Giants Spring Training Pics and Today in Baseball History!
I was talking to a friend of mine at work. He was telling me he was going to the Giants Spring Training. I told him to try to snap a few pics for me. He came back and told me he didn’t take many pics but sent me what he did have. He was telling me it was a blast. They sat 3 rows behind the visitors dugout. Next year I need to plan it way in advance, so I can be sure to go. I keep saying I’m going to go but something always comes up. No excuses next year.
Pablo Sandoval and Edgar Renteria at 3rd and short.

KoC, I have not made it yet to the Giant Spring Training, but maybe next year. I mentioned you in my last thread 🙂

KoC, Why do they call that area in the pic “Salty Pavilion”
Nice picks! The one with Pablo looks kind of weird though.

Sandoval has pop. Do you think he will make the team?
Sandoval is going to be our starting 3rd baseman. He’s going to hit 3rd or 5th for us. This guy can rake and I’m sure you will hear a lot more about him once the season starts.

I’m hoping to see some pics from my cousin soon. She’s going to the Brewers-Giants game on Sunday. I’m way super jealous, but it’s easy when you live 10 minutes from Scottsdale Stadium. (She says she’ll bring my spirit along with her!) And, naturally, we both hope your team goes down. Sorry.
Looks like your friend snagged some great pictures. No excuses for next year, three pictures definitely does not suffice.

Good thing they only bring out the green caps once a year!

Thanks for the comment!
That’s funny, guess where I was yesterday….
Scottsdale Stadium for the Cubs-Giants matchup.
The center field burm seats were terribly crowded,
so I left early, but Zito looked very good.
Check out my blog once I get a few more posts up:

Wow, on today;s date two future Hall of Famers got released.
You learn something new every day. that was a wild factoid for today.
I love the Tiki Bar in the outfield. I am getting the feeling it is a prerequisite in Spring Training ballparks now. Great pictures.
