12:02 am
and what willie has meant not just to the game, but everything else that he stood he had an inner engine that was incredible. >>andy, it having seen him play. described what it was like. i i assume this what you know, his his prime and in the 50's and the 60's. >>for people who we're lucky enough. what was he like as as just a player? >>i always thought in the current day you have. we're so lucky to have steph curry in our market right? steph curry plays with an incredible sense of joy. but that sense of joy and enthusiasm and happiness was willie mays. every time he played and there's so much seriousness in the world today having athlete of that nature who broke so many different barriers. and was also the greatest center fielder of all time. i know they'll be arguments, but it's the sense

of joy and these ballparks where that town squares of america and willie got a chance to play in many of them and brought people together. >>you know, that sense of fun that you're talking about is huge in your. we were hearing it over and over again. he's effervescence and his his sense of fun. charisma. i mean, he really connected with people. >>i have nothing against analytics and metrics are all fine. and all of the modern techniques. but how do you measure willie mays says fart, how did you get into his dna? no way possible. and luckily for us. athletes that come along from time to time that transcend just their athletic ability and become part of our culture. >>some people know what he did to help break the color barrier in baseball when we said hi to you, you said i think something to the effect of he made america better. can you elaborate on on how and why?
12:04 am
>>because we have such divisiveness in our country now. and if you look, i'm looking at one of the greatest catchers in baseball history, which is only been shown to 1 million 847 times and still great. but willie, basically because he was such an every man, even though he was the greatest of his time for many decades, he basically could bring people together. and that's what we need. and that's what sports still exemplifies in so many areas brings people of all different backgrounds together to cheer and sometimes but when you saw this say, hey, kid, you were having fun at the ballpark, which is a mason. >>you probably have more stories and memories than not most of us, any, particulrly a special members. you have. >>well, i'll always just remember the smile. i mean,
12:05 am
i've been lucky enough to work in a bunch of different sports with a number of quality players and everything is so much more complicated today. but that smile, i'm just illuminated every room the way that he would speak to people the way that you go out of his way welcome people. that is something that is very rare. and, you know, willie mays stood the test of time, 93 incredible years. and we all the better for it in our market and around the country. >>the isis about group and allay ho just tweeted rest in peace. willie mays, you changed the game forever and inspired kids like me to chase our dreams. thank you for everything that you did on and off the field. always in our hearts. and i imagine that sentiment is shared by many andy, you're an sports it's it's seems like a tall order to properly honor him. what would you do if you are in

charge of the giants in major league baseball? >>this is been a very hard week for me because i worked for 5 years in memphis with jerry the logo who passed away a few days ago. so to see these incredible players leave our daily life is hard. the giants have always done it the right way in terms of honoring their past. they're one of the most unified franchises that i've seen in sports. loyalty is very important. their players stay with the team, whether they're playing or after their playing days are over. the giants will do it the right you know, this is more than statues, which they already have. this is more than words. this is a feeling that willie mays gave to hundreds of millions of people over time. the giants will maximize that as major league baseball. and i said, with the record game and the juneteenth celebration in the negro

reproductive freedoms and the rights of women in san francisco as jurisdictions around the country continue to limit those freedoms. san francisco mayor london breed announced the san francisco reproductive freedom act on tuesday. for more on this kron
12:17 am
four's justine waltman spoke with san francisco's mayor line in brea. >>all right. this was just announced today. yes, the reproductive freedom act. you try to safeguard access to abortions. there's lots of different things in it. but first off, why he wants san francisco to be sort of a sanctuary city for abortions and abortion rights after the dobbs decision 2 years ago when so many people thought that we would never overturn roe v wade. there were so many people in the bay area who wanted to make sure that our reproductive freedoms were protected, but also that women all over the country would have a sanctuary in the bay area. so we created the bay area, abortion rights bark as a response to that. but it also didn't make as much traction a lot of other people in san francisco really wanted to get actively engaged and wanted to do something. and this ballot measure that will be on the ballot. this november is an opportunity for san franciscans to roll up their sleeves and to support reproductive freedoms in 2
12:18 am
ensure that we send a strong message that san francisco will do everything we can with our policies with a lot of our signage in laws and regulations. we will try and make sure that people know this is a safe harbor for those who are seeking reproductive freedom. there are a couple things in this ballot measure, including requiring public information to be provided or people can access reproductive health services also making sure that city funds our low by want you to address with the city funds could be used for in the different health facilities and also requiring signage at crisis pregnancy centers to tell people if these locations do or do not provide that type of health care. but how will this all be funded? yeah, and already the city and county of san francisco has a number of 14 free clinics around the city and some of them provide reproductive health care for people who are seeking health care. we do have these crisis pregnancy centers that don't provide comprehensive reproductive care and they are
12:19 am
very misleading. their goal is to stop someone from getting an abortion. and what we're saying is, you know, you you are there to provide women with every option possible and our signage in the facility of those particular locations is to say to women, this center does not provide comprehensive reproductive care. and here are some options to do so. so it's a little deceptive in terms of what these places are trying to do. and we're trying to diffuse the ability for them to do that. but more importantly center's that actually provide 100% wraparound reproductive care are the only center's that we should be funding if it all, if any. and we want to make sure that we make that very clear and also prohibiting the use of any city funds to support the prosecution of an abortion if someone's coming from another state into california where it's legal? yes, yes. and our district attorney was there a contra costa county district attorney diane abrupt was there as
12:20 am
well. and we want we have law enforcement on our side to make sure that people are not unfairly prosecuted for this because there are states whee for having an abortion, you could be prosecuted in even a case right now where someone had a miscarriage and and is being accused of having an abortion that they're being prosecuted, prosecuted in a in the united states of america. so it's really awful what's happening right now in this country as it relates to reproductive freedoms. and so our goal sanrancisco is to make sure that we continue to be a leader and be a sanctuary and that we support women. all right. so next up, the city, just welcome. 60 hbcu scholars to san francisco as of yesterday there here so far. how's it going? well, i met a few of them, including some law students from howard university san francisco is helping us out with some housing there's also space classroom space and downtown
12:21 am
