I'm not sure I've ever made my stance on my favorite baseball team on my blog . . . oh wait, I probably did when they won the World Series in 2010. Because I think they played against my dear friend, Jewels' team and I think some good fun trash talk was issued between me and her and our teams.
Well, I am a Giants fan, all the way. I watched the playoffs against the Phillies, and watched the World Series. I was on the edge of my seat. I was ecstatic. To say the least.
My man Buster Posey knew it instantly - WE WON!!!
My Uncle's company used to have 4 seats on the 3rd baseline that he'd give to us if his name was drawn. Unfortunately, once the economy went south, the company gave up said seats. It also gave up it's box at the A's stadium. Construction company . . .
How do you not love seats like this?! Or not love a gorgeous day in SF???
Getting my farmer's tan on in the big city.
Anyway, we didn't go to tons of games, but we went to one every now and then and they are always good fun. If you ever want the bestest garlic fries ever, just trot on over to the Giants stadium, because that's where they are.
I love the atmosphere of the game in person. Even if they lose, you still had fun rooting for your team and chatting with the folks ya came with. Plus everyone wants to see a player hit a Splash home run in the bay. I haven't seen on in person yet, but I'm sure someday. Maybe. Just maybe.
AT&T Park in San Francisco
Day or night, baseball games are always a good time. Although expensive anymore. And if you don't mind getting lost trying to get out of San Francisco . . . you can always get in but getting out always seems to be a bit problematic. I'm thinking they did that on purpose.
My BFF's very first MLB game!
I love how baseball is a big ass sport in America but a smaller version of it called Rounders over here is just a childhood game lol!
ReplyDeleteLOL Well, we don't understand Cricket, so we're even. LOL And besides, we Americans like our "childhood games" ;o)
DeleteI love reading about other peoples passions. I'm not a big follower of sports but my boyfriend is, so I know how intense this can all get!
ReplyDeleteI usually ask my parents how they're doing because they watch all the games on tv. Watching it at the stadium is the best way to go. Way less boring. lol
DeleteI'm not big on baseball (give me football anyday!) but I have been to a couple of games. Wayyyy back in the day when the old Tiger Stadium was still open. That place is so full of history...was sad when they shut it down and moved to Comerica Park.
ReplyDeleteI've never been much of a football fan, but I'm a 49er's fan when I root. But I understand baseball way better than football! lol
DeleteI grew up in SoCal - Dodgers all the way baby! It would be unAmerican of me to root for the Giants! haha
ReplyDeleteOh them are fightin' words! lol It would be equally unAmerican of me to root for those icky Dodgers. ;o)
DeleteSmall towns are the best. I'm trying to visit all the A-Z Challenge Blogs this month.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by!
DeleteHi, I am on my way to visit a lot of posts today, but I enjoyed your post. I am not a big fan of sports. Give me a good book or a good movie, any day. Ha. My daughter here in Texas and her family are big on going to Rangers games, but they know not to even bother asking me. Ha. My husband loved going to the games with them. Keep up the good work. Best regards to you. Ruby
ReplyDeleteOh my god! That picture!! I love it and it makes me miss you so much! That game was so much fun!
