Kim Foxx, progressive prosecutors weigh achievements and setbacks in U. of C. panel – Hyde Park Herald

Growing up, Chesa Boudin, the progressive former district attorney of San Francisco, stunk as a baseball player in the Hyde Park-Kenwood Little League. Now, at 43, he doesn’t have much to fondly remember by way of athletic accomplishments from those days. What he does recall, however, is one stiflingly humid summer day in the late 1980s over at the baseball diamond on 47th Street and Cornell Drive, when he took his eye off a pitch. Men were arguing on the nearby basketball court. Then, shots rang out. The coaches shouted. They yelled at the boys to drop to the ground or hide under the benches.
