SAN JOSE – Brock Purdy sat rapt with attention on the California Theatre stage. Next to him, Steve Young, Jeff Garcia and Alex Smith reminisced about their best playoff wins as 49ers quarterbacks when, organically, it was time to teach the new kid about storied Candlestick Park. “It’s too bad, Brock, as much as Levi’s is a beautiful stadium, that you didn’t get to experience Candlestick,” Garcia said of the 49ers’ 1971-2013 home. “Candlestick breathed,” Young chimed in. “The whole thing kind of moved with you.” Added Smith: “Every time I’m driving by Candlestick Park —  the (freeway) sign still says Candlestick Park – I have my kids in the car and they are very tired of hearing about it. I can’t get it out of my head how electric it was to be a part of that.” That trio then described the swirling winds, a “creepy” tunnel to the locker room, a soggy field that played mind games with opponents, and, storybook victories that vaulted the 49ers among the NFL’s elite franchises. Of course, the most famous game at Candlestick saw the 1981 team

FRESNO, Calif. (KFSN) — Banyan Tree, a new cannabis dispensary in Northeast Fresno, held its grand opening on Saturday. It’s one of several legal cannabis dispensaries operating in the city. After a very slow start, Fresno City leaders expect cannabis revenue to continue to bloom, with 13 businesses open out of the 19 that are allowed. “Banyan Tree is 100% local, locally owned,” said Ace Castillo, the CEO of Banyan Tree. “Local investments and dollars that came to help open this place.” The City expects to bring in about $7 million in cannabis revenue for the 2025 fiscal year, especially with 13 storefronts now operating. But last year, the city fell short. RELATED: Legal cannabis struggles to reach full bloom as City of Fresno misses projections “It was due largely in part to only having two dispensaries open,” said Fresno City Council President Annalisa Perea. “What we’ve seen recently is a vast influx of new storefronts opening.” Perea said a maximum of 21 dispensaries will be allowed to do business in the city, which would be about three stores per district.

By ABC7.com staff Sunday, May 19, 2024 2:03AM The video reportedly shows Sean “Diddy” Combs assaulting his ex-girlfriend Cassie Ventura at a Century City hotel in 2016. LOS ANGELES — The Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office says time has expired to file charges on a disturbing assault caught on video allegedly involving music mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs. The video, newly made public, is believed to depict a 2016 incident in which Combs, wearing only a towel, assaults his former girlfriend Cassie Ventura at a Century City hotel. DA George Gascón’s office says if the incident did indeed happen in 2016, it would be too late to file criminal charges. “We are aware of the video that has been circulating online allegedly depicting Sean Combs assaulting a young woman in Los Angeles,” the DA’s office said. “We find the images extremely disturbing and difficult to watch.” “If the conduct depicted occurred in 2016, unfortunately we would be unable to charge as the conduct would have occurred beyond the timeline where a crime of assault can be prosecuted. As of today, law enforcement has not presented

The Athletics’ free-fall continued Saturday in a 5-3 road loss to the Kansas City Royals, with their record having dropped to 10 games under .500. Seth Brown gave the A’s some reason for hope in the second inning with a mammoth two-run home run against American League earned run average leader Seth Lugo, but Oakland (19-29) never led. The grim march backwards continues as the A’s sink in the American League West standings. It was their seventh straight loss, ninth in the last 10 games and 12 of the last 14 after sitting at .500 at 17-17 on May 4. Brown’s home run was his fourth of the season, with Kyle Isbel hitting his fourth for the Royals. Kansas City improved to 28-19. A’s manager Mark Kotsay was encouraged with his team getting 11 hits, even with the run output limited to Brown’s blast. “We just didn’t get the big hit, the two-out hit, which they were able to capitalize on in the fifth to add on to their lead,” Kotsay told reporters. “Ultimately, I think the offense, there are better signs.

When famed stylist and hair care executive Fabio Sementilli’ was found him stabbed to death on the patio of his home in Woodland Hills, California, on January 23, 2017, the crime was assumed to be a burglary gone wrong. Since 2012, police were noticing a rising trend of burglaries in upscale neighborhoods in Los Angeles that were causing alarm among residents. As detectives got to work and looked deeper, they began to realize something more sinister than a burglary gone wrong happened at the home, something that would lead them on what they described as a trail of love and murder. “However this went down,” Fabio Sementilli’s sister Mirella Sementilli told ABC News, “it was executed brilliantly because we were deceived.” ABC News’ Chris Connelly speaks with Mirella Sementilli, the sister of Fabio Sementilli, in an “ABC 20/20” interview.

SAN FRANCISCO — When Luis Matos debuted as the second-youngest player in the majors last June, “Matos Mania” was born. The Venezuelan outfield phenom collected hits and scored runs at a rate that put him in the same conversation as Willie McCovey in franchise lore. Matos, now, is almost a year older. He boasts somewhere in the range of 20 pounds of extra muscle. It’s time for Matos 2.0. With another six RBIs in the Giants’ 14-4 win over the Rockies on Saturday, Matos surpassed even more exclusive company. This time around, the inner-circle Hall of Famer with whom the Giants’ young outfielder is keeping company is Orlando Cepeda, who held the franchise record for the most runs driven in over a two-game stretch at 22 years old or younger with nine between June 3 and 4, 1959. Matos had already matched Cepeda when he stepped to the plate in the eighth inning, then added two more RBIs to his ledger with his third hit of the afternoon. He has 11 RBIs in his past two games, matching Jack Clark (1982) and Bill Terry (1932)
