Coronavirus: Bay Area sports teams unite to provide material for face masks

You don’t typically see the A’s and Giants — or the Warriors and Kings — working from the same playbook. But these, of course, are not typical times.

Those teams, along with the 49ers, Sharks and Earthquakes, have joined with NBC Sports and San Francisco-based bag manufacturer Timbuk2, in a united effort to produce 50,000 face masks and bandanas during the coronavirus crisis.

Error 0:

The fabric Timbuk2 is using comes directly from humongous heaps of T-shirts that were to be handed out to fans during themed promotional giveaways. Obviously, ballparks and arenas have gone quiet during the pandemic, so that souvenir swag you would have received during baseball’s opening day in Oakland or San Francisco just might end up as a facial covering.
