Tonight on State of the Bay, we’ll get the latest on the Oakland Athletics’ bid for a new waterfront ballpark at Howard Terminal. Or will the A’s be moving to Las Vegas after all? Joining us for the latest will be Steve Berman, staff writer for the Athletic.
Plus, we’ll speak with Elizabeth Funk, founder and CEO of DignityMoves, about her community of temporary homes that could be an important part of the solution to homelessness.
Finally, we’ll hear from Michael Goldberg about his new book Wicked Game, a biography of guitarist Jimmy Wilsey.
Tune in tonight at 6pm PT on KALW 91.7 FM in the San Francisco Bay Area or stream live!
On tonight’s State of the Bay, we’ll ask: can Oakland keep the A’s? The major league baseball team owners hope to build a stadium on the waterfront, but some local employers worry it would harm the maritime economy at the port of Oakland. And what would happen to the current coliseum site?
Joining us to discuss will be:
- Dave Kaval, President of the Oakland A’s
- Mike Jacob, General Counsel for the Pacific Merchant Shipping Association
- Ray Bobbitt, Founder of the African-American Sports Entertainment Group
With a prerecorded statement by Oakland Councilmember Rebecca Kaplan.
Plus Grace Won talks with Tienlon Ho about her new cookbook, Mr. Jiu’s in Chinatown.

Spring is finally, officially here with the start of baseball season. In celebration of the sport and my favorite team, the Oakland A’s, here’s my 2007 song (and 2012 video) Champions:
Play ball!
