On Friday, Mr. B took me and some friends to the Giant's Home Opener.
While driving over there (I think we were on the Bay Bridge), I mentioned how I just love the "fly over".
Every year the Blue Angels do a low fly over just before the game begins. It is so exciting, loud, thrilling and then they disappear within nano-seconds. It's as close as I will ever get to going on a roller coaster. But this year, Mr. B informed me that due to military cuts, NO fly overs anywhere.
Well....this was our fly over this year.....
I felt like Meg Ryan in the movie "French Kiss" when her stolen purse-backpack is found empty and she just keeps stomping her foot and saying "shoot, shoot, shoot".
So I was a little disappointed.
But the weather was great, we enjoyed our wonderful friends and we met half of our home town there!
The Jersey Boys sang the National Anthem.
Grace Slick & some of Jefferson Starship sang "God Bless America" and "Take Me Out to the Ball Game".
(Just exactly when did they get so old????)
Zitto was pitching but I was so busy, I forgot to take a photo of him.
Posey was catching and I took a lot of photo's of him.
But before the game, the 2010 and 2012 trophies were placed on the field and the Giants ran thru them to a round of applause!!!
The players passed the flag from player to player and then they raised the flag.
I cried.
Not sure why but a lot has happened this year......
I am a sentimental sucker for tradition.
McCovey cove was filled with all kinds of party boats.
Even the more colorful fans!
Fans were dressed to kick some Saint Louis behind.
And my bud "Romo" was there to save us in the last minutes......
And guess what?
We won. 1 - 0
Posey - Romo - Crawford - High Fiving after the game...
We hit the 21st Amendment which was packed so we walked on down to the Embarcadero to Red's Java House & the Hi Dive.
