my team play. New ballparks don't, just magically, spring up with pennant contenders. I love the coliseum for the reasons you mentioned. Which other ballparks have those attributes? Take Bart to the park and it drops you off (almost) right at the front door. Greedy owners like Wolf and his ilk want huge revenues from corporate clients. That's why he's hell-bent on moving to San Jose, and silicon valley. That area is, and always has been Giant's fertile ground for SF fans, with the San JOse Giants minor league team playing there for 60 years.

We also have winter leagues that play all winter. I Go to a few of those games too. I see many good players who play for the love of the game and are super good...they just haven't had the one chance.

Love to see that.
