A's to Fremont
ESPN has the story that the A's will announce soon that they're moving to Fremont. This is sure to provoke all kinds of reactions from the fans who live in the area, go to the games, etc. I'm not one of those fans, so this move will impact me far less than it will them. The only effect on my end will be whether Lew Wolff will see revenues rise enough to authorize an increase in payroll. The happy thing, from the standpoint of "I'm never in favor of public funding for stadia," is that the stadium will apparently be privately funded (it's supposed to cost about $300 million).
