Your humble blogger is back to San Francisco after a long, dry winter to celebrate baseball. I know that football is the most popular sport in the United States, but really, only 16 games? You need at least 300-400 games during a regular baseball season, especially since each one lasts at least 8 hours. A little hyperbolic of course, but I am leading to a point - as I approach infinity. I love baseball. Plus, the San Francisco Giants are a pretty good team for fans.
For the last few years, the Giants have opened up AT&T Park to fans to meet the players, explore the ballpark, and most importantly, buy tickets! Yes, they were even selling tickets in the Visitors Dugout. You do save about $20 per ticket on "convenience" charges though. After they won their first World Series, and then their second World Series, the annual event is even more popular. Plus, it's still free and a great excuse to bring the family to San Francisco for a great day.
Most of the players and coaches were not only signing autographs in the concession stands like the Baby Giraffe seen above, but they were giving interviews and showing off the new home orange jerseys. Surprisingly, they had plenty on hand to sell. Even though Mr. Belt was not selling any nachos or hot dogs, everyone else was. The weather was also perfect for overpriced junk food. Tasty, overpriced junk food.
Still, this is about the fans, even the young Panda fans on daddy's shoulders. The Giants organization does a great job of encouraging their fan experience, which is helpful when their team is falling behind in the wins. Everyone in attendance had a great time walking around and seeing their heroes. Enjoy the rest of the pictures below.
