The 7 train to Citifield(Shea stadium). Johnny Rocker told me how to get there.

Oracle Park is beautiful. It’s not just SF. It’s the game. Leave it to those in charge to give us the universal DH. It’s like football now where they have to keep changing the rules. Taxes-probably the biggest unspoken reason. The 49ers/Rams/Chargers attract players but I’m sure taxes factor in. The NFL draft allows them to pick players who have no say where they’re employed.

“Unspoken, but understood, is the Red nature of the states.”

Particularly not having Income Taxes which are horrific in some of the Blue States, for their level of income.

The A’s rescued the Giants. Then the Giants turned around and forced the A’s out

Universal DH rule sucks. That's not baseball as we know it. It takes away strategy from the game. I suppose it was inevitable. Pitchers are making so much money that teams are no longer willing to risk them to bat.

“Posey made a comment in December that caused an uproar from the fan base, but it could be playing a factor in why they aren’t landing free agents.

“Something I think is noteworthy, something that unfortunately keeps popping up from players and even the players’ wives is there’s a bit of an uneasiness with the city itself, as far as the state of the city, with crime, with drugs,” Posey told Andrew Baggalry of The Athletic. “

I wonder where do they all live? Certainly not in the city.

MLB players overwhelming list Florida and Arizona as permanent residence. Still have to pay state taxes wherever they play, game by game.

I wouldn’t take a job in Cali unless the pay was so ridiculous that I wouldn’t care about taxes.

“Certainly not in the city. “

Napa.

But they have to go through it to get back and forth from the ball park. It’s unavoidable.

Could it be all the pot in the stands?

It's everywhere in the big cities.

At the minimum, there should be a public nuisance charge.
