Tonight we were in Oakland for the cross-bay rival interleague play between San Francisco (yes, our third day to watch them) and the Oakland Athletics. It is the same place that the Oakland Raiders football team plays in. The ballpark was definitely more crude than Safeco or SBC Park earlier this week. The walkways were cramped and the concession lines plugged up the flow of the crowd. It was an older stadium, so that gave it a little bit of character.
One cool thing was that there was a booth behind the outfield bleachers sponsored by some Hawaiian drink company that had a small surf board ride. If you could stay on the mechanized surf board for 1 minute, then you got a free t-shirt. It is a cool t-shirt, so I tried it out. Well, I have a new t-shirt! Yes!
Since the game started at 7:05pm, we spent the day sight-seeing in San Francisco. We went to Fisherman's Wharf again and took a boat ride under the Golden Gate Bridge and around Alcatraz. That was fun - it was a gorgeous day for a boat ride that's for sure. We also road the classic streetcars throughout San Fran hanging off the side and everything.
Tomorrow we drive a long way to San Diego, so see you then!
