I'm writing a book. It's about Oakland. I usually work on it early in the morning, at night, in whatever pockets of time I can squirrel away from my three year old. It's always hard yanking myself out of the draft. Depending how long I'm away, it's even harder re-immersing myself in it. 🧵

Also went digging through some old Oakland Tribune archives. The people in the history room at @oaklibrary.bsky.social are maybe the kindest people on earth.

I’m so excited to finally share this: I’m writing a book! It’s about Oakland—its rise as a great American sports town, its fall to the billionaires who abandoned it, and, most of all, the fans and activists and founders who fought to hold onto this aspect of the city’s identity and soul.

Finished The Pacific Circuit by @alexis-madrigal.bsky.social. So very good. Infuriates, illuminates, & captures Oakland's centrality to other larger infuriating stories all at same time. Elegantly synthesizes a shit ton of research / reporting. Weaves a good yarn. My pages runneth over w/ notes. 👏

Played in my high school’s alumni baseball game yesterday. Got a few ABs and some time on the bump. Gave it my all—had to, in front of the boy. Today I’m icing everything. I regret nothing.

The new Jeff Passan deep-dive on the A's and Ray's stadium dysfunction is excellent as usual but I wish it would have included a challenge to this: the idea that billionaire team owners NEED public funding in order to build what turn out to be purely privately valuable stadiums. They don't.
