Night game

Like many Americans, I feel very nostalgic about baseball. Summer picnics in my childhood always included my grandfather and his brothers gathered around the radio listening to the Pittsburgh Pirate games. I learned one of my first Spanish words, arriba (up), because that is what the crowd would yell when Roberto Clemente came to bat.

My husband got a couple of tickets from his company for last night's Giants game in SBC park. They were in a very comfortable corporate suite in this beautiful, well designed ball park. By coincidence, the visiting team was the Pittsburgh Pirates who won the game, 4-2.
