Barry Bonds in left field

Barry catches line driveBarry Bonds casts a long shadow as he takes his position in left field at the start of last night’s Giants-Brewers game at AT&T Park. A few moments later, Barry fielded a line drive, contributing to a scoreless top of the first for the Giants, who went on to win 6-4.

Mr. Bonds knocked in 2 of those runs with base hits, and, of course, we, like everybody else in the park, were on the edge of our seats every time Barry was at bat, hoping to see his latest record-extending home run. Barry’s swing is just magic at the moment: any given pitch could be out of the park, it would seem.

This was the first time I’ve sat on the Club Level on the left-field side (though I think Linda has sat there before): as it happened, it was a good place to be, as we bumped into Kruk, Kuip and Vida Blue as we made our way to our seats, as mentioned in the post below. It was a really fun night… I keep thinking we should lease or buy a condo near the park and spend our summers where Linda can walk to the game…

    Bonds is the living, breathing paradigm of steroid abuse. News alert: His shoe & hat sizes have practically doubled since he started “unknowingly” abusing HGH. Pretty soon he won’t be able to fit inside the dugout!

    But you should definitely go ahead & get the condo; Darfur can wait.

    ouch… for what it’s worth we try to send at least 5% of our income each year to causes, including a number of Episcopal funds that work to reduce hunger, disease and strife in Africa….
