013, Simmons reflected on the run-down stadium where he did most of his work. Simmons often took shots at himself and that humor became part of his charm, along with his baritone voice and personable nature.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I felt that Candlestick and I were soul mates: We were both big and ugly, we were both windy and they could never figure out how to get rid of either one of us,” Simmons said. “As John Brodie used to say about Candlestick, he said, ‘We have the advantage when we play at home, I have the advantage because I’ve played in the wind and things and I know what the ball’s going to do.’ The guys come in to play one game a year and the winds and stuff killed them because it really did affect the ball throwing it.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Simmons — who spent much of his time in the radio booth alongside Russ Hodges — dealt with cancer more than once in recent years. He requested not to have a memorial service, the Giants said. He attended selected games last season and still worked as a community ambassador for the Giants after retiring in 2002.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’m grateful for the support of the Bay area fans,” Simmons said upon being selected winner of the Ford C. Frick Award. “The fans are more important to me than anything else because those are the people I tried to please the 40 years.”\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

It was the first postseason grand slam by a shortstop in major league history. (Justin K. Aller/Getty Images)\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Update, Thursday:\u003c/strong> The Bay Area now knows the official colors for October baseball in these parts: Orange and Black. (We're still aching about the Green and Gold; we'll get over it by, say, next February.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Anyway, the official Bay Area color scheme is in order because of the San Francisco Giants' 8-0 thumping of the Pittsburgh Pirates on Wednesday night. The Giants will start their best-of-five National League Division Series on the road Friday afternoon against the Washington Nationals.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Giants, whose roster includes veterans of the team's World Series victories in 2010 and 2012, rode a dominant performance by left-handed ace Madison Bumgarner and a display of clutch hitting up and down the lineup. Brandon Crawford hit a grand slam in the fourth inning -- the first postseason grand slam by a shortstop in major league history -- to give the Giants a 4-0 lead and silence what had been a raucous Pittsburgh crowd. First baseman Brandon Belt added three RBIs and catcher Buster Posey drove in one.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Friday's game in Washington starts at noon PDT.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Update, 12:05 a.m. Wednesday:\u003c/strong> Well, let's look at this from a Kansas City fan's point of view for a second: Can you believe the way the Royals, playing their first postseason game since the Reagan administration, kept coming back and coming back? First in the seesaw early innings. Then, down by 7-3 in the bottom of the 8th, facing the A's specially acquired postseason stopper, Jon Lester, they launched a rally that brought them back to 7-6. They tied the game in the bottom of the 9th, against the A's once-indomitable closer, Sean Doolittle. Then after the A's seized the lead once again, 8-7 in the top of the 12th, the Royals staged one last surge for \u003ca href=\"http://mlb.mlb.com/mlb/gameday/index.jsp?gid=2014_09_30_oakmlb_kcamlb_1&mode=box\" target=\"_blank\">a walk-off 9-8 win\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Wow.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=\"mzOs1MPsCUR3TiLZzXps9qfJfZCqz0AA\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And from an Oakland fan's perspective? Well, wow again. I mean, it's not exactly like the idea of an A's defeat is a shock. The team has spent the better part of the last couple of months losing, and by Tuesday their partisans were good and used to it. They might have hoped for the best, but they'd seen too much to expect it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But to lose the way that they did? After two homers and five RBIs from the reawakened Brandon Moss? With six outs to go, up four runs, Lester on the mound? Failing to hold the lead, twice, when they had pushed Kansas City to the brink? Yeah, tip your hat to the the Royals for showing real heart. But for the Athletics and their faithful, that was a savagely soul-wrenching way to go down. It's a game to be filed in the catalog of A's playoff memories right alongside the immortal \"Slide, Jeremy, Slide\" game (2001) and the Great Verlander Shutdowns of 2012 and 2013.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, there is one community of Bay Area baseball fans -- talking to you, Giants Nation, or whatever you call yourselves -- who are unaffected by Tuesday evening's diamond tragedy. The Giants take the field in Pittsburgh for their wild-card game against the Pirates at 5 p.m. PDT Wednesday. If you're in the city, the team is\u003ca title=\"http://sanfrancisco.giants.mlb.com/sf/fan_forum/ps_rally.jsp\" href=\"http://sanfrancisco.giants.mlb.com/sf/fan_forum/ps_rally.jsp\" target=\"_blank\"> staging a party at AT&T Park starting at 4 p.m.\u003c/a> followed by a free viewing of the game in the stadium.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Original post (3:30 p.m. Tuesday):\u003c/strong> Brace yourselves, Giants and A's fans -- your fifth-place teams are about to get a chance for baseball immortality.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yes, the Oakland Athletics, the fifth-place team in the American League, are at Kansas City this evening for their wild-card playoff game against the Royals. Wednesday, the fifth-place San Francisco Giants take on the Pittsburgh Pirates in the National League wild-card game.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The prize for each team, should they win their games: a chance to move on to the best-of-five division series in each league. For the A's, beating the Royals would mean a series against the AL West champion Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim. For the Giants, a victory in Pittsburgh will send them to Washington, D.C., to face the Nationals. And if they win \u003cem>those\u003c/em> matchups, what possibly could prevent a Bay Bridge series?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But let's not get ahead of ourselves, OK?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The big question for Oakland and its fans is what A's team will take the field at Kansas City's Kauffman Stadium. Yes, ace lefthander Jon Lester, the big-game pitcher acquired from the Boston Red Sox at the end of July, will start against the Royals. And yes, Lester seems like a good bet to do his part and keep the A's in the game.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the rest of the team? That's another matter.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When the A's sent power-hitting outfielder Yoenis Cespedes to Boston in exchange for Lester, they had the best record in baseball. They reached their highwater mark Aug. 9, when they beat the Minnesota Twins 9-4 at the Coliseum, bringing their record to 72-44. They were still in first place by four games over the Angels, still acclaimed by many as the best team in the majors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And then they began to lose. And lose. And lose. In their final 46 games, the A's won 16 and lost 30. A team that most had seen as a lock to make the playoffs struggled, stumbled and staggered in the season's final weeks, failing to clinch the American League's second wild-card spot until the final game of the season against the AL West cellar-dwellers, the Texas Rangers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sooner or later, someone will come up with the equation-driven sabermetrical explanation for what happened to the A's. The leading theory among fans and the more algebra-challenged among us is that there's no simple explanation. But we're sure that some or all of the following played a part: the loss of Cespedes' presence in the lineup; injuries to some key players, including shortstop Jed Lowrie and catcher-DH John Jaso; the prolonged hyperslump of outfielder-first baseman Brandon Moss; the evaporation of some vital but indefinable team chemistry.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>(Go ahead and add your theory here, or check out a couple of excellent analyses: from Grantland: A Clockwork Oakland: \u003ca href=\"http://grantland.com/the-triangle/oakland-athletics-slump-al-west-race-yoenis-cespedes-factor/\" target=\"_blank\">What the Heck Happened to the Once Great A's?\u003c/a> And, from Wendy Thurm on Medium: \u003ca href=\"https://medium.com/the-cauldron/what-has-happened-to-the-oakland-as-b44d56bfcefe\" target=\"_blank\">It Wasn't Supposed to be Like This for the A's\u003c/a>.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rightly or wrongly, the outcome of tonight's game will be something of a referendum on the Lester trade, says Rick Tittle, who hosts the A's pre- and postgame shows on 95.7-The Game.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If Lester goes out there tonight and doesn't get it done, if he has an off night as anyone can, then people will say the trade was a failure. And even if Lester has a great night, there's still a chance the A's won't score any runs for him. The bottom line is winning an American League pennant for (A's general manager) Billy Beane, which he's never had; and then maybe winning the World Series as well; but the first hurdle is this winner-take-all wild-card game.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But enough of the A's and travails.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The San Francisco Giants also have made the playoffs. And, thinking about what the team did during \u003ca href=\"http://espn.go.com/mlb/playoffs/2010/matchup/_/teams/rangers-giants\" target=\"_blank\">the 2010\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"http://espn.go.com/mlb/playoffs/2012/matchup/_/teams/tigers-giants\" target=\"_blank\">2012\u003c/a> seasons, you wonder whether there's something about the Giants, even numbered years and destiny.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Giants' regular season seemed like two or three different seasons rolled into one: an amazingly fast break from the gate to leap far ahead of its NL West competition; a profound funk that allowed the archrival Los Angeles Dodgers to overtake them; and a recovery over the last six weeks or so that allowed the team to give the Dodgers a scare before settling for the second wild-card spot.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Like the A's, the Giants have never been part of this one-game wild-card format, which was introduced in 2012. But they have been in high-pressure postseason games in the last few years. Tittle thinks that experience gives the Giants an advantage:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>“This is a battle-tested team, with a fantastic pitcher, Madison Bumgarner, on the mound, and I really like their chances. The Giants are a team that has been tested on the road in huge playoff games. You think about winning the World Series in Texas in 2010, you think about winning the World Series in Detroit in 2012. And in that same 2012 season, backs against the wall in Cincinnati, elimination games in St. Louis, and they came through every time.”\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Some fans say they're not in love with the new wild-card format, which functions as more of a \"play in\" than playoff. But Tittle's take is different:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Nothing's more exciting in baseball than a Game 7, and the beauty of the wild-card game is that it's a Game 7 on the first day of the postseason. It keeps the season alive for so many fans, and it makes every single game meaningful. You can ask people in Seattle or Milwaukee or Cleveland, whose teams got eliminated in the last few days, if they'd like to have a game or two they lost in April or May back again. Fans will say it isn't fair, after 162 games in the regular season, to have everything come down to one game, but I have zero sympathy for any team that didn't win their division.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Many fans will gather to watch Tuesday night's game at the \u003ca href=\"http://thenewparkway.com/wp/\" target=\"_blank\">New Parkway Theater\u003c/a> in Oakland (sold out, but check to see if they've added a second theater) or at sports bars like \u003ca href=\"http://www.rickys.com\" target=\"_blank\">Ricky's\u003c/a> in San Leandro.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Giants are hosting \u003ca href=\"http://sanfrancisco.giants.mlb.com/sf/fan_forum/ps_rally.jsp\" target=\"_blank\">a wild-card party at AT&T Park at 4 p.m. Wednesday\u003c/a>.

(We're still aching about the Green and Gold; we'll get over it by, say, next February.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Anyway, the official Bay Area color scheme is in order because of the San Francisco Giants' 8-0 thumping of the Pittsburgh Pirates on Wednesday night. The Giants will start their best-of-five National League Division Series on the road Friday afternoon against the Washington Nationals.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Giants, whose roster includes veterans of the team's World Series victories in 2010 and 2012, rode a dominant performance by left-handed ace Madison Bumgarner and a display of clutch hitting up and down the lineup. Brandon Crawford hit a grand slam in the fourth inning -- the first postseason grand slam by a shortstop in major league history -- to give the Giants a 4-0 lead and silence what had been a raucous Pittsburgh crowd. First baseman Brandon Belt added three RBIs and catcher Buster Posey drove in one.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Friday's game in Washington starts at noon PDT.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Update, 12:05 a.m. Wednesday:\u003c/strong> Well, let's look at this from a Kansas City fan's point of view for a second: Can you believe the way the Royals, playing their first postseason game since the Reagan administration, kept coming back and coming back? First in the seesaw early innings. Then, down by 7-3 in the bottom of the 8th, facing the A's specially acquired postseason stopper, Jon Lester, they launched a rally that brought them back to 7-6. They tied the game in the bottom of the 9th, against the A's once-indomitable closer, Sean Doolittle. Then after the A's seized the lead once again, 8-7 in the top of the 12th, the Royals staged one last surge for \u003ca href=\"http://mlb.mlb.com/mlb/gameday/index.jsp?gid=2014_09_30_oakmlb_kcamlb_1&mode=box\" target=\"_blank\">a walk-off 9-8 win\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Well, wow again. I mean, it's not exactly like the idea of an A's defeat is a shock. The team has spent the better part of the last couple of months losing, and by Tuesday their partisans were good and used to it. They might have hoped for the best, but they'd seen too much to expect it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But to lose the way that they did? After two homers and five RBIs from the reawakened Brandon Moss? With six outs to go, up four runs, Lester on the mound? Failing to hold the lead, twice, when they had pushed Kansas City to the brink? Yeah, tip your hat to the the Royals for showing real heart. But for the Athletics and their faithful, that was a savagely soul-wrenching way to go down. It's a game to be filed in the catalog of A's playoff memories right alongside the immortal \"Slide, Jeremy, Slide\" game (2001) and the Great Verlander Shutdowns of 2012 and 2013.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, there is one community of Bay Area baseball fans -- talking to you, Giants Nation, or whatever you call yourselves -- who are unaffected by Tuesday evening's diamond tragedy. The Giants take the field in Pittsburgh for their wild-card game against the Pirates at 5 p.m. PDT Wednesday. If you're in the city, the team is\u003ca title=\"http://sanfrancisco.giants.mlb.com/sf/fan_forum/ps_rally.jsp\" href=\"http://sanfrancisco.giants.mlb.com/sf/fan_forum/ps_rally.jsp\" target=\"_blank\"> staging a party at AT&T Park starting at 4 p.m.\u003c/a> followed by a free viewing of the game in the stadium.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Original post (3:30 p.m. Tuesday):\u003c/strong> Brace yourselves, Giants and A's fans -- your fifth-place teams are about to get a chance for baseball immortality.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yes, the Oakland Athletics, the fifth-place team in the American League, are at Kansas City this evening for their wild-card playoff game against the Royals. Wednesday, the fifth-place San Francisco Giants take on the Pittsburgh Pirates in the National League wild-card game.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The prize for each team, should they win their games: a chance to move on to the best-of-five division series in each league. For the A's, beating the Royals would mean a series against the AL West champion Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim. For the Giants, a victory in Pittsburgh will send them to Washington, D.C., to face the Nationals. And if they win \u003cem>those\u003c/em> matchups, what possibly could prevent a Bay Bridge series?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But let's not get ahead of ourselves, OK?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The big question for Oakland and its fans is what A's team will take the field at Kansas City's Kauffman Stadium. Yes, ace lefthander Jon Lester, the big-game pitcher acquired from the Boston Red Sox at the end of July, will start against the Royals. And yes, Lester seems like a good bet to do his part and keep the A's in the game.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the rest of the team? That's another matter.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When the A's sent power-hitting outfielder Yoenis Cespedes to Boston in exchange for Lester, they had the best record in baseball. They reached their highwater mark Aug. 9, when they beat the Minnesota Twins 9-4 at the Coliseum, bringing their record to 72-44. They were still in first place by four games over the Angels, still acclaimed by many as the best team in the majors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And then they began to lose. And lose. And lose. In their final 46 games, the A's won 16 and lost 30. A team that most had seen as a lock to make the playoffs struggled, stumbled and staggered in the season's final weeks, failing to clinch the American League's second wild-card spot until the final game of the season against the AL West cellar-dwellers, the Texas Rangers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sooner or later, someone will come up with the equation-driven sabermetrical explanation for what happened to the A's. The leading theory among fans and the more algebra-challenged among us is that there's no simple explanation. But we're sure that some or all of the following played a part: the loss of Cespedes' presence in the lineup; injuries to some key players, including shortstop Jed Lowrie and catcher-DH John Jaso; the prolonged hyperslump of outfielder-first baseman Brandon Moss; the evaporation of some vital but indefinable team chemistry.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>(Go ahead and add your theory here, or check out a couple of excellent analyses: from Grantland: A Clockwork Oakland: \u003ca href=\"http://grantland.com/the-triangle/oakland-athletics-slump-al-west-race-yoenis-cespedes-factor/\" target=\"_blank\">What the Heck Happened to the Once Great A's?\u003c/a> And, from Wendy Thurm on Medium: \u003ca href=\"https://medium.com/the-cauldron/what-has-happened-to-the-oakland-as-b44d56bfcefe\" target=\"_blank\">It Wasn't Supposed to be Like This for the A's\u003c/a>.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rightly or wrongly, the outcome of tonight's game will be something of a referendum on the Lester trade, says Rick Tittle, who hosts the A's pre- and postgame shows on 95.7-The Game.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If Lester goes out there tonight and doesn't get it done, if he has an off night as anyone can, then people will say the trade was a failure.

Commissioner of Baseball\u003c/a> — or rather, on a key part of the city’s case that focuses on Major League Baseball’s exemption from federal antitrust law.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>San Jose officials filed the suit last year in an attempt to force major league owners to let the Oakland A’s relocate to the South Bay. That move has been blocked for five years by the San Francisco Giants, the franchise that holds baseball’s territorial rights to San Jose and the rest of Santa Clara County.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Today’s action is an appeal of a lower court’s \u003ca href=\"http://www.mercurynews.com/ci_24290747/judge-dismisses-san-jose-antitrust-claims-against-mlb\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">dismissal of most of San Jose’s case\u003c/a>. A three-judge panel will hear about 20 minutes of oral argument from each side. The judges aren’t expected to issue a ruling until sometime this fall, and either side might appeal their decision to the U.S. Supreme Court. Tuesday’s proceedings will be streamed live \u003ca href=\"http://www.ca9.uscourts.gov/media/view_video.php?pk_vid=0000006503\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In advance of the hearing, I spoke with Nathaniel Grow, a law professor at the University of Georgia who specializes in sports law and has written \u003ca href=\"http://www.press.uillinois.edu/books/catalog/56snn7zy9780252038198.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">a book\u003c/a> on the \u003ca href=\"http://supreme.justia.com/cases/federal/us/259/200/case.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">1922 Supreme Court ruling\u003c/a> that has protected the major leagues from antitrust actions in the past.
