A Masters Champion
At age 43 Tiger Woods won the 2019 Masters by a single stroke, ahead of Dustin Johnson and Xander Schauffele on Sunday. The victory is his fifth Masters championship and is his first major win since the 2008 U.S. Open. Woods now has claimed 15 major titles; Jack Nicklaus holds the record of 18 major championships. Tiger is seen above in San Francisco in 2009 when he was part of the winning Presidents Cup's team played at the Harding Park Golf Club. Photo by Ed Jay.

San Francisco Giants Report
San Francisco Giants outfielder Gerardo Parra left the field on Monday night after being hit by a pitch thrown by San Diego Padres pitcher Brad Wieck in the seventh inning. Parra fell to the ground in pain, only getting up after a few minutes. After the game Giants manager Bruce Bochy said Parra suffered a cut on his lip and would be available to play the next night. Parra was not the only player hit by a pitch. Giants starter Madison Bumgarner twice plunked Padres rookie shortstop Fernando Tatis Jr., in the second and seventh innings. Photo by Ed Jay.

The San Francisco Giants improved their season record to 7-10 last week after a three-game bout against the San Diego Padres, followed by a four-game series versus the Colorado Rockies.
Kevin Pillar belted a grand slam to put the Giants up 5-0 in the fourth inning on Monday, but the Padres offense proved unwilling to quit, bouncing back for a 6-5 victory. The Padres scored five runs off of Madison Bumgarner in just over six innings and plated the go-ahead run off of
Reyes Moronta in the seventh.
Kevin Pillar was clutch with the bases loaded again in Tuesday's 7-2 victory, scoring three with a bases-clearing double that would not yield the same response from San Diego. Derek Holland allowed just one run on five hits over seven innings pitched, in which he struck out nine.
An unusual highlight came in their matchup against the Colorado Rockies on Friday night. After tying the game at 2-2 in the bottom of the sixth inning, the Rockies and Giants fought a defensive battle for twelve more innings, finally resulting in a 3-2 Giants victory in 18 innings. This double-header-length matchup, though certainly exhausting for both rosters, proved not too taxing for the Giants, who returned to Oracle Park on Saturday to earn a 5-2 decision, their third straight.
San Francisco was unable to complete the four-game series sweep, falling 4-0 on Sunday. The Giants now head to Washington, D.C. to face the Nationals starting a three-game set on Tuesday before making their way to Pittsburgh on Friday for a three-game matchup with the Pirates.

Oakland A's Report
'Khrush' Davis has been sending Big Flies out of the yard with remarkable regularity and last Friday belted his 10th of the year, in the 8-6 defeat of the Texas Rangers in Arlington, TX. Davis leads MLB in home runs and has eight homers and 21 RBIs in his last 11 games at the Rangers' stadium.

* * *
Oakland ended Sunday's contest with a 8-7 loss to Texas, snapping their four-game winning streak. Their nine-game road trip concluded at 4-5 and the A's are now 10-9 for the season.
After being swept 3-0 by the Houston Astros, the Athletics rebounded with a 3-1 series against the Baltimore Orioles. Oakland unleashed their heralded offensive power, blasting 14 home runs during the series and second baseman Jurickson Profar, who entered Tuesday's lineup batting .120, went 4-for-5 at the plate and produced five RBIs, including a solo home run.
Khris Davis mashed his 200th home run on Wednesday, with a two-blast effort to help the A's to a 10-3 win. Davis went yard twice again on Thursday morning and continued to display his home run outburst on Friday against the Texas Rangers. He is the early season MLB home run leader with 10 bombs.
The A's continued winning in Arlington on Friday by a score of 8-6. It also appeared they would win their fifth straight win on Sunday until their 7-4 lead dissolved in the bottom of the eight inning when RHP Joakim Soria allowed four runs for a 8-7 defeat.
The Athletics return to the Oakland Coliseum on Tuesday, looking to redeem themselves in a two-game stint against the Houston Astros before facing the Toronto Blue Jays at home over
the weekend.

A Financial Sprint within a Marathon
In the world of pro sports the predominant colors brought home by athletes from their daily trips to the office are black and blue. In the front offices of sports franchises and organizations the fluid that flows through the sports deal pipeline is green.
Every day we are inundated, informed, involved and amazed by sports business deals which shatter what we thought were unreachable standards.
Look no further than Mike Trout, Bryce Harper and Manny Machado's new contracts at a combined
billion
dollars. Records on the playing fields may stand the test of time but monetary records relating to team value, league broadcast agreements, premium ticket costs, stadium construction and costs of all manner of sports inventory might as well be signed in disappearing ink, waiting for the next record.
The business engine of global sports is a financial sprint within a marathon driven by an ROI (Return On Investment), wrapped in EBITDA (
Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, and Amortization)
, driven by metrics, defined by analytics, predominated by borrowed money and hopefully leading to yearly profits and stratospheric asset appreciation.
For all the focus on competitive commerce, time is the most valuable and precious resource in the ever-growing global world of sports business.
As I look at where many organizations and their executives are falling short, it is in the area of time. Not time management but the use of time as a valuable commodity for mentoring, relationship building, networking, management by walking around and simple human-to-human face-to-face conversation.
In many instances executives, managers and team leaders are having to run a 24-Hour-Day Steeplechase and falling by the wayside. They are increasingly waylaid by the daily pressures of the job which is complicated by league mandates, ownership pressures, media responsibilities, the Bermuda Triangle of endless meetings and interactions with fans and corporate partners while trying to wedge in family activities. The ongoing tidal wave of nanosecond digitized mobile communication is putting greater pressure on the ability of managers and their staffs to spend quality team-building time together.
A few days ago I received a call from a team executive who was questioning how he should work on allocating precious minutes in the midst of a crucial time-eating project. I told him that even the featured high wire star at Cirque Du Soleil is going to have a difficult time balancing the demands of the job and his everyday life when the spotlight is turned off. You might want to think about time as the most valuable gift you have both to give and receive.
From time to time it might be valuable for team leaders to push the race for the almighty dollar to the side and realize that a hen is only an egg's way of making another egg.
It takes time but it's worth it.

San Francisco Golden Gate Rugby Club 38 vs. Old Mission Beach Athletic Club 24
Man of the Match, Siaosi Nonu, dashes through the OMBAC midfield defense and on his way to score his second try of the day
Ray Sheeran Field, Treasure Island: The San Francisco Golden Gate Rugby Club (SFGG) held a Club Day celebration under bright sunshine on Saturday, April 13. The full day of rugby featured players from the Under 10 Youth, High School Varsity A, B and Junior divisions, the Over 40s, as well as the Pacific Premiership entry, hosted San Diego's Old Mission Beach Athletic Club (OMBAC).
SFGG dominated OMBAC to win by a score of 38-24. The win was only the second of the season for SFGG as they struggle through a rebuilding year. Text and photo by Austin Brewin.

Coach Neil Foote commented on the focus of the entire team throughout the week and on Saturday saw contributions toward the win from both the starters and reserves. Flanker Siaosi Nonu had his best game with SFGG, scoring three tries. Coach Foote was not pleased with the number of unforced errors of judgement which has plagued the Club over the season, providing comfort and points to the opponents. The referee handed out three or four yellow cards to highlight the point. Text and photo by Austin Brewin.

Pepe Akuila takes the ball from the scrum and forces the OMBAC midfielders to commit to the pressure of the SFGG's
pattern of controlling the middle with the heavies which opens the outside as the defense adjusts
The San Francisco Golden Gate Rugby Club Day is about FAMILY. The players and members of SFGG dedicated the day to Lahaina Kaitu'u Fukofuka, who has supported the Green and Black through thick and thin over the last decade. She suffered a heart attack several days ago and is not expected to survive. She has been a loving wife, mom and shining presence in the Club Family. Our love and prayers go out to the Fukofuka family from all of your family at SFGG.

Sonoma Raceway -- Top the Cops program returns for 25th season
High school students and law enforcement officers prepare to burn rubber
SONOMA, Calif. (April 11, 2019) -- High school students and Bay Area law enforcement officers will compete head-to-head on Sonoma Raceway's quarter-mile drag strip, as the Top the Cops™ program returns for its 25th season next Wednesday, April 17.
Top the Cops runs as part of the raceway's popular weekly program, Wednesday Night Drags & Sonoma Drift, powered by Universal Technical Institute (UTI). Top the Cops offers an alternative to illegal street racing and gives teens the chance to race against local law enforcement officers, who compete in full uniform in their official vehicles. The program also provides a unique environment for the officers to talk with teens about safe driving and the rules of the road.
"The Top the Cops program has continued to be an incredible and unique platform for young drivers and local officers to connect with one another," said retired Santa Rosa police officer
and program founder Kevin McKinnie.
Top the Cops will run in conjunction with the Wednesday Night Drags program at Sonoma Raceway, April 17-Aug. 28. Participants must have a current high school identification card and driver's license, and a car that passes a simple technical inspection. Students are given practice runs, which then leads to head-to-head competition against an officer in his/her patrol car.
The five participating law enforcement agencies for 2019 are: Sonoma County Sherriff's Dept., California Highway Patrol, Novato Police Dept., Fairfield Police Dept., Petaluma Police Dept.
Gates open at 3:30 p.m. each day, with racing from 5-10 p.m. Time trials for Top the Cops begin at 4 p.m. with eliminations at 7 p.m. Cost is $15 for students (with high school ID card), $10 for spectators and FREE for kids 12 and under. For more information about the Top the Cops or Wednesday Night Drags program, call 800-870-RACE (7223) or visit
www.SonomaRaceway.com/WND. For track weather conditions,
please call 800-870-RACE ext. 209.

Super Time at Super Bowl LIII
by Arif Khatib
I attended the world's top sports agent and the Bay Area's own Leigh Steinberg's Super Bowl Party the day before the game with over 1,500 attendees, including many NFL Legends and two team owners.
This was Leigh's 32nd annual Super Bowl Party and is now the second-most sought after invitation behind the NFL's Party. On Sunday, before the game, I was off to a Super Bowl party at the lovely home of Morehouse College luminaries, James and Faye, with an invitation from former
San Francisco Chronicle journalist Ron Thomas. They put on the Ritz with hi-quality southern home-cooked soul food, plenty of liquor, high-spirited guests and with a theater-sized screen and large leather seats.
Whew! It's time to bid Atlanta good bye and head home from the world's busiest airport. Oh, by the way, the Patriots won the game, 13-3.
