Starts with the unfurling of the giant flag, flyover, fireboat fountains spouting and fireworks. Among the luminaries throwing out the ceremonial ball: Barry Bonds. He ran out onto the field in a cheerful outburst of enthusiasm never seem as a player. The fans gave him a wildly enthusiastic welcome.
Cain came up big with great pitching against a team he has lost to many times. And Ross continues to be the catalyst for the Giants. Renteria and Rowand also contributed, in place of Torres and Fontenot.
Crowds are rowdy and joyous. Unlike the regular season we are surrounded by avid fans who must have bought their stubhub tix at a premium.
