Oh, buoy. The San Francisco Port Commission has decided to put up buoys in the bay and outlaw motorized boats within 70 feet of the right-field promenade of the Giants’ Pacific Bell Park.

Anybody caught using a propeller-driven craft in the no-motor zone could be fined up to $500 and face possible jail time.
