Giants Baseball

AT&T Park view from the cheap seats - called "reserved view seats" for a reason!

JUNE 30 - On Sunday, I met my dear friend, Bobby Watson and his sons, Nick (my Godson)and Matt in Oakland and we took BART to the City for an afternoon of Giants baseball (vs. the Reds). The only problem was that Sunday was Gay Pride Parade day in San Francisco, which meant that more than a million people decided to ride BART that day. I have been on crowded subways before but this was crazy. We made it the City with very little incident, but the walk tot he ballpark was quite a different story. We saw things that nobody should have to explain to their 10 year old. It was, as is expected, way over the top and completely inappropriate, but nothing that a day at the ballpark could not cure. Unfortunately the Giants lost, but Iwas really there to spend time with the Watsons. I went back to San Jose with them and spent the night. They took me to the airpost this morning for my flight back to Tucson and my final days of life there.
