Reporter its a little lonely to be a giants fan. There arent many people wearing orange or black. It is a moving sea of blue. Its also safe to say that tonight, that moving sea of blue is a little less confident than it was last night. To quote a royals fan, we need a little bit of luck and we found them getting it in some strange places. As temperatures dropped, the leaves turned a bit in kansas city last night. Thats good news in a city celebrating a fall classic and looking for new heroes to add in right field. Frank white, george brett. Greatest player ever to wear the uniform. Reporter who needs the heroes when kansas city has the gnome. Hes styrofoam. Yes, but hes dressed appropriately.

I live in that world. Reporter has anything ever taken off like this . Oh, no. No. Reporter it is ten feet tall, weighs maybe 100 pounds and yet has become a magnet even to San Francisco fans who swear that getting their picture taken with the gnome is not a jinx. The gnome is starting to turn orange and black. I have nothing to say. Reporter in this moving sea of blue, its another splash of color and give them credit. If this had not happened at kansas city, we would see Something Like this and say only in San Francisco. Now that you have the gnome, do you get in the game . I havent yet. Nobodys invited me in there. Im surprised they let me come this far, actually. Reporter speaking of coming in, there they are going into the stadium now. Thats a live picture. You might have a question, you might wonder how the gnome gets to the stadium every day. The answer is in the back of a pickup truck, a small pickup truck, prone with its gnome stand feet sticking out the back. In kansas city, Wayne Freedman, abc 7 news. I didnt realize he was portable. I thought he just stayed there. He looked like cement or something. Thats very bizarre. Credit the artist. Absolutely. Thank you, wayne.

Students and activists gathered at a memorial rally on the Sonoma State University campus to mark one year since the teenager was shot and killed by a Sonoma County sheriffs deputy. Lopez was carrying an airsoft pellet gun. Deputy gelhouse told investigators he thought it was an assault rifle. Poor little andy never had a chance. Reporter what visually differentiates a toy gun from a real one is a colored tip which friends say lopezs may have been missing. Its difficult for officers to arriving on the scene to make that splitsecond decision. Reporter the senator coauthored a bill just signed into law which requires the exterior of a toy gun to be a bright color with a fluorescent band. But that law does not go into effect until 2016. Senator evans says manufacturers and retailers were worried about losing money and needed time to make the change. It is disturbing and i would hope that responsible retailers would get them off the shelves, not sell them, get them off the shelves, remove them as quickly as possible. Reporter jonathan melrod, a human rights attorney, isnt sure this is the answer. Its a bandaid on a very large cancer. Reporter he says the real issue is police brutality, especially against people of color. The deputy was never charged with a crime. Meanwhile, lopezs family posted a statement on facebook.
