emotional farewell. good evening, i'm ama daetz and i'm dan ashley. >> thanks for joining us. since the a's started in oakland in 1968, the team won four world series titles and six pennants, including today's game, the a's have played 4493 regular season games at the coliseum. the stadium has hosted 12 no hitters and three perfect games, with the last one coming last season. today's final game marks a piece of oakland history that fans obviously hoped would never come. >> as the a's say farewell to the east bay. we have team coverage to bring you every moment. abc seven news reporter anser hassan and suzanne phan are live with reaction from a's fans and coliseum workers. >> sports reporter chris alvarez has a look at the mood inside the clubhouse after that final pitch. but we begin with abc seven sports director larry beil, who's here to kick off our coverage tonight. >> yeah, larry, a historic but really just a sad day. >> it is sad and it's surreal in that we knew this day was coming. it seemed to be

inevitable. and then when it happens, it just really hits you so hard. and one of the memories that i think i will cherish forever. a scene that played out last night and then again today as we'll show you some video here of the grounds crew, as you see rickey henderson and dave stewart throwing out the ceremonial first pitch but scooping up coliseum dirt and pouring it into water bottles for fans who wanted to have a tangible piece of the coliseum and their childhood and all the memories, they want to be able to look and touch and feel. keep it with them. and so that it's not dying. you have a memory that will last forever. so that's what just hits so hard. and look at the crowd. there's never been a problem with the fan base here. the problem was with the guy that owns the team. anyway, mark kotsay was tremendous. the manager of the a's addressing the fans after the game. and to all of you, on

behalf of my staff, myself, this team, this team, all the past players and coaches who's worn the green and gold >> there are no better fans than you guys. >> you guys. >> i think we all should pay homage to this amazing stadium that we've had the privilege and pleasure of enjoying for 57 years. and i ask you for one more time to start the greatest cheer in baseball. let's go. >> oakland.

oh >> i'm going to be here and let's go oakland in my head all night long. i covered marcos when he played for the a's. and now as the skipper. what a good dude. i mean, and he was put in an impossible situation by an owner who didn't want to spend on the team. constant penny pinching and having to somehow, some way, get all the guys together and believe they could compete. and they actually have some, some really good young players. chris alvarez has been at the coliseum all day long, taking in the sights, the sounds, the emotions, and let's bring chris in for his perspective on this day. chris >> yeah, larry, that that video and mark katie's speech still gives me goosebumps hearing the let's go oakland chant. and i was actually inside the stadium. i want to be inside with the crowd for the final three outs. and to see the buildup. it felt like they were going to win a world series, a playoff game. i've been to some pretty cool moments when a team is about to clinch something or win a big

playoff game, and that's what it felt like today. all day. it felt like both a very sad day, but a happy day because people were here to be a part of history. and we'll take a look at the video of that final inning, which i was watching with my own eyes. i want to get out of the press box. and here's the final out. the all star closer, mason miller, gets a ground ball. max shuman fields throws across the diamond. and that is your ballgame three two. the a's win on a day. they had to win. cue the song celebration. let's go inside the a's clubhouse to see what it was like with the very last pitch. >> and the final out had a really weird feeling that i was going to get the ball there, that's just how baseball is, you know? so, i mean, i was ready for it, yeah. i mean, it was special just being a home grown player, it means a lot to me. you know, it's been my dream to be a big league player. and you know, to be drafted by the oakland a's and then to represent them this year means it means a ton to me. do you know where it ended up after it got the title? yeah, i think, i think it got in ricky's hands. yeah. yeah. i mean, that would

make sense. that guy's a legend. so, i mean, the field is named after him for a reason, right? i mean, it's an honor that i think any any pitcher would love to have. >> and, you know, i think just being able to say that and, you know, have that for the rest of my career, no matter where it takes me, you know, that's always going to be a moment i look back on and, you know, treasure. >> very cool to give the ball to rickey henderson. obviously he threw across the diamond. but to have the perspective and maybe the humbleness to give it over to rickey, i thought that was a pretty cool moment. and it's still hard to believe as we sit here two hours after the last pitch, that this is truly coming to an end. there's still some people lingering, some team employees and some people taking photos and all those types of things running the bases, we're still out here bringing you the live coverage, but it is sadly coming to an end and the lights are out here at the coliseum. >> larry, chris, you should go run the bases. what are they going to do? look i mean, there he goes. chris. chris played college baseball, so it's not like he couldn't do it anyway. thank you man. we'll see you

later on in sports. you know when you look at the almost 47,000 people, the one thing that strikes me is sports is the universal unifier. think about men, women, children, all ethnicities, young, old and everybody unified by their love for this team. >> and it does something else. it creates memories that last a lifetime. you went as a little girl with your dad and i mentioned that. >> but then i also thought about the fact that that was my daughter's first game, was an a's game, was an a's game, and now they're not going to be the oakland a's. >> yeah, and i don't believe that a lot of those people are going to go across the bridge. because if you're an a's fan probably you don't like the giants. so i don't know what they will do. maybe they'll drive to sacramento or maybe not. or maybe that's it. >> but i just keep thinking it's just a shame to see oakland without a football team, a baseball team, a basketball team. >> it's sad. it's truly sad. and you know what the city needs the revenue from those teams. and so

now they you know, zero for three. they've got nothing left. all right. thanks larry. all right. >> well today's finale at the coliseum was emotional. as you can imagine, for a's fans, this woman seen openly crying in her seat, not ready to leave after the final out. >> that sort of says it all, doesn't it? she was one of many fans today in a sellout crowd. nearly 47,000 a's loyalists packed the coliseum. >> abc seven news reporter anser hassan spoke to a few of them after the game, and he continues our live team coverage. hi. answer >> ama and dan. good evening. when kool and the gang song celebration came on, everybody knew game over a's win, but now they're headed to sacramento on the way to vegas. but for fans, this is it. you can see there's a few here still tailgating, but many of the fans we spoke to say today felt different. they know this was the end. >> it was heavier today for sur. the last few games there was a little bit more jovial kind of tone to it. today was just you felt it as soon as you walked in the stadium. i mean, there was a lot of heaviness when katie took

the field that got me, you know, definitely wiping some tears away on that one. >> it's somber. it's very sad, you know, a piece of your childhood, a piece of your adult life. my son saw me grabbing my a's gear today, and he got to go sunday, and he said, oh, i want to go to the game today with you. i'm like, well, today's a. today's dad's game. >> so many people spent so much time here. like there's not many things you invest that much time. you come that many times in a row in a year, get to know a bunch of players. people like people that sit around you, the ushers, the vendors, everybody. right so it's just like a little family. and we're just kind of saying goodbye to this chapter. and it's like for some people, that's it. >> almond and many of us have heard the saying, what happens in vegas stays in vegas when oakland a's fans summed it up best by saying, remember what happens in vegas, started in oakland, doesn't seem like a better way to end. yeah, reporting live for the last time

at the oakland coliseum anser hassan abc seven news. >> thanks. i like that a lot. >> what happens in vegas stays in oakland. >> thanks, hunter. and our coverage of the a's final game at the coliseum continues on our website. visit abc7 news.com for a complete recap of today's game and all the special moments. >> but for the moment, let's move on to some other news. developing news in napa, where police are investigating a shooting at an apartment complex. it happened this morning at the napa park homes complex near the corner of lincoln and soscol avenues. video shows yellow crime scene tape around the perimeter, and several officers doing their work in the investigation. police are asking the public to stay away from that area. no word yet on whether anyone was hurt or if anyone was is in custody. >> san francisco dog owners are raising concerns after at least three dogs were killed by coyotes at crissy field in just the past ten days. the pet owners say it's part of a growing trend of increased aggression from the local coyote population. they want more to be done. abc seven news reporter tim johns spoke to one dog owner

and shares her story. >> three days a week, you can find meredith lyons and her three year old dog, willie nelson, walking along the water at crissy field. line says her walks are normally uneventful. that was until tuesday. >> within two minutes of him jumping out of the car, a coyote came out of the bushes, went for the neck, tapped back because of the color blind. >> says she had heard coyote encounters were on the rise near crissy field, but never expected it to happen to her. her shock getting even worse just hours later when she and willie encountered another coyote on their walk. the very next day, blind says this time the coyote started following her as she ran down the beach. >> i tripped, i was on the ground. the coyote starts circling me. i'm screaming and yelling for help and covering willie, blinds tells me. >> eventually, a park ranger heard her screaming and was able to scare the coyote away. but after two incidents in the span

of two days, berlin says she's traumatized. >> oh, i was terrified. i was like, is this how it ends? >> the golden gate national recreation area, which runs crissy field, says at least three dogs are believed to have been killed just within the past ten days, prompting dog owners to take extra precautions. >> i would say the large percentage of the commercial dog walking network is telling their clients that you have to buy coyote vests. otherwise, i'm not going to take your dog. >> the nra says they are taking these incidents seriously. on thursday morning, their team was out here at crissy field putting up several signs there, also advising people if they too have a coyote encounter. you want to make yourself big. >> you want to make a lot of noise. if you have rocks or sticks, you want to throw it at the coyote. you want to make the coyote uncomfortable being around people. >> as for villines, she says after their experience, she and willie will be changing up their routine. >> i did read that coyotes are afraid of water and willie's an amazing swimmer, so i think we're just going to stick to

water exercises for the time being. >> in san francisco, tim jonze, abc seven news. >> still to come, workers at the coliseum say farewell to oakland. they share the memories they're taking with them as the a's head up the road to sacramento. >> and as we usher in fall, it's time for a new water year in california. how the state is looking toward the future in the race against climate change. >> i'm meteorologist sandhya patel. noticeably warmer around the bay area today, but it doesn't stop there. i'll show you what areas will heat up tomorrow. coming up

only spot they can go to. they can't go to giants, they can't go to chase. >> it's so disappointing. but i am semi-retired. >> concession stand worker delinda horton says she and other employees are taking a big hit. nearly 600 jobs could be lost, including 358 game day seasonal employees. >> they denied us severance pay. the earmark we had asked them and they said no. >> horton, who lives in sacramento, hopes to find work there when the a's leave oakland and play in sacramento temporarily. late thursday afternoon. a bittersweet ending. fans and employees got the win at home they had hoped for, but the a's are still leaving oakland one last time. employees are closing their doors, cleaning up and signing out lives on bird and usher at the club level at the oakland coliseum, has had a long career with the a's. >> this will be my 49th year. it's been a good run a lot. a lot of good memories. >> the memories are gone. the team's leaving and kendrick thompson that employee we just

of live doppler seven and you can see some very heavy bands are beginning to move in across cross city. cedar keys area. but the eye of the storm is still just off the coastline. it is a major hurricane. it is massive and they're already starting to see some storm reports in this area. over 100 reports of flash flooding, flooding in florida, over 500,000 people are without power right now. we take a look at some of the tornado warnings that are in effect. there's obviously a threat of tornadoes as well. storm surge is expected to be catastrophic 10 to 20ft, 6 to 12in of rain isolated 20in. that is going to lead to life threatening flooding, damaging winds. and that risk of tornadoes is there. now, once it crosses the big bend area, it is expected to weaken early tomorrow morning to a category two. but georgia is going to get hit. it's going to move across the carolinas. excuse me. not the carolinas, the tennessee valley. and when it continues to

weaken, there's still going to be opportunity for storm damage between the rain, the wind across that region. so that is the situation there. here fortunately much quieter in the bay area 18 degrees warmer in novato. you're feeling it 15 degrees in concord up five in san jose. high pressure is going to continue to nudge westward. and as it does tomorrow, those temperatures are going to rise even more. and then over the weekend things will drop off. already seeing signs of that ridge taking control, the marine layer that has been hanging tough along parts of the coastline is compressing, and there's barely anything left from our live view from sutro tower, you can see a lot of sun 62 in the city, 69 in oakland. warmest spots today. get up and getting it up into the upper 80s 76 san jose and redwood city. live view from emeryville is shallow marine layer looking at sutro tower 80. in santa rosa. you're in the 70s in napa. 87 fairfield 83, livermore, santa cruz. good day to be out on the beach. here's a look at the

any major u.s. city. certainly, yes. >> we lost more than 500 police officers before i became mayor. when i became mayor, we worked very hard to bring people together at the table to work through differences and to rebuild our public safety departments. >> still, the firefighters say that as a city council member, prior to being elected as mayor, liccardo refused to work with first responders. >> if you have an employer and a city that respects you and shows you some dignity, they're going to want you to stay and ultimately, when he was in that position, that never happened. >> liccardo is facing off against state assemblymember evan low. san jose firefighters local 230 is endorsing low. liccardo said he suspects the timing of the protest has to do with his opponent. >> i understand there's a certain desperation tactic in this, and so we see this happen a lot in campaigns. that is not my first campaign. i suspect we'll see more of it. >> in a statement, lowe's campaign said 16 district voters should heed these first responders, warning we need someone with a proven record supporting first responders and public safety as our next

congressman, not someone like liccardo, who actively fought these local heroes. moving forward, the firefighters union insists they're facing critical staffing issues and will need strong support from their future congressman. >> it impacts everyone's public safety. >> in san jose, zach fuentes, abc seven news. >> cleaning up hunters point, the feds announced significant progress today in their effort to clear out dangerous pollutants from the old naval shipyard and the impact of climate change on california's water supply. >> leaders talk about what's to come as they look

the murder case against defendant nicky garcia is finally heading for trial. a judge ruled late this afternoon to drop an agreement that would have avoided a trial. >> i-team reporter dan noyes is just back from court. and you have the latest for us. >> well, ama and dan, the judge insisted late today that the deal to avoid a trial and give that defendant a 15 year sentence was fair and just. but he listened to the prosecution's argument and instead sent the

case to trial. the defendant's family came in person to san francisco superior court, and 21 family and friends of the victim appeared by zoom, as did the defendant. nicky garcia was 19 years old at the time of the crash in golden gate. according to the court file, in june of 2016, he and a friend broke into a car at about 6 p.m, stole a backpack and drove away in his girlfriend's honda fit. witnesses say he blew through stop signs and accelerated to 60 miles an hour, swerved to avoid another car and slammed into 41 year old heather miller, who was riding her bike. she died on impact. >> i looked up and saw the bike tumbling head over heels. probably it must have been ten feet in the air. >> judge harry jacobs arranged a deal in which garcia would plead guilty to all charges, but sentencing on the first degree murder and second degree murder counts would be stayed. garcia would receive a 15 year sentence only for the lesser crimes. vehicular homicide. leaving the scene of an accident and auto

burglary. he has already served eight years in san francisco county jail. heather miller's father wants the case to be heard by a jury. >> i waited eight years for justice and a plea bargain to me is not justice. >> the district attorney's office filed a motion to dismiss the vehicular homicide charge, in effect derailing the plea deal. i think it represents a consistent problem that we're seeing at the courthouse, which is judges coming in and undermining our cases by offering lenient pleas to defendants who have done very egregious things. >> and in this case, an innocent woman lost her life. and yet that's being discounted by this offer. >> late this afternoon, judge jacobs said bluntly, it was not a plea bargain. it was not binding on anyone. he approved the prosecution's motion and confirmed the december 20th trial date for the remaining charges, including murder in the first and in the second degree, after nicky garcia's attorney insisted the agreement for a 15 year sentence would have been fair and just, and that the judge should have stuck with it

in his own mind, in thought. >> it was a just sentence, obviously. but we had discussed before, so why walk away from that? and that can only be because of all this pressure and intimidation that is surrounding this case. for for, for a very, very long time. >> heather miller's father was also watching by zoom, and he told me late today that he's glad for today's news and will come from north carolina to attend the trial. that looks like it's going to start in december. >> he said the other day, in your interview that he wanted to be there for. exactly. >> it's going to happen now. it looks like. >> thanks, dan. >> thanks. and if you have a story for dan and the i-team. go to abc7 news.com slash i-team. >> all right. coming up here, the return of muni light rail service to one san francisco neighborhood, a look at the project.

bringing you stories about the effort to preserve our climate and save our environment. today, state water officials detailed how a changing climate is impacting california's water supply. >> abc seven news reporter dustin dorsey has a look at the water year ahead from state meteorologists. >> the weather may not feel like it outside, but it's fall in the bay area. and on october 1st, the new water year begins. the california department of water resources expects rainfall may start later than average, but it shouldn't impact our water across the state. >> we need to be protecting ourselves from the potential for flooding, but we also need to be taking that resource and making sure that we are saving it for an inevitable long, dry period. >> but we know that could all change due to climate change extremes. those are the swings on the weather spectrum, from the hottest of hots to the wettest of wets and the coldest

of cold. it's something we're getting used to in california, especially during the winter. in fact, in the decades since 2013, there was only one year in which we saw precipitation and snowpack in the expected category. no matter what extreme may come this upcoming water year, the department of water resources says being prepared is most important. >> even with our very dry summer, we're in a slightly better position because the preceding years were so wet and we have very full reservoirs. really across the state. >> it's something that valley water is doing in santa clara county, spokesperson matt keller says. santa clara county used its fair share of water this year due to summer heat, but nothing much more than usual. valley water is hoping for a la nina year this year that is similar to 2023. that still led to plenty of rainfall and overflowing reservoirs. but if that doesn't happen, santa clara county is preparing resources now to be ready. >> we need to make sure that we're investing in water supply projects that can, you know, counter against the effects of climate change. so that

includes, you know, purified water. that includes investing in water storage projects, groundwater banking, all those kinds of things that our board is exploring. >> steps taken by valley water to make sure water can still be supplied no matter what weather extremes may come our way in the south bay. dustin dorsey, abc seven news. >> it's all fascinating. >> it is fascinating and so critical. of course, to how things go here in california. with the new water year starting. but in the meantime, let's talk about the heat. >> yes, we are up and down sandia. >> yes. and tomorrow is going to be up. ama and dan, let me show you a live picture right now. that fog layer that was pretty deep a couple of days ago is shallow. this is a live view from our sky star camera on sky star wheel at fisherman's wharf, and you can see mostly sunny skies there. very little fog out there, but the weekend will feature a different story. we're talking about cooler weather, low 60s to low 90s. saturday and sunday near average. we're going to see a lot more fog for the

weekend. and here's a look at specifically what you can expect in your neighborhood. sunday is going to be pretty nice as well. before we get to all of that, you're going to see or after we get to all of that, we're going to see some heat returning on monday with near 100 inland right now on live doppler seven. what little fog we had left this afternoon is gone. and yes, it is going to be heating up tomorrow. we're looking at mid to upper 90s inland 60s coast side. the warming already got underway today. you'll feel that heat tomorrow. upper 90s for the hot spots, but dropping off over the weekend and we bring the hot weather back next week. warm at the coastline. it's going to be beach weather, 70s, monday tuesday, but we'll start to notice those temperatures really backing off by thursday. and a nice all right. >> thanks, andy. >> all right. sports director larry beil is here. what a day for oakland a's fans. >> yeah. you know before i came down i was checking social media and i saw a video of a ten year old girl. a's fan crying her eyes out, and it just hit me so

hard. this is so wrong. it is so wrong. a few final thoughts on the last day's game in oakland, and the perspective from afar that it's

they also said you couldn't escape from alcatraz. but watch me do both. other candidates want to tear down san francisco, but i'll build on what's already great to make it even better. with expanded rent control, new homes for the middle class community policing to reduce crime, and an inspector general to root out corruption. let's get to work. paid for by aaron peskin for mayor 2024. financial disclosures are available at sfethics.org

green and gold play in the oakland coliseum for the final time before the move to sacramento. maybe for the next three years and ultimately to las vegas. if they ever get their final highlights from the final home game at the oakland coliseum for the a's, rickey henderson and dave stewart franchise icons throwing out the ceremonial first pitches. and you had former a's cy young award winner barry zito singing the national anthem. he said it was the first time he ever sang the anthem. so imagine the nerves in the fifth little coliseum. luck. j.j. bleday fly ball lost in the sun. wyatt lankford dropped it. that made it three nothing. a's three two. in the seventh, j.j. bleday play

of the day that ignited the crowd for a few innings there in the ninth. final outs coming up, mason miller gets travis jankowski to ground out. a's win, three two, in their finale in oakland. celebrate good times. come on. three, two. all right, let's head out to chris alvarez for one last moment and some final thoughts at the coliseum. chris >> yeah. cue the song celebration. it was so cool as i watched the highlights again, larry, because i was in the stands to watch the final three outs. but to see all the people on tv standing up and cheering in unison, almost like a playoff or a world series game, was something you won't forget. and the moments after mark kotsay addressed the crowd, the emotion that was felt here at the coliseum after 57 years of oakland a's baseball is something these fans that were here will never forget. >> today was an emotional day all around. from the time i drove in, like we talked about to right now and uh- yeah, i mean, i'm still kind of reeling

right now. so this is where home began. and this is hopefully where home finishes, yeah. i couldn't be more proud to represent this organization on this day. and, you know, be able to honor it in a way that we did with the win just all around today. >> it just felt special for like almost 47,000 people here. the energy was, you know, crazy. it felt like they were behind us the whole game. it was awesome. and then to get that final out and hear, you know, the crowd go wild, it was really cool to see people getting emotional and yeah, that hits you hard because i think there's really, really good people here, who, like i've said, who care about us as players but also as people. >> and to see them hurting, you know, definitely gets in your fields a little bit. >> you can definitely hear the emotion from the players. and i just had a conversation with the groundskeeper, one, because i was trying to figure out when they're going to kick us off the field, but we're still here. and the second thing was he made a

good comment. he goes, this facility never got the respect it deserved. a guy, tom brady and barry bonds played on the same field. i mean, there's so much history here, larry, not only with the a's, but obviously with the raiders and all the concerts and all the things, but there's so much that happened here and to for it all to be gone now, it's surreal. it's just kind of still hard to believe, even though we know it is done. >> yeah, it's sad. great perspective. thank you. chris. sports on abc seven is sponsored by smart and final. we want to leave you with one thing. this is from a buddy of mine. jeff passan is the national baseball writer for espn. just to give you the national view, the oakland a's were killed by greed. do not allow the people responsible for this to spin it any other way. john fisher did not have to move this team. major league baseball and its owners did not need to be complicit in it. this was a choice, a wrong one. history will sneer. thank you. jeff passan yeah, powerful sentiment. i mean, that's it right there. there's nothing there's nothing more to add. that's he's spot on and the whole thing is so incompetent. >> they still haven't worked it out to actually be in las vegas

right. it's crazy. >> oh oh that oh oh you mean like finance? >> the field is a mess in sacramento. the whole thing is just bungled, right? >> yeah. yeah yeah. agreed. unanimous opinion. >> thanks, larry. >> coming up tonight on abc seven at eight. catch 9-1-1. then it's doctor odyssey at nine, followed by the season premiere of gray's anatomy at ten. and stay with us for abc seven news at 11. that is it for this edition of abc seven news. >> i'm ama daetz and i'm dan ashley for sandhya patel, larry beil, the entire abc seven news team. we appreciate your time. >> and as we go, we want to leave you with one final look at the emotional and memorable day as the a's played their final game at the coliseum. >> boy, it sure was emotional. today our special projects producer, juan carlos guerrero, put together this recap of the day's sights and sounds from oakland. enjoy >> saw the coliseum and it's going to be a day full of emotions. let's go. >> oakland. let's go oakland

>> can you get off that train? and there are people everywhere. and that massive pile of concrete right there that we love to call the coliseum. and it's always been home and a very special place for us. >> thanks for the memories, guys. last game guys. souvenirs. >> this bridge means a lot to me, man. >> it hits home and it's sad that today might be probably my last time i walked back out of here. >> long time oakland a's fans. born and raised, green and gold. sad to see them go. you know, we are loyal to oakland and loyal to the a's. we love you for all the great memories. thank you. >> we dream of wearing green and gold. 2012 got the coliseum believing again. >> it's a sad day, but it's bittersweet at the same time. and i'm just glad i'm here to celebrate it with everybody. they took a big husband and i. >> we had our first date here at the a's stadium. this is the end of an era. this is a marker of the beginning of our relationship. the continuation. and baseball is everything. you

gotta focus with the curve in your back. >> scoliosis. i've been doing it since i was 13. doing it one last time with her here. >> it was pretty emotional. we'll go over. >> oakland. it's going. >> man, i just started a wave and it went around twice. i bet we get it around a few more times by the end of this game, we're all going to be on our feet. trying to get >> it. it's the bottom of the eighth inning. >> the a's are batting. this might be the last time we ever see them. >> thank you for the nice games. >> you giving us all those years now i'm crying. >> thank you very much to everybody for coming over today

had a good time. >> come on back. >> i remember coming here when i was a kid, like early 80s. it's sad. like i went to the last raiders game. that was sad. i had to come to the last a's game. sad, sad. i think we all should pay homage to this amazing stadium that we had the privilege. >> and i ask you for one more time to start the greatest cheer in baseball. >> let's go, let's go. oakland let's go oakland. and go up there. let's go oakland go oakland. let's go oakla your skin is ever-changing, take care of it
