Anyway, I chose the highlight of my week for my first post. On Friday class was over at 11am so we had most of the day to wonder before catching a baseball game. We all knew Barry Bonds was getting close to breaking Hank Aaron's record well before I left for San Francisco so I hopped online to see if Bonds was going to be in town and sure enough they were scheduled to play the Pirates this week. I got even more lucky when I was able to get tickets for the game Friday night....I couldn't control my excitement.
Before I arrived in San Francisco, Bonds had already tied the record and I was holding my breath each night with the hopes that he would break the record on Friday, while I was at the park. Bonds did break the record over the week, but not on Friday. Yes, I was very bummed that I didn't witness it, but it was still exciting to be town with this kind of history. Bonds has continued to hit home runs and while Sam and I weren't lucky enough to see Bonds hit #756, we did witness home run #758! Below are some pictures of AT&T Park and of course a few distant pictures of Bonds...the new home run king.
By the way...I pretty much had to drag Sam to the game since she hates baseball, but in the end she said she had a great time. We both enjoyed the stadium, even though we froze our ass off the entire time.
Here are some pictures of AT&T Park.
Here's a shot of Barry Bonds warming up in the outfield and one of him running the bases. 
Here's Bonds running the bases after hitting #758.
AT&T Park officials changed the field home run ticker immediately, so here's a shot of the current count.
And finally, I can't close out this post without showing everyone our "view" from our seats....this picture says enough.
