| In the Muni train station |
Here's our stop |
 |
|
| Outside of the park. |
SBC Park (or AT&T or whatever) Entrance |
|
|
Willie McCovey plaque on outside wall |
Willie Mays plaque on outside wall (Hm - if you want to be a Giant - start going by 'Willie') |
 |
|
| Willie Mays Statue |
View of ballpark and Lefty O'Doul or 3rd St bridge that goes across McCovey Cove. |
 |
|
| Check out the pattern of the walkway. |
A little NY history.. |
 |
|
| Juan Marichal Statue |
View of ballpark and cove. |
 |
|
| Across the cove, now. Where are all the kayak ball hunters? |
Willie McCovey statue across the cove. |
 |
|
| Heading back across 3rd St. bridge. |
Vehicles are not permitted on the sidewalk so as to not run over pedestrians!!! |
 |
|
| My personal onion tour of ballparks. I think they are real, but I deduct points for the goofy dispenser. |
Fun slide or shameless advertising? You decide - love the glove, though. No one has hit one in to it, yet. |
 |
|
| Willie McCovey area from the park. |
Pitching matchup. Again - is it SBC or AT&T Park? |
 |
|
| When the Giants hit a home run - they ring the cable car bell... and that's it..... D- for home run celebration. |
Where am I? Looks like Cooperstown, NY is a scant 2,886 miles away. |
 |
|
| Continuing my walk around the park. |
Mom waving at me from the upper deck (where our seats were). |
 |
|
| Gotta love that Yogi! "I knew I was going to take the wrong train, so I left early." |
Giants super fans... even their soda is orange!! |
 |
|
| Who's winning THIS game? |
Coke bottle slide |
 |
|
| The mascot (Lou Seal - ugh...) is telling Pedro Feliz, "No fraternizing with the enemy!!!" |
Mets lineup |
 |
|
| Giants lineup. No Bonds. Must be the reason there was no one waiting in the cove! |
Play ball!! |
 |
|
| Bottom of the 9th, 1 on 1st - Giants down by 2 and Barry Bonds coming in to Pinch Hit against lefty Billy Wagner. |
Here comes the pitch..... |
 |
|
| .... and there it goes... Barry hit a home run to tie the game- check out the 3rd baseman (hands on knees, head bowed). |
Changing of the sign |
|
The Mets got 2 in the top of the 10th and won the game 9-7, but we had to leave after the 9th was over to get the rental car to go to Yosemite.... I HATE leaving games early!!! I missed some free baseball! BUT the good news was the Mets DID win. |
