#28 - Sunday July, 29th 2018 - Molly, Vinny, and I darkened the door of AT&T Park. Long anticipated coming to this one. I've often heard that it will 'be your favorite'. It certainly did not disappoint. Positioned right on the bay, the views are probably the best baseball. I can't think of another park that I could really say is definitively 'better' than (PNC, PETCO...Maybe...). Anyway. Day game vs. Brewers. I remember the brewers (Oh and it was Hello Kitty Day) were going for the sweep, but the Giants won 8-5. We only made until about bottom of the 5th as nap time was looming. Could talk a lot about the Cove. All the boats that sit out there looked to be a pretty cool scene. I think the sign read 78, meaning the number HR's hit into the Bay. Very cool stadium feature. Also Triples Alley is a very unique feature/thing. Kinda like Tal's Hill was in Houston. I think it might be the deepest fence in baseball now. I also had no idea the Coke bottle in left was a slide for kids. Overall this was a great park. The negatives were that the concourses we're extremely tight, not surprising given how popular the Giants currently are (maybe always are) and I would call it a very complex stadium. We went in the outfield gate and could find our seats, when we asked someone they told us to take one elevator up 2 levels, walk across the concourse to another elevator and take that up another floor to some stairs and blah blah blah. That was kinda nuts, but big whoop. Great park. Not sure it's my favorite, but one of the crown jewels in the league for sure.
