San Francisco Giants, Oakland Athletics to establish ballpark employee fund

The Oakland Athletics and San Francisco Giants will each establish $1 million employee relief fund to start a safety net for ballpark employees at the Oakland Coliseum and Oracle Park, the Bay Area baseball teams announced on Tuesday.
