Amtrak Athletics

If you're a baseball fan that doesn't like parking lots, you could do a lot worse than the Jack London district. We can take the ferry to Giants games or the BART to either Giants or A's games. Well, the rich will soon be getting richer.

On May 25, Amtrak will be opening a Coliseum station. No word yet on fare from Jack London, and there's no way they'll beat the BART price, but it's nice to have options. Now if only the A's could get some hitters...

P.S. It's Harden versus Mussina tonight at the Coliseum. Two streaking pitchers in a pitchers park -- a perfect game for the purists.
