I feel for Dave Kaval. Squarely amidst his absolute worst week as A’s President (wild card loss and contending with a lawsuit by the city that he is “Rooted” in), he already had a pre-planned design meeting with the San Francisco Bay Conservation and Development Commission (i.e. the BCDC), where he had to gamely attend and put his best foot forward to pitch the A’s ballpark plan for the thousandth time to yet another group of public decision-makers.
But, in some ways, the timing was good, because after a week of horrible news for A’s fans, there was a reminder of the bright possibilities that are still very much in play for the team, the fans, and the city.
