Napa Valley A's?

The Oakland baseball club may not be having quite as good a season as usual - could it be because their leading oenophiles are gone or hurt? (Huston Street, their closer and subject of this wine interview, has been on the DL, and Scott Hatteberg and Barry Zito have moved elsewhere).

Well, perhaps the lack of wine-lovers is not the cause of their demise, but the A's quest to find a new home might do better in Napa Valley than the current quest to relocate 25 miles south in the town of Fremont, in a development led by Internet networking business Cisco Systems. If they want to move upscale, why not associate with wine instead of routers?

As for me, let's see if I can find a Silver Oak cabernet for cheap now...
