San Francisco Giants & Bryce Harper
A Big Fish swims away. Highly coveted free agent Bryce Harper was an addition much prized by many San Francisco Giants fans and management did not disappoint, reaching out with an offer in the neighborhood of 12 years and $310 million. But California state taxes may have sullied the waters and Harper didn't bite, instead signing with the Philadelphia Phillies for essentially the rest of his playing career. Harper was also familiar with Oracle Park and, as seen above, appeared in a three-game series between April 23-25, 2018. His performance over the three games? Eight at-bats, one hit, two strikeouts, five base-on-balls, scored twice, seven left-on-base, and no RBIs.
Batting average on April 25, 2018, .260.

Sonoma Raceway --
Charity Karting Event
Three NHRA Funny Car Champions Headline -- Proceeds Benefit Speedway Children's Charities
SONOMA, Calif. (Feb. 12, 2019) - Adrenaline seekers and racing enthusiasts can go head-to-head against four stars of the NHRA Mello Yello Drag Racing Series on the Sonoma Raceway kart track at the 17th annual NHRA Tour de Charity on Saturday, March 23.
Three NHRA Funny Car Champions will headline this year's event, as reigning champion JR Todd joins long-time participants Ron Capps and Jack Beckman, as well as Pro Stock Motorcycle rider Scotty Pollacheck. This popular event provides an all-inclusive day of karting fun on the raceway's ¾-mile kart track, including kart rental, race suit, helmet, professional driving instruction, catered lunch, plus meet-and-greets and autographs with the NHRA racers for just $350 per person.
All proceeds benefit Speedway Children's Charities, the charitable arm of Sonoma Raceway, which has generated more than $175,000 from this event since its inception in 2003.
"I've heard so much about this event from Ron and Jack, and there's been a lot of trash talking about who's fastest in a kart, so I'm excited to finally have a chance to put the rubber to the road," said Todd, a three-time Sonoma Raceway winner. "The fact that the proceeds benefit SCC and helps kids makes it even better."
The Simraceway Performance Driving Center, which operates the karting center, provides the karts, race suits, classroom instruction and on-track pointers for all competitors. The day will also feature a chance for the top-10 participants to compete in a 10-lap timed race at the end of day. All karting levels are welcome. Participants must be 13 years or older, 4'10" in height, and weigh less than 250 lbs.
"I love this event and that it benefits Speedway Children's Charities," said 15-year participant John Montes of Oakley. "I couldn't think of a better charity that helps out the kids of Sonoma County, and I will continue to come out here year after year."

Sports Prep Star -- Kyle Parco
De La Salle-Concord
-- Wrestling -- Senior
Kyle Parco, the Fresno State-bound grappler, could not have charted a better path to close out his Spartans career. First, Parco won his third North Coast Section championship by defeating Upper Lake's Jose Fernandez III, 7-5, in the 132-pound championship on Feb. 16. That title qualified him for his fourth straight CIF Wrestling Championship appearance and he made the most of it. Parco went 5-0 over three days in Bakersfield on Feb. 21-23. He was the top seed in the 132-pound bracket and opened the tournament with three straight pins. His 1-0 victory over Clovis North-Fresno sophomore Ryan Franco delivered the state title, just the second ever for the De La Salle program.

Roll Call at the Hall of Fame
Arif Khatib, in his younger days, was, among other things a record label owner and concert and boxing promoter. In 2000, feeling burned out, he took a trip to Tahoe to clear his head out and came up with a vision. Thus was born the Afro Sports Hall of Fame, which eventually became the Multi-Ethnic Sports Hall of Fame (MESHOF), a Bay Area non-profit which has inducted 64 athletes and helped countless others. Their mission is,
"to broaden and enhance the public's understanding of multi-ethnic history and the role that diversity and cultural tolerance plays in the growth of professional sports."
At this year's 19
th
annual induction and community awards ceremony at Scott's Seafood at Jack London Square in Oakland, Khatib passed the torch to new president Mickey Hall. I asked what he was most proud of. "The wide acceptance of the honorees all over the world. I knew it would have an impact, especially when I call them to say they've been inducted. A while back we changed the name of the organization from 'Afro' to 'Multi-Ethnic' so we could induct anyone. The idea has always been to inspire people and honor those athletes who should not be forgotten, who left it all on the field--and often gave back to the community. It's never been about me. And I want to make sure that every person who comes to this event leaves with a memory."
Mission accomplished. Early in the evening eight individuals were honored with community awards in a variety of fields, including: Rachel Chambers and Arthur Renowitzky (Don't Give Up Award), Jeff Meyer and Joe Hawkins (Community Trailblazer Award), Leslie West (Founders Award), Tal Tashombe (Community Sports Advocate Award), Vince Owens (Mark Manning Tennis Award) and Elisha Greenwell (Entrepreneur of the Future Award).

Incoming MESHOF president Mickey Hall has been involved in the Bay Area non-profit sector for several years. As CEO of Triple Play, a tech company, she is combining three worlds to achieve awareness and help people. She describes her mission as, "the triple play of weed, music and tech." Hall speaks passionately about issues; "People of color need to catch up," she says, and, "we need more women on board." At Friday's awards event, we witnessed the confluence of sport, service, and courage. I asked Mickey to speak on that connection. "Arif's vision was to celebrate, encourage and support what athletes can do on-and-off the field." I asked Hall about her plans for MESHOF going forward, now that she's transitioned from volunteer to president.
"
We want to bring this organization into the digital age, be more out in the community. Our goal is to get youth involved in other aspects of sports, to find students that are passionate about tech as well." In addition to her work for the Hall, she is on staff at the
Oakland Public Education Fund
and is a member of the
Oakland mayor's Council on Aging.
This year there were six inductees into the Hall. From the world of track and field came
Larry Walls,
who ran with John Carlos, Lee Evans and Tommie Smith at San Jose State in the 1960s and went on to work in the DA's office in Los Angeles County, eventually founding a foundation to help scholar-athletes.
Lynne Rolley
became a national junior's champion and then a celebrated tennis coach who has taught the Williams sisters, Lindsay Davenport and Jennifer Capriati; she is also a renowned speaker and tennis writer. Bay Area baseball personality
Shooty Babbitt
was inducted, honoring a career that has lasted 42 years. Currently a scout for his hometown A's, Shooty acknowledged the great athletes who came before him and inspired him to reach for the sky as a player; he now inspires others as a mentor to Bay Area youth. Former Philadelphia Eagles and Oakland Raiders All-Pro linebacker
Jerry Robinson
was also inducted and in his light-hearted speech described a journey from Santa Rosa to UCLA to 13 seasons in the NFL.
But it was former San Francisco 49ers tight end and Super Bowl champion
Eason Ramson
who delivered the most compelling and heartwarming story of the evening, chronicling his descent into drug addiction and prison and his eventual recovery, with the help of his coach, the late Bill Walsh. Ramson is co-founder of the Center of Academic Re-entry and Empowerment (CARE), currently working with truant youth to turn their lives around.

There was one inductee who, sadly, was not present to accept his honor and that was the late baseball player Glenn Burke, who passed away in 1995. With his sisters and niece present, Glenn was inducted by his friend, East Bay filmmaker Doug Harris, who produced and directed the brilliant documentary,
OUT: The Glenn Burke Story.
"
Glenn was the greatest athlete the city of Berkeley has ever produced," Harris reminded the crowd.
Burke was genuine, funny, vibrant, soulful and brave. After two years with the Los Angeles Dodgers he was basically run out of town by homophobic management and when he arrived to the Bay Area shortly after as an Oakland Athletic, his childhood dream, he encountered Billy Martin. Martin, like Glenn, had played as a youth at Bushrod Park in North Oakland and for Berkeley High. But Martin was woefully intolerant and made Glenn's life so miserable he quit baseball at only 27 years old. Burke's life spiraled downward after that and he passed away from AIDS at 42, Jackie Robinson's number.
Lutha Burke, Glenn's older sister who cared for him in his last months, spoke movingly about her younger brother from the podium. "He was a great athlete, and a better person."
Burke, of all the inductees, may have given the most. He was the first athlete of any major sport to come out as a gay person and paid the price. But his spirit and legacy will live forever, thanks to folks like Doug Harris, Arif Khatib, Mickey Hall and MESHOF.

From 2000-2005 I wrote a column for the late great Oakland Athletics Fan Coalition (OAFC) entitled
Elman Swings,
a play on the fact that I'm a musician. Some of you may remember the OAFC, an East Bay organization that at its peak had several thousand members devoted to keeping the A's in Oakland and guess what? They've succeeded. Perhaps one or two of you might remember my articles (more like rants) about baseball and society. So when the Ultimate Sports Guide asked me to compose regular screeds for this weekly blast called
Outlaw's Outtakes, how could I say "No?" ('Outlaw' is their nickname for me.) -- Pete Elman
