Oakland A’s

@PatNeshek Pat Neshek collects baseball cards and autographs. Too bad I no longer live close to the Oakland Coliseum or we’d have to hook up and make some trades.

Coco Crisp leads off as Barry Zito delivers the pitch at AT&T Park

Today’s photo has nothing to do with the subject line (other than the fact that the A’s were involved), but that is only because I didn’t have a camera when I went to the A’s game on October 15, 1981 and Krazy George started the first wave. I was only 12 years old at the time, but I remember that game well.

SF MOMA – The Nest – Louise Bourgeois

I have seen similar (spider sculpture) works of Louise Bourgeois in Denmark and Japan, but today’s comes from San Francisco’s Museum of Modern Art.

Alcatraz Baseball Field

Today is one of my favorite days of the year and not because it’s April Fool’s Day. Opening day* of MLB means the dullness of winter is over, even if there are still some cold days to come.

Today’s photo is from our trip to San Francisco last Thanksgiving. Long before AT&T Park, or even Candlestick Park, there was this baseball diamond with a spectacular view of The City (if you had a vantage point to see over the wall). They played softball, rather than baseball, here on The Rock, and they even kept stats.

* I know there was a game yesterday, but most teams open today.
