Brewers vs Giants in San Francisco

Here's a good look at the Levi's Landing from the left field area, and you can see just how small the seating area is out there. Even though they have less bleachers in right field than in most Major League parks, the seating on top of the wall adds character to the area. But the left field has all of those silly things that are unique to this park, such as this giant baseball glove. Why Paul Bunyan was playing baseball in San Francisco, I'll never know. Someone call his Mom's house and tell her that he left his glove here. He'll get a spanking and a lecture about being responsible.

In this day and age of professional sports, advertising and sponsorships are a part of the game as much as sacrifice bunts and 3 run homeruns. So we might as well just try to have fun with them. Like this giant Coca-Cola bottle out in left field. It could have just stood there as a tribute to commercialism, but they decided to put 2 tube slides in it so kids of all ages could have something to do out here. I know that they are supposed to be watching the game, but it's apparently a lot to ask the short attention span youth of today.

I'll have to admit that I was goofing around on the slide instead of watching baseball, but I'm sorry. My childish instincts took over. But this slide acted as a portal between the 2nd and 1st decks of the outfield! Screw stairs, I'm going down the tube slide! I think every building should give you the options of tube slide or stairs.

AT&T Park is on the Northwest tip of the peninsula that San Francisco lies on. To the North is the Bay Bridge, which connects San Francisco to Oakland. So if you are familiar with that landmark, then you have an idea of where this is located. If not, I suggest you learn to use the Google on the Internet machine.

By this time the Brewers were down by a comfortable margin (10-5) and we had completed our lap around the ballpark. So we continued along the field level and stopped behind home plate to watch the 9th and final inning of the game. Mike Cameron extended the game with an RBI hit in the 9th, but it was a moot point because the Brewers ended up losing  10-6. But we hung out next to this very nice women who was an usher at the park. Since I work at Miller Park, we found some common ground and talked about how we had the sweetest jobs in the world because we get paid to watch baseball. If I was 20 years older, I probably would've taken a run at her. But I didn't, and we left cause the game was over.
