The Oakland firestorm of 1991 and it’s aftermath On October 19th, 1991 a grass fire started near 7151 Buckingham Blvd, Oakland Ca.

do well in a hitters ballpark. Bradford did. No one thought that Bradford would become a reliable reliever in the big leagues. Bradford became one. I found out about Chad Bradford in July of 2005 when the Boston Red Sox acquired him from the Oakland Athletics for an outfielder by the name of Jay Payton. I found out more about him from the book Moneyball: The Art of Winning an Unfair Game by Michael Lewis, who devotes a whole chapter to the righty reliever. In Moneyball, Lewis tells the…

On Thursday, June 15th, I parked in the 4 hour parking area on Everett Street in El Cerrito, near the El Cerrito Plaza Bart Station, in order to take BART to the Warriors Parade in downtown Oakland. I first attempted to park at the BART station, but the lot was full. I parked just before 10:00am and caught the train from El Cerrito Plaza to Lake Merritt Station to catch the parade near the end. It took about 30 minutes to get from where I parked to where I watched the parade (21 minute BART…

We got ready and were waiting for my husband’s friends to pick us up, so they did. Secondly, we finally arrived the stadium in Oakland, it looked like bigger and ghetto to me. I…

asked again – “where are you going to college?” I’d prefer the Bloomin’ Onion to this any day of the week. “Oakland Community College” It was forced out, as if I had choked on the garden salad that had been delivered moments earlier. The waitress seemed pleased with my response, but she was lying. She must have been. No one could possibly enjoy community college, right? Walking out of the Oakland University gym with the graduating class of Waterford Kettering High School, it seemed everyone had…
