There are things worth waiting for...

As EVERYONE knows, the Giants just won the World Series. Way to go team, way to go!

Sports have not been a staple in my life, but for the past few years, I have fallen for the Giants. I have to say that it all started when I was invited to a Giants game with Jac. We had recently become friends and she said- "Hey, I've got some tickets to a Giants game, wanna go?" I of course said yes, because we were new friends- I couldn't let her down! The game was fantastic- not too cold, not too hot, and I even went out special to get a "baseball" shirt. Because I went to this game, it sparked a new interest. Here we are ENJOYING a fabulous Giants game :)

Let's just say that watching any sports game in person is the best. You don't get the same feel when you are just watching on the television. I think it has to do with the atmosphere, the fact that 98% of the other people are there rooting for the home team, and of course the great food!

Although, it's great to be at any sporting event, I have to say that the ultimate place to be- is CLOSE to the players. I have never sat this close to the field before. Jac was SO kind to invite me, and a couple of boys to this special game. Way cooler than anything. This game will definitely go down in history, not because of the game but because of the ride on the way to the game. One of the fine men we brought along with us needed to use the facilities and threatened to go while in traffic on the Bay Bridge- we of course did not want him to get arrested so we hurried off to a local high rise and sent him in. (I know this is TMI and probably not funny to you- but if you were there, you'd be laughing right about now).

Now, the other day I was at work and a patient called saying "I can't make it to my appointment tonight, I have playoff tickets." The best excuse EVER! That set a spark which led to a fire! With a long story short, I ended up buying 3 playoff tickets to Game 4 and took my future mother and father in-laws. It was FANTASTIC! What an emotion game and thanks to Uribe- we took that game!

Now the Giants are World Series winners and what a momentous occasion. People have been waiting for years and finally a dream come true. What a deserving team! Tears were shed and fireworks were lit. Way to go Giants- You made it!!!!
