Athletics Election

The Oakland Athletics received good election news on Tuesday, as the Fremont voting favored candidates who support a new stadium:

Incredibly, the results paint a rather favorable picture for the A's and their hopes to get the baseball village built. Several potential obstacles in Fremont have been removed. Incumbent mayor Wasserman, who has been the staunchest public proponent of the project, will stick around to see it through the EIR process at the very least. Wieckowski, also a supporter, will be there as well. They'll be joined by Chan, who is also a project supporter. Neither of the project's biggest critics, former mayor Gus Morrison and Sierra Club chapter leader Vinnie Bacon, placed higher than third in their races.

As the post points out, there are still obstacles, but Lew Wolff won't need to worry about too much opposition from politicians.

Now is an excellent time to embark on a major residential and commercial real estate project! Especially in California!

This is interesting from a nomenclature point of view,
Freemont A's?
Alameda A's?
East bay A's?
South Bay A's?
california A's
Norcal A's?

It does allow for a triple A team to move to oakland and resurrect the oaks. Maybe the modesto A's would like better digs?
