BYE BYE BARRY...


Got to witness a part of baseball history, thanks to my buddy Jon Boy...
Last home game for the Giants for the season and Barry Bonds last game as a Giant.
Couple interesting things during the game...first of all, about the sixth inning or so, a blonde runs out of the left field bleachers to give Barry a hug, but the security and police get to her before she could give him a hug. Of course, she was escorted off and did not get to hug Barry, all he could do is wave good-bye...
Then the crowd in the bleachers started to get rowdy for some reason, since we were sitting in the upper deck behind home plate, I wasn't sure what was going on, I said to Jon-Boy and the people around, "Probably a rowdy, DODGER fan!!!" haha!!!
Finally, they had this big number 25 and "Bonds" on the left field and every time the Padre player would step on the number or the letters, they would start heckling him from the bleachers in left. It was funny to watch.
What a season for watching baseball, I saw some awesome games, and ALL-STAR game, and the final game at home for the season and Barry Bonds last game...I thinking I need to go to a Opening Day game soon...
Oh one last note, about baseball, at the All Star game, I tried to get Dusty Bakers autograph in the dugout after the game. He was signing for the fans. I said, "Uncle Dusty, sign my bat (I had a personalized bat I purchased at the game). He looked at me and looked at the bat and said, "I don't sign bats."
I said, "It's my birthday bat, it's got my name on it."
He looked at the bat, looked at me and said, "I don't sign bats."
Oh well...
