HUMMMMM BABY!
I just got back from Pac Bell Park! (which is actually now SBC Park I guess)
Giants vs. Cubs! Very cool. My sister was able to get us some comp seats.
It was a good game - saw a home run, and lots of action. We had good seats, too - right next to Left Field.
I love going to watch baseball games. There's something about walking into a stadium that makes me an instant fan. Tonight was free Giants Towel night - we all got these little orange towels to swing around. It was a lot of fun.
I left early (7th inning) so that Dick could pick me up (on the scooter) easily, without having to worry about traffic.
it looks like I didn't miss out on anything, except perhaps traffic!
sidenote
I realize that the whole "Hummm-Baby" thing is really old. It was from the late 80s. It's the ony tagline that I can think of when it comes to The Giants, though. I was really into The Giants in 1989 - that was the year they wen to the world series against The Oakland "A's". It was the infamous "Battle of the Bay".
I lived in Ohio at the time. Can you believe that? I had just moved to Dayton in early September of that year. My sister and I were watching Game 3 of the World Series, when all of a sudden, it went off the air.
Yep. It was The Loma Prieta Earthquake. 6.9 on the Richter Scale.
That was so weird. I lived in California my entire life (I was 19 at the time), moved to Ohio (temporarily) and 6 weeks later, the 2nd largest earthquake in The United State's history strikes. When the television signal came back up, the announcers said they had an earthquake. My sister and I figured it must have been pretty huge to affect the TV signal. We called our Mom immediately, and managed to get through right away. I think we were lucky because we knew about the earthquake and its severity just before the phone lines jammed. My Mom & Dad's power was out, so we relayed any information that we were getting off the news to my Mom. So surreal.
