07/03/2009 Baseball!

Last Friday, I went to my first baseball game...San Francisco Giants vs Houston Astros.  The AT&T Park is a nice space, but it was very windy and cold sitting on the bleachers.   I was definitely glad that I had my fleece and windshirt.

I don't think I understand the appeal of baseball.  Despite the valiant attempts of the group I went with, I don't think I had a handle on what was happening on the field.  Apparently it was unusual that the Giants were up by 13 runs (including 2? home runs) to nil in the first three innings.  We didn't stay to the end of the game - nothing much happened after those first few innings.  I guess baseball games are an excuse for people to hang out and eat expensive food from the concession stands?

The point of baseball games is to talk to your friends, eat hot dogs, and drink beer. It's definitely *not* to watch baseball.
