Good morning, baseball fans!
San Francisco Giants baseball returns to Oracle Park today as the Giants begin their home opener series against the Seattle Mariners tonight.
This will be the first opportunity for fans to watch this red-hot (super small sample size) team on their home turf.
So I wanted to check in and see if anyone is heading to a game this series to celebrate. If so, what are you looking forward to most in your return to Oracle Park?
Sadly, I live too far away to get to more than a game or two per year. But my favorite thing to do when I return the park for the first time in a while is to get into town early and take my time walking from either the BART station or Ferry Building and appreciate the view. I usually make my back along the player entrance and over to the marina to enter at that gate.
This is my favorite place to enter the park for many reasons (short lines usually being at the top of that list). I also really like entering the field right there at the corner of the arcade level and the fan lot. The best food is there, there are a lot of things to do, and the view is simply spectacular. There’s nothing quite like getting that first cold beverage down near the kale garden, walking up the stairs, and being greeted by the sight of the field and the sounds of batting practice.
So what about you guys?
