We got the half day off work last Thursday to go to the Giants vs. Phillies game at SBC Park. I thought about posting the photos to my images page, but I decided I was too hideous in most of them, so I’m posting them here (at least, the ones that don’t include me).
This was my second baseball game ever and my first time at SBC Park. What I would have posted for the comedy value (if I weren’t so ugly) is three hockey players sitting in a row at a baseball game, as well as one hockey fan dating a hockey player. We spent most of the time eating and applying sun block and gawking at a fire out in the parking lot that we could see from our seats. I still don’t quite understand baseball.
The Phillies walked Barry Bonds twice, under pressure from the chicken song, chickens strutting about on the huge display, and the camera zooming in on fans swinging rubber chickens around. It was cute. I think my favorite part about baseball is singing “Take Me Out to the Ball Game.” You won’t hear me refer to hockey as “cute,” unless I’m talking about Patrick Marleau, so baseball is a sort of welcome diversion from all this playoff seriousness. What a very slow game it is, though.
