Fan Fest 2010

Meant to get these photos up sooner, but better late than never, right?  Fan Fest was a fun time, as always, and the weather even cooperated long enough for the sun to come out for a bit.  Now that pitchers and catchers have reported to spring training, I really can’t wait for the regular season to start.  Is it April yet?

More photos (and one video) are also posted over at Flickr.

Good News

Super pleased to hear that Tim Lincecum and the Giants came to an agreement on a two-year deal today.  I’m also super happy that pitchers and catchers report next week.  Finally!

Look for a post full of Fan Fest photos very soon.

In the meantime, Happy Tim Lincecum Day!

‘Twas the Night Before

Tomorrow is the Giants’ annual Fanfest event at AT&T Park, also known as the day I go back to the ballpark for the first time since October and see all of the players and eat my first hot dog of the year and start to feel really, really excited about the upcoming season.  I think this will be the fifth Fanfest I’ve attended, and even though they seem to get more and more crowded every year, I still enjoy the event.  There’s just something really nice about being back at the ballpark again, even if the field is all ripped up and covered with mud from the motocross event last weekend.  It’s a nice way to kick off the season, or I suppose kick off the anticipation for the new season.

I dug up some of the photos I took at last year’s Fanfest, where despite a questionable forecast, we were blessed with a break in the clouds and blue skies.  The forecast for tomorrow includes periods of rain.  I’m hoping we get lucky again.  Rain or shine, I’m looking forward to being at the ballpark again.  Chances are very, very good that no matter what the weather is like, I’ll have some photos to share when I get back.

(And okay, this post also gave me an excuse to try out my new blog’s lightbox and gallery features. I love new toys.)

Bubble

I bought my tickets to the Giants’ home opener in April today.  I honestly can’t wait to get back to the ballpark and watch some baseball again.  I’m looking forward to the new season so much that I’m even toying with the idea of posting a new baseball photo here every day until the season starts.  It would be one way to count down until April 5th while making use of my brand new blog.  A tempting idea.

In the meantime, here is Pablo Sandoval, who is awesome.
