We started this exercise in the Bay Area, and we’re going to come full circle and end here with the American League’s franchise in Northern California.

If Billy Beane and co. have their way, we’ll be coming up with a name for a new park instead of the coliseum, perhaps the ...

SunTrust (I think that’s right) is the youngest ballpark ...

All right, we’ve got three ballparks remaining, and I want to get this finished in the slim chance the lights go off.
