The Mayor and his minister of Sports and Fitness went to a Giants game Sat. nite. They played the Oakland A's @ AT&T Park IFO 36,089 fans. It was one of the warmest June nits on record in SF-in the 80's! The Gigantes won, although the outcome was in doubt until closer Brian Wilson came in the 8th inning and shut them down with the bases loaded. He gave up 2 hits in the ninth, but still prevailed and held on to a one run victory.
We took the GG Ferry in w/ 500 other fans and enjoyed the comfort going and coming. We topped off the nite with a snack @ the Brick & Bottle in Corte madera(old IZZY's).
We dropped early so the Mayor could rise early to watch world Cup soccer at dawn.
The mayor has enjoyed the World Cup, but, the vuvuzelas are making me crazy. The noise is obnoxious and I'm watching at home!
The players are having problems communicating, and I'm sure this noise maker issue will come up for discussion @ FIFA meetings soon.
I love the costumes and head dresses of the fans: looks like Mardi Gras.
