francisco, the honorable london breed. >> thank you. it's so great to be here in the bayview hunter's point community. this is exactly what i hope for for communities like the bayview and all over the city. and, in fact, brandon, i was a short stop when i played softball. i wasn't so bad and you played at this field when we played teams when i was in junior high school and let me tell you, this field does not look like it does today so i am so happy for all of you. the junior giants and for the sf bayside. all girls, one of the largest public baseball teams for girls in the country and annie
4:07 pm
jupiter jones is here. so if any of you want to play, any of the girls who are here today, please make sure that you talk to annie because we want to make sure that young people know there are no limits to what they can do. that they can be whatever they want, participate in whatever they want and so making sure that they have places like this to play, to grow, to thrive. it is so important because you know, like i was one of those kids, i didn't always listen. i wouldn't have been able to listen like some of the kids are doing right now because i always wanted to be into something. always playing. always active. always wanting to do what i wanted to do. and, in fact, when we provide spaces so that kids can do what they want to do, so that they can learn incredible sports. so they can learn about team work, this is what we're doing. we're preparing them for the future. so if you want to hit a double like brandon crawford did just
4:08 pm
yesterday and be apart of a world championship team, you can do exactly that. so i want to thank the giants for their investment in this and i also want to thank the tidings. i want to thank the san francisco rec and parks department because they put together the resources to renovate this particular field and, in fact, i want to also say to all the voters of the city and county of san francisco, thank you for the parks fund in 2012 and continued support for park. we're able to renovate fields like this, but that playground that these kids are going to go play in after this is over, thank you so much that we are able to make these investments. and, i want to lastly say this to all the speakers, keep it short because i know these kids don't want to sit here for that long, do you? >> you guys are ready to play,
4:09 pm
right? >> yes. >> okay. let's be patient. we've got a few run ups. be patient with us and we'll make sure we get out there and have a good time. everybody, thank you so much for the rec and park staff, to the community in the bayview hunter's point. to the elementary school and all the folks who are part of this amazing community. well, we can't play right now, but we will be soon. and thank you, for coming out here and hosting this great event. have a wonderful day everybody.

4:10 pm
state senator scott weiner. thank you. i was not an all star first off. first of all, let's hear did for our mayor for leading us through this pandemic and it's not over yet, but i know that mayor breed is going to lead us through. i thank the mayor and when we were on the board of supervisors. we fought so hard for funding for our parks. i think a lot of times, it gets criticized. the buses aren't on time. there's always criticisms of the city. but when you look at what the city of san francisco has done with our park system over the last 20 years, it is
4:11 pm
extraordinary. as the partnership with the voters, it's a partnership with the community organizations like the giants, but we have been renovating every single park in san francisco. every rec center, every pool. every baseball field. everything has gotten renovated of what our government can do and what our city can do when we all come together and move in a common direction. and resources that this community deserves and our southeast neighborhoods are part of the heart of san francisco and it is amazing to see gilman or the work being done in the mcclaron park. we are all in it together and we know from this pandemic, our parks matter. we're told you should be outside and the parks were a
4:12 pm
lifeline during this pandemic and it's going to continue to be a lifeline for our community. this is incredibly exciting. thank you to the giants for being such an amazing community partner. it's truly the heart of san francisco and let's just enjoy this baseball field. thank you everyone. [applause] >> thank you so much. appreciate you being here as well. next up is another tireless public servant and actually, we did a community event earlier this week on tuesday. it's great to see him out here again. please welcome my friend assembly member david chu. >> good afternoon san franciscans. i've always wanted to do this. boys and girls if i say "let's go" what do you say? let's go. >> giants. >> i'm going to be very brief.
4:13 pm
when i'm in sacramento and senator weiner knows this. we have rivalries. we talk about democrats and republicans, we talk about red and blue, but there's one rivalry we often don't talk about. when our whole people crushed them i've got to tell you, we might of sent some texts. to say we beat l.a. this is what it's about. it's about our team taking the field. i just want to say all of you are part of a team here in san francisco that's making it happen for our city and not just our amazing giants. i want to thank larry and our
4:14 pm
community. we have a team led by our c.e.o. and our coach mayor london breed who has hit that out of the park with so many of you representing the community, representing public safety, representing the nonprofit community, representing philanthropy. and let me just end with one final thing which is this is my neighborhood park. i live three minutes from here. my son and i come here on weekends to play and gilman has never looked better. [applause] >> and, as scott said, you know, under the leadership of mayor breed, the south neighborhoods of the bayview is getting the investments that it deserves. ten years ago, when we came to this playground, we thought will the bayview ever get the resources it needs. and this year, this is the third playground revitalization playground that i've been to. just thank you to all of you.
4:15 pm
we're making sure that while these kids are junior giants. some day, someone on this park might be the next brandon crawford. someone in this park might be the next london breed. and we know that every kid in this park is a winner today thanks to the giants and thanks to all you're doing. have a wonderful afternoon, thank you. [applause] >> thank you, david. and now batting in the clean up spot, is a woman who loves her baseball. please welcome annie jupiter-jones. >> thank you. thank you everyone. my name is annie and i have the honor to represent the rec and park commission along with my fellow commissioners. we are so excited to be here. we are so grateful to the giants community fund, the crawford family and the good
4:16 pm
tidings foundation to help us re-open this playground. as a city kid, i was born and raised in san francisco and that means i learned to love the giants right here. how many of you got to see a giants game at state park. maybe not as fancy as being at oracle park. i'm so happy in the giants in being able to make the adjustment where it was so important. please welcome board member of the good tidings foundation, your giants broadcaster dave flemming. >> mayor breed had the right idea. sometimes it's better just to grab that microphone, it's a little easier to do. real quick from me because i am here. i am a proud san francisco resident. being here today just as somebody who loves the city
4:17 pm
makes me really proud. i'm the broadcaster for the giants. our giants have the best record in all of baseball. brandon crawford is having an amazing season. so i'm here on behalf of the giants and the city, but also on behalf of the good tidings foundation. it's a wonderful organization. those of you who don't know much. take a minute to learn as much as you can about all the great stuff that we do. i do want to acknowledge i don't know where larry and ronnie are hiding right now. can we just give them another round of applause. we really appreciate your efforts. also, the grass that you're sitting on comes from west coast stir ups. i think that's pretty cool.
4:18 pm
i just want to say to brandon and jaylin, it has been a pleasure for me. i watched just about every game brandon's been in. our giants franchise goes back to 1883. but it has been even more of a pleasure for me to be around brandon as a person. he is a delightful young man who cares about this city, cares about his team, cares about kids and not just his own kids. i'm really proud of you today for all that you've done over the course of your giants career. and you should be proud too. thank you everybody for having me. [applause] >> thank you so much. i appreciate you. and i want to take this
4:19 pm
opportunity to piggy back on what the mayor and assembly member chu and annie was saying. the there could be a future giants announcer out here as well. because momma's getting old. baseball is such a part of this community as you heard from all of our speakers in so many ways and these wonderful kids also participate in our junior giants programs and the city of san francisco as well as 85 other communities throughout the state of california. it is a free program for more than 2,300 boys and girls and this program teaches our kids
4:20 pm
both baseball skills and important life skills because i know you all heard it before, baseball really is a metaphor for life. as they continue on with their education and their sports. now, it is my honor to introduce to you giants president and c.e.o. larry bear. >> thank you. i'm going to it take my cues from the boss, the mayor of san francisco and i'm going to keep remarks short because after me as they said is the greatest short stop in history of the san francisco giants and new york giants. so that's back 138 years. i just want to share a couple of things. one is how special it is to come to this neighborhood where really most of my childhood memories were made.
4:21 pm
watching willy mays and barry bonds play. and at bayview hunter's park. there's a member of all the volunteering from giants staff would do and still does at brett heart school and incredible community relationship we have here. so it's just such a pleasure to return to gilman field. we had a situation back in 1992 where the office moved and we had a rally in one thousand nine hundred ninety-two and there was a four-year-old and this picture exists in our ball park, we had a four-year-old on the shoulders of his father holding up a sign that said, "save my giants." you want to guess would that 4-year-old
4:22 pm
was? yes. pointing over here. brandon crawford. this is also giving back to this neighborhood and to our city for brandon crawford. just a round of applause for brandon. the greatest giants short stop in history. as we mentioned, this is 21 fields have been rebuilt. many in san francisco and it's just such a pleasure for the junior giants and the bay side to be able to use these fields and, you know, it's probably one of the greatest things that i think any of us from the giants can do. we're going to lose games. we're going to win games. we're going to open the world series a lot. we aspire every year. this is something we can do that will live forever and i cannot thank enough mary and
4:23 pm
larry and ronnie harper. larry has literally lived here at this field to make sure it's as beautiful today. it just completely fulfills our dream of what gilman field could be. where david chu lives nearby. so thank you for your partnership with junior giants. it's been mentioned that san francisco rec and park is a very involved partner. working with phil ginsburg and we thank so much all the work that park and rec has done because it's literally a partnership. and the public private partnershipses, you can talk about them, but you have to do
4:24 pm
them and this is done and several others in the city have done and our goal is to do one a year and if not in san francisco, we work with communities in east paloalto and richmond. but we really do believe that the focus should be as much as possible in our back yard in san francisco. so thank you to the city of san francisco and park and rec and thank you for the amazing partnership that i have to acknowledge the giants community fund board and kelly coover who has been is mazing with her leadership. and cassandra hoffman. russel maps who cannot be here today who has been truly a leader for us in norwegianing
4:25 pm
these so now we can get to the person we all want to see and hear from to thank. someone who's leading us in a really powerful way on this field and we had a game tonight against houston. so let's hear from the man who at 4 years old said "save my giants" with a sign. brandon crawford. [cheers and applause] >> thanks, larry. and, thank you everybody for being here and who helped put this thing together and helped at the field and just honored to be here with my family, all
4:26 pm
these special guests that we've heard speak, the junior giants and everybody here. as we -- as we're here to celebrate the opening of the gilman playground baseball field. it looks awesome. my relationship with the giants started 34 years ago. i was fortunate enough to go to a lot of games with my naernts. i was such a big fan that when i was your guys' age i did an assignment in kindergarten and that's what i wanteded to do when i got older and grew up.
4:27 pm
and that was an easy answer. and my parents always emphasized getting an education first, but they also supported me in every way of chasing my dreams. my dad was my little league coach. he emphasized the importance of fundamentals, discipline, and hard work. he taught me that if i wanted to be the best, i needed to not just show up for team practices, but put in the extra work. needed to take extra batting practice, extra fielding practice as well and work on speed and agility. i also need to be a good teammate and be respectful. i hope to instill these qualities into my own kids. the importance of hard work and being respectful. and baseball has gotten me to the position i am in today.
4:28 pm
it's important to key life skills, a way to give back to the community. it gave me an opportunity to go to college and get an education. it's helped me meet some of my closest friends. taught me the importance of team work. to work together and be an unselfish team member. it taught me how to deal with pressure. learning how to adjust in life and embrace challenges. it helps all areas of life. teaches you to deal with failure as well as success. there's plenty of failure in baseball. you'll get out, strike out, make mistakes and make errors. but then you'll also make corrections, try harder, work harder and be successful. our theme this year for the giants has been resilience. baseball teaches resilience and
4:29 pm
resilience helps you deal with the ups and downs of life. so my wife and i are so happy we're able to give back to the community in this way and bring young people together here and give them an opportunity to learn life lessons that will help them chase their dreams also. thank you. [cheers and applause] >> thank you so much, brandon. we appreciate all dough on and off the field and lucille i think you'll help me on this. mvp! mvp! so now we thought it would be fun to do a little 7th inning stretch. for the kids of the bayview and lead please welcome community
4:30 pm
4:31 pm

4:36 pm
>> we are right now in outer richmond in the last business area of this city. this area of merchants is in the most western part of san francisco, continue blocks down the street they're going to fall into the pacific ocean. two blocks over you're going to have golden gate park. there is japanese, chinese, hamburgers, italian, you don't have to cook. you can just walk up and down the street and you can get your cheese. i love it. but the a very multicultural place with people from everywhere. it's just a wonderful environment. i love the richmond district. >> and my wife and i own a café we have specialty coffee drinks, your typical lattes and mochas and cappuccinos, and for lunches, sandwiches and soup and
4:37 pm
salad. made fresh to order. we have something for everybody >> my shop is in a very cool part of the city but that's one of the reasons why we provide such warm and generous treats, both physically and emotionally (♪♪) >> it's an old-fashioned general store. they have coffee. other than that what we sell is fishing equipment. go out and have a good time. >> one of my customers that has been coming here for years has always said this is my favorite store. when i get married i'm coming in your store. and then he in his wedding outfit and she in a beautiful dress came in here in between getting married at lands end and to the reception, unbelievable.
4:38 pm
(♪♪) >> the new public health order that we're announcing will require san franciscans to remain at home with exceptions only for essential outings. >> when the pandemic first hit we kind of saw the writing on the walls that potentially the city is going to shut all businesses down. >> it was scary because it was such an unknown of how things were going to pan out. i honestly thought that this might be the end of our business. we're just a small business and we still need daily customers. >> i think that everybody was on edge.
4:39 pm
nobody was untouched. it was very silent. >> as a business owner, you know, things don't just stop, right? you've still got your rent, and all of the overhead, it's still there. >> there's this underlying constant sense of dread and anxiety. it doesn't prevent you from going to work and doing your job, it doesn't stop you from doing your normal routine. what it does is just make you feel extra exhausted. >> so we began to reopen one year later, and we will emerge stronger, we will emerge better as a city, because we are still here and we stand in solidarity with one another. >> this place has definitely been an anchor for us, it's home for us, and, again, we are part
4:40 pm
of this community and the community is part of us. >> one of the things that we strived for is making everyone in the community feel welcome and we have a sign that says "you're welcome." no matter who you are, no matter what your political views are, you're welcome here. and it's sort of the classic san francisco thing is that you work with folks. >> it is your duty to help everybody in san francisco. >> it's been a long sim since we've been back in the streets and we're excited to be here. this is not only a celebratory time for us to commemorate this project and to recognize the hard work that was put into it, but also just recognize that as we continue to reopen the city in a responsible and safeway, that we're also celebrating the neighbors, the neighborhood, and
4:41 pm
all of the unique characteristics of our city and it makes san francisco special and that's going to be a big part of our recovery. we have a great program today. relatively short and right to the point. of course our mayor will speak and i'm going to introduce sunshine to come and speak as well. if we're talking about any champion of the city in terms of making sure that we incest in our neighborhoods, continue to invest in making sure that our streets look good and we continue to take care of our neighborhoods, it's very owe own mayor, london broad. she's been a cam yun having been the directing supervisor, but now as mayor, really continuing to invest in the resources and the attention and the focus on making sure our neighborhoods are taken care of, we support our local small businesses. without further adieu, mayor london breed. >> hi, everybody. it's good to be here in the
4:42 pm
community. this community is near and dear to my heart because i spent time at gus' market shopping and decades of fashion with sis ali at love on hate with sunny it's just an amazing community where you can basically find anything. and it's an important community, not just to be the people who live here, also the people who visit san francisco. i met a decades of fashion i met tourists, some people who were coming to san francisco from other states. we know that as we begin to reopen after being closed for much too long, it's important to invest in neighborhoods like this to make sure that projects occur during a time where it's not so dis representative, but then look at what we have as a result of this, as a former district 5 supervisor, i had to hear complaints from the
4:43 pm
merchants and neighbors about the whole construction process. whether it was issues around parking, the gas leaks that occurred on numerous occasions and the things that led to challenges. this community has not just suffered because of the pandemic, there were a lot of challenges around this construction. we're done, finally! after all the pain and suffering, the results are amazing. we wanted to sparkle up the sidewalks with glitter. these projects are never easy and they're tough. sometimes they're neighborhoods that aren't able to do these projects. this community came together. they provided the guidance for what they wanted to see both merchants and people who live here. they harassed me as a supervisor
4:44 pm
and as mayor to make sure that we got the resources when the community process was complete to get the job done and now, thanks to ruiz construction and 130 construction workers, we're at the end of this project. what does it mean? something that you may not be able to see and something that makes me really excited as a mayor, because i'm a big infrastructure person. the sewer system has been replaced. so that means your pole et cetera will keep flushing and we will see the massive flood situations and for those of you who have experienced those things, this is a welcome addition. for those of you who visit this neighborhood frequently, you know as soon as you get here your cell phone service drops. there's improvements to ensure it doesn't happen. those are exciting things. the pedestrian lights to light
4:45 pm
the sidewalks they're absolutely beautiful. and i see irene is excited about those, she's blowing the whistle, thank you, very much. the in trash reciprocal so that we can this is because of the hard-working men and labor. it's because of apartment department heads and resources that came together so i want to thank the department of public works here with us today. i want to thank m.t.a. and jeff tumlin, the head of that department. i want to thank the transportation authority for the resources provided for this project as well and i want to thank the office of economic workforce development for working with the community and working with the number of the businesses that are here.
4:46 pm
i want to thank this community especially, the businesses, that are in the in the place. it's a great place to visit. you can find anything you need here. if you want a sandwich, go to gus'. if you want a t-shirt, go at any of these stores, jewelry and anything and in fact on in this art space, valley stepped in and she made sure this work was done and she helped respond to this community and deal with the challenges and so again, we are so excited and grateful to be here today so as we reopen, make
4:47 pm
sure you visit these stores and support the community. this is a historic neighborhood in san francisco and we want to make sure that it is thriving and that it is clean, and it's safe and here for generations to come. thank you all so much. [applause] >> thank you for your leadership and personal attention to this neighborhood. i know the neighbors here, the merchants here appreciate it. no project is successful without the deep engagement of our community. and i want to really thank the folks who have been part of this, not only the residents who live in the area but of course the merchant association. sunshine power sunny is going to come up and say a few words. i want to say congratulations to her. she just got married during the pandemic. congratulations. [applause] >> hi, everyone.
4:48 pm
welcome. thank you, madam mayor, distinguished guests and my community. i'd like to share story about what happened and yesterday and he said everyone person, whether it was a couple, a person, or a family, left happier and with a larger smile as a native san franciscan and someone who spent 30 years in the hague, it's what it has done for me. it's made me smile.
4:49 pm
how else would a woman that looks like me to talk at an event like this today. you've got to love san francisco. when i used to do walking tours here in the haight, i would end saying when people think of san francisco, they think of the golden gate bridge, fisherman's wharf and a hippie on the corn of haight and ashbury. well, here i am. i would like you all to know that we have brand new lights, brand new sidewalks, but even though we have some new stuff, the color, creativity, and consciousness that haight street is known for still emulates from
4:50 pm
these streets but our rainbow is bright every, our streets sparkle as much as we do, and the love is here times 11. i think if there's one thing that we as business owners, as community members, as san franciscans have learned from this pandemic, is that we will get by, we will survive and we will thrive. thank you, everyone, for coming out today. please, get vaccinated. shall we cut some ribbon. >> 5, 4, 3, 2, 1! hate ashbury.
4:51 pm
>> the bicycle coalition was giving away 33 bicycles so i applied. i was happy to receive one of them. >> the community bike build program is the san francisco coalition's way of spreading the joy of biking and freedom of biking to residents who may not have access to affordable transportation. the city has an ordinance that we worked with them on back in 2014 that requires city agency goes to give organizations like
4:52 pm
the san francisco bicycle organization a chance to take bicycles abandoned and put them to good use or find new homes for them. the partnerships with organizations generally with organizations that are working with low income individuals or families or people who are transportation dependent. we ask them to identify individuals who would greatly benefit from a bicycle. we make a list of people and their heights to match them to a bicycle that would suit their lifestyle and age and height. >> bicycle i received has impacted my life so greatly. it is not only a form of recreation. it is also a means of getting connected with the community through bike rides and it is also just a feeling of freedom. i really appreciate it. i am very thankful.
4:53 pm
>> we teach a class. they have to attend a one hour class. things like how to change lanes, how to make a left turn, right turn, how to ride around cars. after that class, then we would give everyone a test chance -- chance to test ride. >> we are giving them as a way to get around the city. >> just the joy of like seeing people test drive the bicycles in the small area, there is no real word. i guess enjoyable is a word i could use. that doesn't describe the kind of warm feelings you feel in your heart giving someone that sense of freedom and maybe they haven't ridden a bike in years. these folks are older than the
4:54 pm
normal crowd of people we give bicycles away to. take my picture on my bike. that was a great experience. there were smiles all around. the recipients, myself, supervisor, everyone was happy to be a part of this joyous occasion. at the end we normally do a group ride to see people ride off with these huge smiles on their faces is a great experience. >> if someone is interested in volunteering, we have a special section on the website sf bike.org/volunteer you can sign up for both events. we have given away 855 bicycles, 376 last year. we are growing each and every year. i hope to top that 376 this year.
4:55 pm
we frequently do events in bayview. the spaces are for people to come and work on their own bikes or learn skills and give them access to something that they may not have had access to. >> for me this is a fun way to get outside and be active. most of the time the kids will be in the house. this is a fun way to do something. >> you get fresh air and you don't just stay in the house all day. it is a good way to exercise. >> the bicycle coalition has a bicycle program for every community in san francisco. it is connecting the young, older community. it is a wonderful outlet for the community to come together to have some good clean fun. it has opened to many doors to the young people that will usually might not have a bicycle. i have seen them and they are
4:57 pm
