I'm posting this at around 2 in the morning, August 8, because something awesome happened around 4-5 hours ago, but 1st, I always explain it in long format, lol.

After Barry Bonds hit home-run #755 in San Diego on Saturday, my dad immediately got tickets to the next 2 home games for the Giants at their home stadium. But not just for him; he also got tickets for the rest of the family, and the best part was that my sister didn't even want to go! Hehehe...

So after getting a hotel room in one of the weirdest, confusing, great-looking, and fun places in the country of the USA (San Fransisco), we watch the 1st game with the Giants VS the Nationals from Washington D.C. The best part about that game was that since we didn't have to worry about driving 2 hours after the game, we got to stay and watch the full game and try to watch Barry Bonds hit his historic hit, but sadly, no #756 for us. The good things were, however,:

1. The Giants won 3-2

2. It was in extra innings, which meant more boredom to my sister (hehehe...)

3. It was my 1st full Major League Baseball game I got to see, plus extra innings

Things that stunk in that game:

1. It got pretty damn cold, even in my thick sweater

2. The hotel room was only had 2 beds, there was 5 of us (me, Dad, Step-Mom, bro, sis), so I got to sleep on the small couch

3. My family isn't very quiet in sleeping, and I take forever to sleep, and when they got to snoring, I couldn't sleep, ugh...

BEGINNING OF UNRELATED BASEBALL STUFF (you can just skip to the next big boldprint if you don't want to hear about some boring experiences)

Next morning, we had to find a way to kill about 7 hours before the next game. And in a city like San Fransisco, you'd think it would be easy. Hey, this isn't Disneyland we're talking about, only few areas were actually for families and were fun to ALL of us (thanks bro and sis for making all the original choices cut by 3 quarters!!). So we just waited until 12'o'clock noon to eat at Pier 39. The place was called "Hard Rock" and was a haven for classic rocker fans. The food was really good and I got to see some awesome antique guitars from real players.

After eating came the fun part; the tour of Pier 39's awesome shops and stores. My favorite by far was an Antiquette shop with tons of huge posters, classic albums, and figures signed by the famous person. I even saw a Family Guy platinum poster signed by the creator, Seth Macfarlane. And my sister's favorite was another large poster of the entire cast of Lost and with each of their signatures on there (yes, including the main guy Jack), and it costed about $1,500, same with everything else, so we got nothing from there.

END OF UNRELATED BASEBALL STUFF

Finally the game started. The game started off 0-0 after the 1st inning. Then begun the "Score 1, score the other" sequence, with the Nationals scoring 1 and then the Giants scoring 2. Barry hit a single and a double by the 4th inning and I thought I wouldn't see anything big happening. With the game now tied 4-4 (with the Nationals already having like2 home runs, lol), it was the Giants turn at the bottom of the 5th inning. Barry was 2nd up-to-bat so we all had our cameras and cell phones out. The 1st guy got out then came Mr. Bonds.

I started to think "Beggers can't be choosers", so I thought that I wouldn't see a historic event that night. But just in case, I had my short 17-second recording camera rolling on my cell phone whenever the guy started to pitch. I think the guy's name was Mike and then something with a "B" at the beginning. It turned into a full count and my hands started to shake bad while trying to record the footage. Flashes were everywhere from the 43,000 fans' cameras and it was hard trying to focus on anything outside the stadium. I clicked the recorder, the ball was thrown, the flashes went off crazy, and Barry Bonds hit the damn ball over the f***ing wall.

The crowd was INSANE!! Fireworks went off, the ground on which you stood on shook from excitement, and some people were throwing there stuff around (someone lost a mitt, lol). You can actuallybarely tell from watching TV (watching ESPNews right now)that it was that exciting, but it was so frikin' loud there and so hyper, and so was I. My sister got a picture on her cell phone right after he hit it (looked real good), my dad thinks he got the hit, and I got the footage baby!! It was on cell phone so it's probably awful, but I don't know how to upload anything from my phone to the computer, so I'll ask my sister tomorrow after registering for our high school and try to get my 1st video on YouTube, lol.

After he hit the home run...well...about 10 minutes after he did and the crowd finally settling down, the announcer asked Barry to turn his attention to the big screen. And showing himself was the King of Home Runs, Hank Aaron. He said that he's prowd of him, passes on his title to him, and wished his family and him good wishes. And then Barry thanked all the fans and his dad in Heaven for supporting him until the end. And that was his last time out there.

We didn't stay for the full game though. We saw the historic event, and then left around the 7th inning. Although the Giants ended up losing 8-6, it was still an awesome time that I saw that live.

Now all of you still reading this think I'm lying and have no proof, but like I said, after I ask my sister how (or my mom) to load the pics and vids, I'll show you guys, but for now, see-ya-lata!

OTHER FUN THINGS THOSE 2 DAYS:

1. For those many Yankee fans out there, my dad is a Yankees fan and wore a shirt that said "Got Rings?" on it with the logo. Then on the back it compared the Yankees's championship rings to the Red Sox's rings and had a real funny saying also. If I remember, it said something like "Can you count 26 rings? Oh, and it doesn't take us 86 years to get another". I thought it was funny, but had to keep my mouth shut for my step-mom was a Red Sox fan (don't ask, "Why is there a couple when 1 likes the Yankees and the other Red Sox?!", because I don't know!)

2. When we were driving around and making fun of my sister complaining a lot (everyone was, and she was laughing too), my dad took a wrong turn and got us heading to the Golden Gate Bridge. Thankfully, there was an exit before the bridge, lol, and I'm uncomfotable on bridges, especially the big and long ones.

3. I thought I saw the girl who played on Drake and Josh as there little sister (Miranda?), but then realized she surely doesn't live in SF, but it might've been possible it was her! She really looked like her, but she had her eyes closed for some reason so I couldn't really tell.

Thanks for reading for what I think is my longest blog ever!
