One day with the need to make public transit connections will be a big time constraint. The Giants play in a great stadium, and because it's an even year, you'll be seeing them on their way to another world series. If you really want to visit RBW, you could make that a day by borrowing a bike from them (or from a local lister), and taking a ride in the foothills of Mt. Diablo, or all the way up if you're in good shape. It might be a 100 degree day in late July, but, hey, it's a dry heat. There are plenty of listers who would volunteer as tour guide should you choose that option. Alcatraz, meh, watch *The Rock* and you'll see most of it.
