as i was looking through the San Jose Mercury News online i saw something that grabbed my attention. the A's coming to San Jose???? I had known that they were perhaps coming to Fremont but San Jose would be a totally different story. as i read the article i thought to myself; where would the stadium go? where would the money come from when are economy is slipping? the reason why this article interested me so much was the fact that i had thought that the A's organization had already struck a deal in Fremont and that is where they were going to be relocating to. when the idea of the A's coming to San Jose it struck some ideas in my head. it made me think about how people in San Jose would react to this. would it affect the ticket sales of other teams such as the sharks or the Stealth? or how about the San Jose Giants a minor league team whose stadium is located right by our own sjsu south campus. the article was also interesting to me because i am interested in sports. so anything to do with our local sports team is something that i would be interested in writting about. it is apparent that by doing further research into this subject that many citizens with the downfall of the economy and the traffic that the stadium would produce that they do not want the stadium to be built in there city. perhaps the city of san jose will be getting a professional baseball team??

Hey Shane,
ReplyDeleteI found your blog interesting because I had no idea that the A's may be moving to San Jose. As you addressed I thought that Fremont was there new home. It may also be because I dont follow sports. My ten year old brother knows more about it then I do. This seems like a good topic for you because it interests you so much. You did a good job explaining your topic. I look forward to reading more of your posts. Good job.

Hi Shane :)
ReplyDeleteSo, I don't know much about baseball. Actually, I don't really know anything about baseball except that maybe Alex Rodriguez took steriods? But anywho, I saw the headline for this a couple of days ago, but I didn't think it was such a big deal. After reading your blog, I learned why it is such a big concern to most people; so many questions not yet answered. I look forward to possibly reading more from you on this topic.
