The Race Between Shovels And Schadenfreude

Talk about two teams moving in opposite directions. A week after Dave Kaval’s “state of the new ballpark” report at FanFest, hoping for a city vote this summer that will officially allow the A’s to break ground at Jack London Square, comes news that Peralta College’s continued financial woes have placed them on probation.

Now there is some good news for the teachers who opposed a new ballpark at the site of Peralta College’s administrative offices. No increase in traffic is expected anywhere near Peralta College, and in fact traffic figures to decrease if the college goes under and all the teachers are left without a job.
