reggie puts people in ballparks. he has some of the elements of a ruth.has a style that makes him a great player. if he stays healthy and plays enough then you can probably generate extra people in your ballpark. therefore, he is worth something. steinbrenner's investment paid off. reggie jackson took the yankees to the world series his first year in new york. this time, they came out on top. the yankees were back in the series three out of the five years of the contract jackson and steinbrenner had signed. yankee home attendance up over 100,000 in jackson's first year in new york. reggie! reggie! reggie! they even nad a candy bar after him. reggie! reggie! the multimillion, multiyear contracts players sign today take our breath away. it's a lot of money for playing a game. but the calculations on both sides are strictly business. an employee offering a rare skill and a following of paying customers can command a high salary. when hiring an employee means higher profits most employers see the higher salary as a good investment. but why is there such a dif

we're sitting in one of 22 new ballparks here. the grand old game has never been this popular and i'm proud of where we are. ♪ ♪>> let me talk about relationships and personalities and people. vincent succeeded as commissioner of baseball. he became a great friend of yours. >> one of the best friends i ever had in the world. when i was chairman of the commission search committee in 1982, i interviewed people and that is where bart and i met. the first night we walked the streets of new york until 2:00. i was a yankees fan and he was a red sox fan. >> he became commissioner of the national league. >> that is right and then commissioner and then tragically died september 1 of 1989. bart would've been a great commissioner. >> did you talk to him the night before he died? >> i did. i had gotten home from dinner and i was reading that the brewers had won a game on thursday afternoon. i called bart. left a message. at about 12:30, he called me. he had been out and he said, is everything all right, buddy, you sound -- >> buddy is what he

like to say that you know dealing with the -- when they built candlestick -- i'm talking about the ballpark -- they removed a lot of the ground from bay view hill and bay view hunter's point and that was the burial ground for the olohne tribe and i have a concern when they talk about exploding the area. you know, it seems to me -- what's going to happen with the sacral remains in that area? i know no one has talked about it or discussed it at all but we do have a grave concern and i have another grave concern not on the agenda is that when we talk about jobs, we passed the city -- the board of supervisors passed local hiring and every time i go to a meeting, i said to and i even said it to tiffany bohee at one time when she was employed by what's his name -- you worked for before you came here -- the fact that there is no state federal certified compliance officer in not one department i think that's a crime to make sure that the residents of san francisco are actually getting the jobs working on the jobs and getting trained under the local hiring process that was passed a couple of years a

you are near the ballpark. you are in the fog. you know what this could look like.ood morning. it is pretty foggy out here. right across at & t park. this is the area though ideal this proposed pop up beer garden and venue is. the area could have other restaurants and retail shops as well. i want to go to the artist rendering of what it would look like. it's being named the yard. it's also being touted as a pop up venue because it really wouldn't take long to build. if you look at the rendering there. the beer garden, other restaurants, the developer says they are using about 15 shipping containers from the port of oakland as buildings and even as seating. there are plans perhaps to use this 18,000 square foot area for movies or small concerts. now the developers as well as the team see this as an opportunity to use the space to generate more business for the port but also generate buzz once the plans are finalized for the mission bay project around the ballpark. the space obviously gets busier during the baseball season but they hope this can be used year round. th

granted this phenomenon in surreptitious, but i'm wondering if you have any ballpark -- how widespread is this? >> well every afghan will know someone. there will be -- every afghan who's not an elite ex-patriot who's lived abroad for many years will immediately offer up an example of someone in their extended family, a neighbor a great grandmother who did this. there's usually one in a school that will be referred to, officers and midwives will know of these children because they've been brought in as boys, and they prove to be girls. it cuts across geography, education, class, ethnicity. the journalistic term it's not uncommon. that's as far as i will go but there's no -- afghans many times will not even say how many children they have. so they certainly won't divulge if they have a daughter dressed as a son. so in that regard it's -- there are no statistics. it's not possible to say. >> sadly are we out of time? >> we are out of time. >> this was so fascinating. >> i would like to thank the three of you, and i would like to invite the three of you and everyone else to our book signi

>> guest: i don't have that ballpark figure off the top of my head. what i do know is we spend more on average than competitor nations. so we often hear a lot about the schools in south korea japan finland. we actually send -- spend a little more than they do and our outcomes are mediocre. our kids are average in reading they're below average in math. so i often get the question where does the money go to in our system? you know, we have quite generous pensions and health plans. one of the reasons why is we don't have a big social safety net that provides for health care provided by government in this country so teachers have fought for that to offset the relatively low pay that we were talking about. and the history of how teachers' unions have achieved some of that is a story i tell in the book. extracurricular activities, sports, transportation and international schools do so while we're spending more it might not necessarily be focused toward achievement or students' academics. >> host: so how much of it dose toward the teachers' pensions? and is

chilly conditions and winds west at 14 and we dip down to 23 and it will be cold but the 23 is in the ballparkthis time of year, tomorrow is dry but on saturday that is our next issue an area of low pressure that gets off the coast and goes up the coast in typical nor'easter fashion. but this is not a typical nor'easter while it has a lot of moisture it doesn't have the cold air that these usually use to make for major snowfalls we are not expecting that out of this there is a case of how close to the coast it tracks closer means more precipitation and farther away means less. it's not a situation where we have a lot of cold air in place there is a good amount of mild air when you look at the models, the rpm wants all rain here, 1.9 inches sounds good out of the euro and 2.7 not out of the question what we are looking at is a fairly light snowfall total. we will use one particular run of a model i particularly like, at 12:30 on the morning on saturday, wee hours of the morning when you go to bed you'll start to see snow pass through the region but by as early as 4:30 to about 7:00 there is war

are those numbers in the ballpark? and how does that reflect on the difference between the foundation we are building for the economy of the next generation, and what our competitors are doing? >> that's a great question. those numbers are in the ballpark. and, you know here's -- there's several challenges. some of which you've pointed out. one of them is that our global competitors have the benefit of picking and choosing from the things that we've done with our system, and figuring out which of those things they're going to engage in, whether it's rail or highways or ports or whatever, and improving upon what we've done. and it then becomes a matter of for your manufacturer, if you can get things from shop to port faster someplace else it creates a competitive disadvantage for us. so one thing is that the rest of the world's looked at what we've done, and they're building new stuff that in many cases is better than ours. secondly we have an aging system. you know some of this stuff that you're talking about in china

brian flores is live near the bull -- ballpark. have an idea of what it will look like if it will happen. >> reporter: yes. an interesting concept, isn't it? we're live here right across from a very foggy at&t park this morning near china basin park. in the parking lot you can see the popup beer garden, possibly restaurants and retail shops that could be here pretty soon. want to go to artist renderings of what it is supposed to look like. it's touted as a popup ven un. if you look at the -- venue. if you look at the renderings, they are mainly unused shipping containers from the port of oakland. 15 are being converted into oakland. restaurants are planned, aconwith a coffee shop. there's space for an outdoor food patio. there's plan to use the space for movies or small concerts. now, the developer as well as the team see this as an opportunity to use the space to generate more business for the port. but also generate buzz once the plans are finalized for the mission bay project around the ballpark. throughout the year, the space g

let's start with a live look outside, our live, 38 today high temperature, average high 42, in the ballpark. 36 downtown, dew points still below freezing. there's some wiggle room for temps to fall a little, but don't see temps falling much tonight. if you're at freezing now, you'll probably stay there. winds south, southeast at 6. here's radar over the past couple hours. the main batch of showers, snow showers and sleet and rain showers across into the delmarva, a little leftover activity into the northern part of the viewing area, hagerstown and cumberland. we'll still see advisories continue for prince george's county, the district, fairfax and points north till 9:00 for pockets of freezing drizzle. let's zoom into the southwest, big storm developing. we've got a golf tournament out there, tiger's debut, and we've also got the super bowl. it will be out of here by super bowl time. in the meantime the clipper itself tracked way to the north. it did pull a cold front through and gave us our little narrow band of showers. we're not going to exactly clear out super fast, but i think we'll se

i think for those of us who are -- who have been for the last 13 years impacted by the ballpark a lot of the same issues that we brought up with the 3032 arena still apply and that is traffic congestion. how do you get cars away from the arena so there's not a glut of traffic of muni that gets in the way? the warriors call it event management. we call it quality of life. we want to make sure there's adequate funding which there isn't for the stadium to deal with these quality of life issues, including traffic, transportation, trash clean up, all of these things. one of the things that catherine put on the next steps list was addressing those very issues, and while they don't have anything directly to do with the major phase application they will have to do with the approval process. we're also concerned about making sure that this project doesn't take over the neighborhood. we have spent a lot of time working on designs for p-22, bay front park. we know that with the arena there it will have to change. we want to acknowledge the presence of the arena but we don't want it to be an aren

are those numbers in the ballpark? how does that reflect upon the difference between the foundation that we are building for the economy of the next generation and what our papers are doing? >> it's a great question, and those those numbers are in the ballpark. you know, there are several challenges some of which you have pointed out. out. one of them is that our global competitors have the benefit of picking and choosing from the things that we have done with our system and figuring out which of those things they're going to engage in, in, whether it's real or highways reports or whatever and improving upon what we have done. and it then becomes a matter if you are a manufacturer if you can get things from shop to port's pastor someplace else, it creates a competitive disadvantage for us. so one thing is that the rest of the world has looked at what we have done and are building new stuff that in many cases better than ours. secondly we have an aging system you know some of the stuff that you're talking about in china

>> yes, director merritt is in the back so she can answer any technical questions, but ballpark on the storage, susan correct me if i'm wrong, is approximately $100,000 a year for these 50 for two hours a day? right. so if you assume use of no more than two hours a day just on the -- at the threshold of the entry and during searches where we're not violating anybody's privacy would be about $100,000 a year for 50. and then, depending on the record retention, a minimum of one year and a maximum of 7, so just to do this pilot, which was a $250,000 grant, we may go into somewhere in the neighborhood of at least that amount in general fund dollars to match record retention. so i believe personally that just like other departments will catch up to us and cell phones will be standard equipment some day for police officers as they are today in san francisco that some day body cameras will be standard equipment for all police officers, but right now the cost to put them on the 1600 officers that just got phones, you can see what the cost would be to run them 24 hours a day. >> okay, vice presi
