Christmas is set to return in February, if you're an Oakland A's fan who lives in San Jose.
Rumor has it that the worst team with the worst attendance in major league baseball will finally be given permission to leave the their rundown and tired home at Oakland Coliseum for a shiny new stadium in The Capital of Silicon Valley.
I'm not sure why, but the San Francisco Giants, who have been fighting the move for years, have said they will continue to work to block the move. At any rate, if it all goes according to plan, the San Jose A's could to be ready to play ball in their new home by 2014 or 2015.
With the recent announcement that the Golden State Warriors were looking to build a new arena near AT&T Park in San Francisco and the Oakland Raiders considering a return to Los Angeles (boring), I'm wondering if Jean Quan (Oakland's beleaguered mayor) is beginning to second guess her decision to run for that office.
I mean, would you really want your political legacy to be the mayor that lost THREE major league sports franchises?
