The Oakland/San Jose Athletics Baseball Club of Fremont, California
The A's are moving to Fremont. I wonder:
- How will this affect traffic, business, and housing costs in the lower East Bay?
- What will the team's new name be? (It's been confirmed that the name will end with "of Fremont". Terrible.)
- Why is everyone in such an uproar about the new location when the current "baseball" stadium is situated in the middle of an depressing industrial complex?
- How much will it cost me for a churro?
How much do people actually know about Fremont? For one thing, it supposedly has the largest Afghan population in the United States (the only source for this is Wikipedia but I read this in the paper once). Also, Dennis Eckersley and M.C. Hammer are from Fremont. Bust it!
