My class treated me again and again for the past five days in what turned out to be a sensational Teacher Appreciation Week! One of my gifts included a $50 gift card to the Oakland A's so I put it to good use last night as our cross-bay rivals, the Giants, came to town. My seat, 10 rows behind the A's dugout, cost me all of $5. Yahoo!
The green and gold put the Giants' top-paid star, (and former A) Barry Zito to work! We pounded him for the 6-1 lead and our pitcher, Trevor Cahill, went 6.2 innings of scoreless ball. He was dealing last night!
Rajai Davis got a nice 2-run double and stole third. A's newcomer, Coco Crisp, made his debut and also hit a double, (nearly a home run) off the top of the left-field wall.
My cheesesteak and fries were delicious! The ballgame was a blast. And it was sweet of my wife to give me a green light to enjoy a night out at the park! Let's go A's!
