So there we were at Jack London Square, taking a gander at nearby Howard Terminal, one of the A’s proposed ballpark sites. There were three of us — me, longtime Bay Area sports executive Andy Dolich and video ace Courtney Cronin–and we were setting up for shot with Dolich and I discussing the pros and cons of the location.

Meanwhile, a grade school girl named Soren Mansfield was with her family at the adjacent ferry terminal. She saw us and wandered over to ask what we were doing.
