appleclock Posted November 14, 2006 Share Posted November 14, 2006 Just as long as there's none of this "Silicon Valley A's"... that sounds so single A league to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 14, 2006 Share Posted November 14, 2006 Just as long as there's none of this "Silicon Valley A's"... that sounds so single A league to me.Oakland would be best, but I can live with Fremont. At least Fremont, unlike "Silicon Valley," is an actual place that you can point to on a map. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LMU Posted November 14, 2006 Share Posted November 14, 2006 San José is ideal. It taps into the third largest city in CA, with its booming technology-based industry, while distancing itself from the preconception of Oakland as well as any ties to the Raiders. Plus, I don't see why Oakland should still be used as the city when the city is what created Mount Davis and failed to pony up anything to keep the team in town.

Guest Posted November 14, 2006 Share Posted November 14, 2006 San Jose is supposed to belong to the Giants, though. Magowan will have a fit. At least with the Angels fiasco, they had the same territorial rights as the Dodgers since they were meant to be the American League's Los Angeles representative. For some reason, the Giants and A's don't have the same Bay Area territory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
josh_cat_eyes Posted November 15, 2006 Share Posted November 15, 2006 I say just leave it Oakland. Thats always what it was, right? It would be like renaming the rangers the Brooklyn Rangers. And beside the San Jose Sharks first or second arena (Cow Palace) is in San Francisco and they didn't become the San Francisco Sharks!!Cat Eyes - Josh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KevinMcD Posted November 15, 2006 Share Posted November 15, 2006 I say just leave it Oakland. Thats always what it was, right?They used to be the Kansas City Athletics and the Philadelphia Athletics. But all the time they were in California they were called the Oakland A's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
