My first Baseball game
Tonight I watched my first Baseball game (IRL, not on TV). Milwaukee Brewers were at San Francisco Giants. The ballpark in SF is pretty neat. I sat in one of the cheap high seats (called view reserve) but I enjoyed seeing the whole field and the bay and the screen. Pretty good for 26 bucks. Baseball as such is interesting, although it has everything a boring sport needs, it is quite entertaining. From a neutral point of view most of the time one guy trys to throw a ball to his mate, but one with a bat stands inbetween and tries to hit. Sometimes that guy hits and then one of the guys that just stand around jumps and catches it. Then teams swap positions.
Tonights game was not that action packed. I hoped for a Barry Bonds homerun, but was disappointed. He was swapped even end of 6th inning. Once the pitcher avoided him and pitched 4 balls, so he could walk to first base. For those not deep into baseball strategies. This is called a Intentional base on balls, which might be a valid strategy, but I really would have liked to see another Bonds homerun.
Giants won 6-2, which was basically decided after the first inning where they could run 4 players home.
What I really disliked was the 30$ ripp-off for parking on a improvised parking lot. I decided to turn around and drove 3 blocks where I parked for free in a street.
Have a good night or day
