Five of us went to see the Giants beat the St Louis Cardinals last night. Loads of fun, but very chilly. We sat in the arcade, which means the stands right behind the outfield. Once, someone hit a ball that looked like it might come right at me, and I screamed. But when Barry Bonds hit his required homerun, it hit the back wall to our right. The fun parts:

-whenever someone hits a homerun, water sprays the crowd
-"Go home, Jerome!" the rookie pitcher Jerome got his first hit and came home, too!
-the angry fan behind us who yelled "get outta my town!"
-the Dodger fans - boys from LA - next to us who bravely booed Barry Bonds

Not fun: getting there and home again. Didn't we vote against Pac Bell Park because of traffic concerns? We should have taken the ferry.
