Buy Me some Peanuts and Garlic Fries

I'm a football fan, mainly because I am an adreneline junkie.     I have to admit though, that the San Francisco Giants have captured my attention.    I know, I know, I can hear all of you accusing me of being a "bandwagon fan".  Not guilty.  I grew up in the Bay Area and my Dad has ALWAYS been a Giants fan.  Summer wasn't summer unless the game was on the radio and Lon Simmon's voice was echoing through the house.  See.....I know who Lon Simmons is, so I am legit.   Let's face it, up until last year until around August, there wasn't much to be excited about.  Not since the summer of Barry Bonds and the home run record race.  Prior to that was the opening of the new ballpark in China Basin and the heartbreaking World Series loss in Game 7 in Anaheim.   But honestly, most of the time I think baseball is kind of a yawn - time to catch up on some well needed sleep.   I woke up as did most folks in the Bay Area, simply because we all love an underdog.  It was a bit like the Bad News Bears.  Okay, now I am dating myself....but seriously, queue it up on Netflix and tell me I'm wrong.  What you had was a group full of misfits who came together against all odds and prove all of the naysayers wrong.  Guys that couldn't get a job with any other team, babyfaced no names, a "freak", and a guy who sports an Abe Lincoln beard as their closer.    AT&T Park is a fantastic place where great things happen.  They have garlic fries, awesome sightlines and a fantasic view of the San Francisco Bay.  They also have something that all other Major League Baseball cities don't have.....The 2010 World Champion San Francisco Giants!
