Documenting history -- Local icon and legendary sports photographer Michael Zagari took this extraordinary photo of San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick for the cover of Time magazine last fall. Kapernick's decision to kneel during the national anthem to protest police brutality has spread across major sports and has become a topic of national debate, further fanned by President Trump. Speaking at a rally in Alabama on Friday, Trump said, "Wouldn't you love to see one of the NFL owners, when somebody disrespects our flag, to say 'Get that son of a bitch off the field right now?'" At the start of NFL games on Sunday, many team members and owners linked arms or knelt and the stance has now been repeated in Major League Baseball. On Saturday and Sunday Oakland A's rookie catcher Bruce Maxwell knelt at the Coliseum. (Zagaris has been a San Francisco 49ers photographer since 1972 and an Oakland A's photographer for over 30 years.) |

San Francisco Giants Update
San Francisco Giants Update:
Excellent Giants pitching was on full display this week, allowing no more than three runs in all but one of their five games. Johnny Cueto and Matt Moore started the week for San Francisco, slowing down a high-powered Colorado Rockies offense. Cueto gave up only two runs in 6.2 innings pitched, while Moore threw six scoreless innings to earn his sixth win of the season. Both of these pitchers have had their ups-and-downs throughout the season, including Cueto incurring an arm injury in August. Hopefully they can end the season on a high note to gain more confidence heading into the offseason. Giants starters had a tougher time in Los Angeles against the NL West champions. Madison Bumgarner, however, was in his World Series form, allowing one run in 7.2 innings and earning the win. The team enters the final week of the regular season with a 61-95 record. The Giants will look to stave off 100 losses in Arizona against the Diamondbacks, before ending the season at AT&T Park against the San Diego Padres.

Oakland Athletics Update:
Though the team may not be headed to the playoffs in October, last week the Athletics played as if their playoff lives were on the line. The A's swept the Tigers in Detroit before coming home to sweep the Texas Rangers and extending their win streak to seven games. Lately the team has been firing on all cylinders. The pitching staff has allowed three or less runs in all but one of the games on the current win streak, while the offense has scored six or more runs in four of the games. Sunday afternoon's game was the exclamation point, with the Athletics blowing out the Rangers 8-1 behind five scoreless innings from Jharel Cotton and Khris Davis's 41st
home run of the season. The Athletics finish the 2017 season with one last week of divisional play. On Monday the A's will look to continue the streak at the Coliseum against the Seattle Mariners, before heading to Texas to close out the season.

How Technology Is Changing the Business of Sports
BUS 172 -- Quarter: Fall; On-campus course; Sept. 26-Oct. 31, Drop Deadline: Oct. 9; Tuition: $450; Status: Open; Day(s): Tuesdays; Duration: 6 weeks; Time: 7 p.m. -- 8:50 p.m.; Unit: 1; Instructor: Andy Dolich
Like all businesses, the sports world is adapting to satisfy the new demands of customers (while expecting increases in profitability, of course). Most of the evolution in the sports world is being spearheaded by technological advances. These changes are powerfully modifying the interaction between the sports provider and the sports consumer. The range of change is multidimensional, creating new entrepreneurial opportunities and unique business models.
This course will bring into the classroom industry experts who will discuss how newer technologies are embedded in, and driving, these developments, including (1) "wiring" of arenas and stadiums of the future to enhance the fan experience; (2) analytics and metrics impacting not only athlete selection and performance, but also the knowledge level of fans; (3) management challenges of building a global fan base that permits expansions across the world; (4) virtual-reality spectatorship for those not at the actual event; (5) new interactive opportunities for fan engagement; and (6) emergence of esports (new franchises and leagues). Each session will include an extensive question-and-answer session to cover entrepreneurial ideas related to the week's topics.
Scheduled participating speakers include:
* Jamie Zaninovich, Deputy Commissioner/Chief Operating Officer, Pac 12 Conference
* Sally Ann Reiss,Founder and CEO, PlayyOn
* David Koppett, Vice President of Content Strategy, NBC Sports Bay Area
* Bill Schlough, Senior Vice President & CIO, San Francisco Giants
* Tracy Hughes, Founder and CEO, Silicon Valley Sports Ventures

William "Dummy" Hoy helped create the hand language of baseball

I Got Your Apple Watch Right Here!
By Andy Dolich
|
The man at the historical heart of the recent Apple watch controversy between the Boston Red Sox and the New York Yankees is William Ellsworth Hoy. He played for 18 seasons as a pro and died in 1961 at the age of 99.
Followers of baseball history may know him by his nickname, "Dummy."
William "Dummy" Hoy was the first deaf player to have a long career in the major leagues, playing for the Cincinnati Reds, Chicago White Sox and the original Washington Nationals. He batted .288 with 2,054 hits, appearing in 1,798 major league games.
As a graduate of the Ohio School for the Deaf, Hoy was a pioneer in the creation of hand signals in baseball games. He taught his teammates to communicate in sign language.
Umpire Bill Klem is credited by many for being the originator of hand signals in 1905 but accounts of Hoy's signals go back to 1888, long before an Apple was referred to as anything but edible.
Baseball hand signals used by umpires, managers, coaches, and player-to-player, at every level of the game, can be traced back to William Ellsworth Hoy. I'm guessing that none of the players or coaches on the Red Sox or Yankees knew of Hoy's contribution to the National Pastime.
The world of technology is impacting all sports, with baseball having a literal sign of the times change caused by an Apple Watch. MLB investigators looked into claims that the Red Sox used the hi-tech watches to steal hand signals from opponents' catchers. The Apple watches would tell them what type of pitch was being thrown, which would be relayed.
Commissioner Rob Manfred said he's had complaints from players about sign stealing and how it impacts the pace of play with men on base. He described sign stealing as "a form of behavior that we should not tolerate" and there are rules that would regulate the use of electronic devices being used.
On September 15 the Commisoner fined the Red Sox an undisclosed amount, getting to the core of the Apple dispute. He used this penalty as a reminder to the rest of the league that the use of electronic devices to steal signals during games is strictly prohibited.
Sign stealing, which consists of one team intercepting the hand signals of another team, has been a part of baseball since the days of "Dummy."
In 1951 it was reported that the New York Giants used a telescope from center field to read signs from opposing catchers. Information was then sent to Giants players from the bullpen.
As technology advanced, so have the methods of cheating. In 1997, the New York Mets were accused of using a small camera near home plate at Shea Stadium to peek at catchers. In 2011 the Philadelphia Phillies were accused of using binoculars to watch the opposing teams' catchers. Instant replay video has also helped teams catch signs and trends from catchers and pitchers.
"
Applewatchgate" has focused attention on the unspoken world of baseball signs. William Ellsworth Hoy, nobody's "Dummy," should be enshrined in the Hall of Fame because he helped create the international hand language of baseball.

Laney College has been tapped by the Oakland A's as their choice of location to build a new stadium |
These are interesting times for a longtime A's fan. Deep into the third straight year of really lousy baseball, there are some genuinely encouraging signs that the youth movement might actually be taking hold. Its way more fun watching promising young players like the two Matts (Olson and Chapman) on the infield corners and Chad Pinder in right field, than the basket of retread depolorables with which the team started the season.
Early in the season, Billy Beane tied the youth movement into the goal of producing a contending team by the time a new stadium might be available. To that end, not only was some dead wood jettisoned (see, e.g. Trevor Plouffe, Adam Rosales, Rajai Davis, et al.), but the team's best starter (Sonny Gray) and two best relievers (Sean Doolittle and Ryan Madson) were sent away for allegedly promising minor leaguers. The A's seemed determined to prove the obvious: if you take a mediocre staff and trade its best pitchers, you're going to have really bad pitching. Hopefully it will be worth suffering through in the long term.
So, should we hang in? Is this all going somewhere, like towards a new stadium? Maybe is all I can say. New team president Dave Kaval has been making all the right moves: constantly re-iterating a commitment to Oakland, sprucing up the Coliseum a bit and undertaking a well-publicized search for a site to start construction in a few years. Certainly no one is missing his predecessor, Lew "Oakland sucks" Wolff. Still, while Wolff is gone, the team's majority owner John Fisher remains.
The A's just announced that of three potential sites for a privately-financed stadium, they had selected what is known as the "Laney College" site. Its currently occupied by a small administrative building for Laney (which the team would buy and replace elsewhere) and some BART property which they apparently think they can buy. There is some logic to the choice: it's on the fringes of downtown, right by 880 and very close to the Lake Merritt BART stop. There is also a process of elimination at work: the "Howard terminal" site has serious access issues and other problems. The A's claim that the current Coliseum site, which is "shovel-ready", is not financeable.
The site is not without challenges, however, and this being Oakland, there will be a fair amount of opposition to be worked through and bought off. All of which makes me wonder if this is one last sucker play: if this falls apart, the A's have their excuse to leave town or hit Oakland up for more money. "You want us at the Coliseum? Fine, you finance it." Kaval really does seem like a good guy so I hope I'm wrong. But here's one thing I'm sure of: by the time this gets built, if ever, the two Matts, Chad and the rest will be hitting free agency. If they're still around, it really will be a new day in Oakland.
Jonathan Siegel represents individual employees and unions at Siegel LeWitter Malkani in downtown Oakland, where he hopes someday to be able to walk to a new A's ballpark. [email protected]

Multi-Ethnic Sports Hall of Fame to Induct McClymonds Basketball Team
|
The Multi-Ethnic Sports Hall of Fame will induct Oakland's entire McClymonds basketball team into its Hall of Fame in October. From 1958 to 1962 McClymonds was arguably the greatest high school basketball team of all time. Over a three-year period the team was undefeated, with a record of 68 wins and no defeats, and extended its record to 110 wins and one loss. As a result, they were voted the mythical National Champions, the best high school team in America. The event will be held from 6 p.m. to 10 p.m. on Oct. 11 at Scott's Seafood Pavilion, #2 Broadway, in Oakland.

Sports Prep Star --
Makaela
Tanaka
Archbishop Mitty-San Jose
-- Volleyball -- Senior
|
Makaela Tanaka, the All-American setter bound for Fordham next fall, was the Monarchs' lone All-Tournament selection at the prestigious Nike Durango Fall Classic in Las Vegas from Sept. 15-16. Mitty went 6-1 at the tournament and took fifth place in the Championship Division. Tanaka had 181 assists over the two days, averaging 12 per set. She also sprinkled in 29 digs, six kills and five blocks. In the fifth-place game against a Torrey Pines team, which had defeated them earlier in the season, the Monarchs battled back from a 25-16 loss in the first set to win the next two, 25-16, 25-18. Tanaka had 38 assists and 13 digs in the match. Mitty's strong road trip pushed its record to 12-4 on the season. The Monarchs opened their West Catholic Athletic League (WCAL) schedule with a 3-0 win at St. Francis-Mountain View. Every WCAL match will be a grind, but the team's first showdown with St. Ignatius-San Francisco on Sept. 26 will likely be a matchup of the top two teams in the SportStars NorCal Top 20.
