…and human zoos? Well. Those are the worst.
That is an SF Chronicle photo. I told you it was a zoo. Literally. People behind bars.
I can’t personally testify though. I had an unfortunate scheduling conflict which brought me into San Francisco, just a few miles away from the park but occupied me for most of the hours of FanFest. I was planning to stop by and check it out for a few minutes, but as the day progressed I realized it wasn’t really a check-it-out situation. As I listened to the radio driving in, I kept hearing, “if you are not already in line, do not come! Repeat, do not come!” And reading on Facebook afterwards there were a lot of people who waited for hours and didn’t get in or got in and were disappointed. So I ate my avocado sandwich (avocado sandwiches are really good, for the record. Really good.) on a bench and watched the parades of people and orange and black. And later got to drive behind them on the freeway. I might as well have been at the event. I mean, I was there for the traffic.
Anyway. If any of you were there, do share, beautiful people. I am curious to hear some firsthand accounts.
Lastly, this post is for the guy with the Best Accent in Baseball. He also cracked my Best Dressed MLB’er list, in this outfit.
I am still in shock about Andy Pettitte announcing his retirement. He is one of the reasons I fell in love with the game of baseball and I will miss him- and yes, his accent- a lot. Tipping my white beanie to him.

That is a great photo of Pettitte. Handsome guy, and a winner. The story is, he is going to be the star witness in the Roger Clemens perjury trial and will be quite distracted by that.
Sorry you missed the fan fest. I’m sure the avocado sammie was a nice consolation.
