This trip to the ball park was no different. Boyfriend always insists on parking really far away by Mission Bay, where they are putting the new hospital, and walking to the ballpark. While I am occasionally annoyed, I generally like seeing all of the shenanigans 
that are going on outside the park. I like the people selling hats, and scalping tickets, and that guy who holds the sign that says “I’m too ugly to get laid. Give me money!”
This Sunday we bought tickets on our way in from one of these uncouth salesmen on the street and saved some money. We barely got ticket though because the scalpers were trying to sell them for $40 each which is outrageous seeing as we just wanted to sit in the bleachers. Luckily Boyfriend is pretty good at street bargaining so we got in for $20 each which is $5 less than if we had planned ahead and bought our tickets online or something. Lovely!
I love when jumbo-tron has the kiss-o-meter and the Carleton dance-off. Unfortunately they did not have a lot of activities on the jumbo-tron at this game. The lack of Jumbo-tron was not missed however because apparently there are a lot of Phillies fans in San Francisco. I would say that where we were sitting (back by the giant mitt) there was almost a 50/50 mix of Giants and Phillies fans. It lead to lots of good heckling, and fortunately no fights.
We won, even though I’m pretty sure if I was getting paid big bucks to play baseball for my job I would not drop easy catches so frequently (eh hem second base-man on the Giants, I think his name is Sanchez and he’s new).
Boyfriend got sunburned.
