tv   KTVU FOX 2 News at 5pm  FOX  March 28, 2024 5:00pm-6:01pm PDT

5:00 pm
ktvu, fox two news at five starts now. >> now at five. the beginning of the end of an era at the oakland coliseum. a's fans are flocking to the stadium, but not to watch their favorite team. >> for a lot of us, we feel like the team is being stolen from us with no say in it. so this is kind of how we're voicing our displeasure. >> good evening. i'm julie julie haener and i'm mike mibach. >> it is opening day in the city of oakland, and right now sky fox is above the oakland coliseum, giving us this live picture down at the parking lot. the a's set to kick off their season in just a couple of hours here, but there is a big dark cloud overshadowing today's festivities. that is the team's planned move to las vegas. >> yeah, a lot of fans are frustrated and protesting the season, declaring it the summer of boycott. we have team coverage for you on this opening day. ktvu jason appelbaum live
5:01 pm
inside the coliseum for us tonight, but we begin with ktvu zac sos who was there when the parking lot gates open for all the fans. >> all right, zach, how's the energy? >> i mean, the energy is high, but definitely a different opening day spirit than you would expect at most major league baseball games. as you said. it is a boycott. and look all around you, the message is pretty clear. this is what a's fans are calling their summer of boycott. the first day of their summer boycott. flags all over that say, sell the team. these fans are urging a's owner john fisher to sell the team, scrap his plans to move to las vegas. they have been, creating those same protests, throughout the season. last year, these fans, again, joined by organizers from several fan groups, including the last dive bar. they're hoping other fans attending will see them here and skip the game, too. earlier, i spoke with mike bucci, a councilman from newark, taking part in this boycott.
5:02 pm
here's what he had to say. >> i think it's going to be a powerful message when we have 30,000 people out here and 6000 people in there to let folks know that, you know, we're still here. we're we're still ace proud. we're bleed our green and gold, and we're going to be here for the team and, we hope that, you know, something happens. many a slip between a cup and the lip. so, you know, i've seen six versions of renderings and none of them have come to fruition in. >> so organizers say they're expecting some 20 to 30,000 fans to take part in this boycott in the parking lot today. it doesn't look like they have quite that number yet. but, you know, it's still early during the fifth inning. we'll see how many they have because they're planning to do a chant during the fifth inning of sell the team out here. and they're hoping that fans inside can hear them loud and clear back to you guys. >> so, zach, all the fans around you there, those fans are planning to stay in the in the
5:03 pm
lot. they're not going into the game at all. >> nope. they plan to stay out here. they've got plenty of food. they have games behind me. music. and that's how they plan to keep occupied. >> all right. well, and it's a decent day. it's dry out there. it'll be at least no rain for them out there in the parking lot as they continue their, i guess, protest of the team's relocation to possible vegas. all right, zach, thank you. >> now, as for the team, some new faces on the ballclub as the a's do look to start this new season with a big win. >> that's right. our jason appelbaum inside the coliseum. now with more on the team and the story of a history making new announcer for the oakland a's, jason, yeah. julie. we're going to get to that in a moment, but i think it's a legitimate question, will there be more fans outside the ballpark today than inside? i mean, that's something that we've never even, you know, plausibly discuss. but according to what zac sos just told us, it could be 25,000 people outside. if that's the case, it's going to be relatively empty in here. but here's the deal with baseball. opening day hope springs eternal. the a's finish
5:04 pm
with 112 losses last year, the most in franchise history. but the beauty of opening day, as we take a look over my shoulder here and we roll some tape of the a's on the field earlier, is that everybody is tied for first, if you will. so the oakland a's, they're only picked to win 56 games this year. that's the lowest over under win total in many, many decades. but you never know. that's the thing. opening day started today alex wood after 11 big league seasons including the last three in san francisco, he makes his first ever opening day start and the story that you mentioned earlier, jenny cavnar, she's going to be making history. she was out on the field, a few moments ago. she's going to become the first female primary play by play announcer in major league history. when she takes the mic and she's on the call and a couple of hours, and we recently sat down with kavner and asked her about the magnitude of this moment.
5:05 pm
>> i'm overwhelmed. right. i'm very, very excited about this job. it's a dream job, for sure, but i think the exciting part is in ten years, i'm not going to be the first. this this isn't the last, you know? and 2018, when i got the chance to call a major league baseball game for the colorado rockies, it began a journey for me in my career that i didn't even know existed. when i started out in sports broadcasting. so i think it's kind of this culmination, this overwhelming feeling of your dreams really can come true. and it's never too late to start a new dream. >> yeah. jenny kavner will be on the call with, with dallas braden, he of the perfect game on mother's day. many years ago. he will do the color announcing for nbc sports california. as you take a look at the cleveland guardians out on the field now, i want to tell you, the guardians have another interesting story, which we'll talk about in the 6:00 hour. their manager is stephen vogt, and a's fans will remember him well. his he played with the
5:06 pm
a's, his final at bat. he hit a home run and the crowd went nuts, and that was two seasons ago. so we'll have his story coming up at 6:00. but for now, that's what we have from the coliseum. back to you guys in the studio. >> yeah. jason, do you get a sense the players or management of the team, with all the kind of fate of what the team is going and where they're going to be in the future, kind of does it affect them or do they just kind of stay laser focused on the game itself? >> i think the only thing really that affects them right now is all the questions they get about it. otherwise they're trying to stay laser focused. they they have to worry about earning their paycheck. so to speak. a lot of these guys, especially for the a's, they're not superstars. so their focus is on becoming great ballplayers and trying to, you know, potentially get the next big contract where they play in three years or four years or next year. i don't really think it's on their mind, except when all of us in the media keep asking about it. otherwise, i think they're focused on what happens between
5:07 pm
the lines. >> all right, well, we will look forward to seeing you in the next hour. coming up tonight at six for more on all of this. jason. >> thank you. thanks jason. all right. let's give you a check of traffic on this thursday evening. this is interstate 880, right near the coliseum. i'm a little slow going in that southbound direction, but the northbound direction, it's smooth sailing. even the frontage road there looks pretty decent. again. first pitch between oakland and cleveland, 707 tonight. so just a couple of hours from now, the gate there in the parking lot was scheduled to open at 5:00, but, again, it did open earlier just after 4:00 this afternoon. >> well, giants fans were out earlier today to watch their team play, even though the giants season opener was out of town. it was in san diego. we found giants fans across the street from oracle park today at momo's bar and grill. the game was on, as you would imagine, on every screen there, so they could watch the giants play their home opener at oracle a week from tomorrow. some of the fans say they never missed giants opening day games.
5:08 pm
>> i've been going, i've been going the last couple of years, so i've definitely tradition. >> now i work, you know, right on the block where the park is and i love orange. so go giants. yeah >> the giants did lose their opener on the road to the padres 6 to 4. they play in san diego san diego tomorrow saturday and on sunday. and by the way, you can catch saturday's game right here on ktvu. first pitch is at 415. all right. >> a lot of people want to clean up the tenderloin in the city of san francisco, including a mayoral candidate. it's a very hot topic. ktvu is christian captain joins us live tonight from san francisco with more on this proposal. christian >> yeah. mike, the candidates are saying that they want to declare a state of emergency in san francisco. one of them even talking about bringing in the national guard, all in an effort to try to make the streets in the tenderloin safe and clean.
5:09 pm
street conditions in the tenderloin and south of market have been a challenge for years in san francisco. now, with a mayoral race picking up steam, the candidates are pitching their plans to make the streets safer. mayoral candidate mark farrell said he would declare an emergency to bring more state resources to address street conditions in the tenderloin, since the city doesn't have enough police officers to do it on its own. >> and therefore we've been letting this drug crisis continue to fester and continue to grow on our streets. to me, that's unacceptable. we need solutions, we need results, and if that requires asking the state and the federal government for additional law enforcement personnel, i'm prepared to do exactly that up to and including national guard. yes, absolutely. >> san francisco's current mayor , london breed, says the state already has assets on the ground here that are making a difference. she says a lower overall crime rate last year is an indication that her administration is beginning to make progress against a problem. decades in the making. >> not only have we made arrests of over 2000 dealers and users with the goal of getting people

treatment and holding drug dealers accountable, but even just last night, there was a big operation of over 50 arrests because of the work that we're doing. >> district 11 supervisor and mayoral candidate asha safai says the solution to resolving issues in the tenderloin is to responsibly use the resources the city already has, and says his plan to use police and sheriff's deputies on foot patrols will achieve results. >> the other commitment i made when i was out there was i would have a satellite office of the mayor at the tenderloin police station, the mayor needs to be on the ground seeing that on a day to day basis, marshaling the resources of the city, no other person is talking about that, candidate daniel lurie says the idea of armed national guards on the streets of san francisco would do irreparable harm to the city's image. >> he's pushing his plan to keep out drug dealers using geo fencing and a combination of medical services and law enforcement to maintain order, he says. he, too, called for a
5:11 pm
state of emergency to address street conditions in the city. >> i'm the only candidate in this race with a comprehensive plan backed by law enforcement and behavioral health experts, to tackle the crisis on our streets, and so we need to do this. we should be doing it now. i will do it on day one of my administration advocates for the homeless say this isn't an issue. >> the city can arrest its way out of. jennifer friedenbach from the coalition on homelessness says all of these plans are law enforcement heavy and don't address the underlying issues of mental health and drug and alcohol dependency. >> so there's a lot of work that's been done on figuring out how to address the crisis. the problem is the resources have not been put into the solutions. they've instead been put into a criminal justice response. >> there's consensus that something must be done, but the debate is over. what and how. we're live in san francisco. christien, kafton, ktvu, fox two news. >> all right, christian, thank you. >> all right. san francisco city

5:20 pm
california ceo paul markovich says is designed to offer people peace of mind. the bottom line is we're trying to keep our employees safe and we have seen rising crime, particularly in 2023 over 2022, in oakland, that's contributed to a sense of concern amongst our employees. and we just want to make sure that they can come to work, be safe and be productive. and that's really what it's all about. we're not alone in that. and we thought cooperating would make this more effective. >> oakland mayor shengtao applauded today's announcement as an example of public private partnership. she released a statement saying in part, collectively, we share a deep love and commitment to this beautiful city. i know we will be successful and quickly bringing safety, growth and vibrancy back to our streets. blue shield's paul markovich added that oakland needs help and oakland will get help. >> we have a lot of pride in being in oakland. we look and plan to stay in oakland and, we feel like we need to be a part
5:21 pm
of the solution here. there's been some challenges post covid, and oakland is not alone in those challenges. so trying to help the city through this any way that we can, is something that we feel is important. and when you look at some of these programs, particularly the patrols that are going on, they won't just benefit our employees, they'll benefit the entire community. and i think a healthy community starts with a safe community. >> now, as part of the partnership, the four companies have agreed to financially support oakland's measure z, the public safety and violence prevention act, established in 2014. >> a south bay assembly member wants to reduce the speed limit around schools after a child was hit and killed by a car two years ago in campbell. today assembly member marc berman introduced the safer school zones bill to the community. he says if approved, speed limits around the schools would not exceed 20 miles an hour. back in september of 2022, jacob vilanova, a third grader at castlemont elementary, was struck and killed while in the crosswalk on his way to school.

winds are concerned. and some much cooler temperatures. the thunderstorms are totally a possibility for your friday. and we're looking at anywhere from a half an inch of rain to a full three inches of rain in throughout the santa cruz mountains. by the way, if you're traveling to monterey bay or the big sur area, we are anticipating 4 to 5in of rain there. we're going to talk about your easter day forecast and the impact this system is going to have on your weekend. plus, we'll even thrown the tahoe outlook. julie. mike, still to come. >> all right roberta. thank you. we'll see you soon. still to come here at five. an alleged conspiracy by a caltrain executive. what he and another worker are accused of do g
