Face It: San Francisco Doesn’t Want Giants

A small prediction: Come 1995, the San Francisco Giants, in last place, attendance under a million and still in Candlestick Park, will be looking for a place to go. Anyplace, because San Francisco doesn’t want them.

One thing Peter O’Malley and his fellow owners forgot was that San Francisco is no longer the city of Lefty O’Doul, Slip Madigan and Joe DiMaggio.

The City ain’t the City anymore. So let them go to Keokuk or Ashtabula or wherever, and the few baseball fans who remain in the Bay Area can cross the bridge and visit picturesque Oakland.
