Day 5 - Saturday, July 17

San Francisco Giants vs. NY Mets - Game time 6:05 WST.

We headed down to AT&T Park around noon to pick up our tickets. Today was Tim Lincecum bobble head give-away day, so it was a sold out game, and thousands of people came to the park really early to make sure they got a bobble head. We heard the bobble heads are selling for $55 on E-Bay! We bought Standing Room Only tickets for $27 apiece (very pricey considering we didn't actually get a seat). We were kind of unsure how the Standing Room situation would work out, but we kept our fingers crossed....

Leah had a great time on the walk down the hill:



The area around the ballpark is really nice, it's right next to the waterfront, and there are quite a few bars and restaurants and other touristy things to do before the game:








Leah and daddy enjoyed a few drinks at the bar before the game:



This ballpark is in a fantastic location - it overlooks San Francisco bay and has some beautiful views. All these pictures were taken from inside the park:











We watched the game from center field - the Standing Room tickets were a great choice! Leah enjoyed climbing around in the cable car and ringing the bell throughout the game:







The game was really exciting. San Fran's up-in-comer, Buster Posey, had two big hits, including a solo HR. Ike Davis, from the Mets, hit two HRs, including one into McCovey Cove. The Giants won the game 8-4. Matt Cain got the win:
