After 43 years, the Athletics say Oakland represents the past and the future
lies in San Jose. The San Francisco Giants believe San Jose belongs to them.
For more than two years, Bud Selig has not made a decision, but the clock is
ticking on a team that has nowhere to go.
43年後，運動家隊表示奧克蘭 (Oakland)代表著過去，他們的未來在聖荷西(San Jose)
。舊金山巨人隊深信聖荷西屬於他們。兩年多過去了，Bud Selig沒做出決定，但時間一
分一秒流逝著，有支球隊將無處可去
NEAR THE END OF LAST SUMMER, Carl Guardino, the 49-year-old president of the
Silicon Valley Leadership Group, sent a letter to baseball commissioner Bud
Selig. Guardino is from San Jose, born and raised, attended the now-defunct
Blackford High School and then stayed home for college at San Jose State
University. As a kid, he watched the old minor league San Jose Missions. As
a man he remembers his blue-collar childhood: packing picnic baskets of tuna
sandwiches in the family's wood-paneled station wagon in the late 1960s and
early '70s to drive to Candlestick Park to watch the San Francisco Giants.
去年夏季接近尾聲時，49歲的矽谷領袖集團 (Silicon Valley Leadership Group)總裁
Carl Guardino送了封信給大聯盟主席Bud Selig。Guardino來自聖荷西，在那出生、長
大，就讀於現在已不存在的Blackford High School，然後留在家中唸聖荷西州大。小時
候他觀看小聯盟球隊San Jose Missions。成年後，他記得那藍領童年 (譯註: San Jose
Missions的球衣): 60年代末期以及70年代初，將裝有鮪魚三明治的野餐籃放在家中的休
旅車中，開往Candlestick Park觀看舊金山巨人比賽
Guardino approached Selig not as a fan but as an advocate of the third-largest
city in California (behind Los Angeles and San Diego) and the 10th-largest
city in the nation to make an argument: his San Jose, long ago a dusty
San Francisco outpost, now had been grown up for 20 years
