Well, not us exactly, but Gareth and I were lucky enough to be present at the home field last night when Barry Bonds broke Hank Aaron's 755 home run record. The anticipation and the energy of the crowd every time BB went up to bat was almost as fun to be a part of as the second everyone realized the crowning moment was sailing through the air. Whether you love or hate BB, it was impossible not to cheer him on and not to be happy for him.
When I got the tickets six months ago my game choice was driven by the fact that the Giants were playing the Nationals. Given I'm a Bay Area resident with a DC/VA heart, I wanted to see my old home town's newest team play. As luck would have it Barry broke the record and the Nationals won the game. Turned out to be a great choice!
This just in: G and JB are celebrating the beginning of JB's 38th year at the ballpark with another BB home run! Josh, best wishes for a year filled with lots of love (TR has that covered), success (in the new job), and fun (that's what friends are for)!! Happy Birthday!!!
