I definitely wasn't going to miss going to a Giants game while in San Francisco, so we got tickets for the last game of their home stand against the Rockies on August 27th, our first day there. My dad has always been a big Giants fan and we went to games before on our trips to San Francisco. In fact, Troy and I planned our trip around the game since the Giants were going to be on the road after the 27th.
We arrived pretty early because we were unsure how reliable the bus system would be and we wanted plenty of time to explore AT&T Park. We spent about an hour walking around ballpark, which is right on the water actually. In fact, several home runs have been hit into the water (named McCovey Cove) behind right field. It was a good game to go to since the Giants' best starting pitcher was going to pitch. They beat the Rockies 4-1 with back to back home runs in one inning. I'm glad there were a few home runs so I could hear the fog horn again, which sounded every time the Giants hit a home run. I remember hearing it when I went to Giants games the last two times I was in San Francisco. Anyway, I'm glad we went to a game, here are some pictures we took:
We moved to Seattle in February 2008 and shared blog posts and photos during our first few years in Seattle.

I've really come to enjoy going to baseball games in other cities. I'm not a baseball fan, but I like experiencing other ballparks and look forward to doing it on future trips.
