Congratulations are in order to the A’s for upholding their grand tradition of making the most challenging site choice possible to build a new ballpark. We knew they could do it, and somewhere in the Fremont bayside marshlands, the frogs and crickets are applauding.
In announcing the Peralta site near Laney College as their No. 1 preference, the A’s picked the location with the greatest obstacles, the loudest opposition, the least amount of parking and the longest period of development to completion. Excellent!
Good lord, it sounds like a movie – 2023: A Ballpark Odyssey. Yes, buckle up, kids.
