24 Jam-Packed Hours


Yesterday was one of those times when you wish you could slow time down and play it at a slower speed.

I was in San Francisco for the day primarily to attend last night’s SF Giants game – which they won with a shutout against the Houston Astros – with three of the Baggars, or, roommates from college days so long ago.

Top photo shows the four of us in front of the Willie Mays statue in Mays Plaza at the main entrance to AT&T Park. Left to right are yours truly, Dwight Klassen, Ralph Higgins and Joe Medal. You’re looking at a combined 200 years of friendship.

The game was an outstanding game, as baseball games go – great pitching with just enough timely hits hits to insure the victory.



Above is what it looked like from our seats at the Park shortly after the game began. It was a picture-perfect night. The fog even rolled in over the top of the stands right on cue about 9 pm. Click on the photos, BTW, if you want a larger image. More tomorrow on some of the other events of the day.
