""If there is one day that I cannot miss in my life, it is tomorrow. Bandage this MF up and I will come back any other day.""
""That parade is without question one of the very best days of my life.""
"Schaaf's staff worried that without the use of her right hand, she would be too unsteady on it to ride alone."
"When the Warriors won the championship again in 2017 and 2018, they rode the snail car in the parade together again."
Oakland boasts a rich history of sports figures, including Rickey Henderson and Bill Russell. Contemporary stars like Stephen Curry and Alysa Liu also represent the city. A notable story involves former Mayor Libby Schaaf, who broke her hand but insisted on attending the Warriors' championship parade. She received a Warriors-themed cast and rode a unique art car with MC Hammer, a former A's bat boy. This partnership continued during subsequent championship parades, highlighting the city's sports culture and community spirit.
