The Central League Climax Series First Stage begins this weekend in Japan. The Swallows are my Central League team, but they had a typical Swallows season and ended up in the basement. My next favorite team in the CL is Hiroshima, in large part because of the wonderful Carp fans I sat next to last summer. They will be matched up with the Tigers in the series.
Fred Lewis, by the way, only lasted one season for the Carp. Although he played in 79 games for Hiroshima last year, he hit just .268 with only 4 home runs.
My A’s took 3 of 4 games from the Giants again this year with today’s 6-1 victory. Today’s photo is from last year’s Bay Bridge series. While I hate the Giants, always have and always will, I love San Francisco the city and its people, always have and always will. Where else will you spot old dudes in shirts like this?
Bay Bridge Series 2014 kicks off tonight. I flew down to last year’s series when the A’s took 3 out of 4 from the Giants. Hopefully my A’s do that (or better) this year too. I want to see lots of A’s running around the bases like today’s photo.
The first two games are in Oakland, with Wednesday and Thursday’s games in San Francisco. I should have made plans to take a trip. I will try to make it down I-5 for a game or two in August, September, and/or October.
