Quote from Washington Nationals baseball operations president Paul Toboni - I grew up in San Francisco reading the San Francisco Chronicle. Every morning I’d wake up and pull out the Sporting Green. It became part of my routine with my brothers and sisters. The people I ended up reading and feeling connected with – Bruce Jenkins and Scott Ostler and Susan Slusser and Ann Killion and these folks – I had such good fortune being able to read them. I could not imagine a day of opening up the San Francisco Chronicle and the Sporting Green not being there. I feel for all the DC sports fans – kids, adults alike – that this coming week they’re going to open up the Washington Post and there not be a sports section.. It doesn’t feel totally real. And I also feel for Andrew and Spencer and Chelsea and Barry and the incredible work they’ve done. I’ve only been here a short time but been really fortunate to get to know them and be a small part in understanding the professionalism with which they carry themselves and the incredible work they’ve done. Whoever ends up picking up each and every one of them will be really luck to have them within their doors.

Washington #Nationals president of baseball operations opened a video call with media bemoaning the loss of the Post sports department and ball writers Andrew Golden, Spencer Nusbaum, Chelsea Janes and Barry Svrluga, while noting the San Francisco Chronicle's role in shaping him as a youth.
