It’s been a good start to the week for San Francisco Baseball Associates LLC, which owns the San Francisco Giants (our favorite squadron) and 50% of the Mission Rock real estate development, the neighborhood surrounding Oracle Park. Or, they want us to believe it’s been a good week. I have my doubts.
Yesterday, Susan Slusser wrote an article that examined the Mission Rock project, and opened it by asking the question asked by players and agents from across MLB: “Are [the Giants] a real-estate company or a baseball team?” But if you’ve followed the development of China Basin and the construction of Oracle Park, then you’ve known for a long time — 35 years almost!
