In a ritual spanning decades and generations, San Francisco's baseball franchise held their season opener at AT&T Park yesterday in blazing sunlight. A full house enjoyed the game against the Arizona Diamondbacks. Pitcher Tim Hudson, the 38 year old former A's player, put in a solid performance that delighted the crowd. The Giants played long ball, hitting home runs and winning in fine fashion, 7-3.
Friends of the Mayor sat in a special section: Corona Beer sponsored a "Creative beach" section, complete with beach sand. The first pitch was thrown by a 5 year old boy dressed in a Batman costume and has endeared himself to members of the team.
The Giants have been winning with style already this season, coming into the game with an impressive 12-3 record. A good start for a season that runs for 6 months all the way to October. Where will the Giants be in October? Time will tell.
GO GIANTS!
