The final day of my holiday, and the final game was the final game of this 3 game series between the Rockies and Giants.
Today was Star Wars Day, and I've picked up by special gift item, which is a Madison Bumgarner (dressed as Han Solo) and Greedo model, from their confrontation in the bar in Star Wars. I've also got a new cap, with a rotating Millennium Falcon on the front. I had to go right to the top of the stadium and right to the left-field corner to pick it up, so I took a photo whilst I was there.For this game, I was in the front row of section 210, which is in the nicely shade during day games and, thankfully, with an unobstructed view.
Having shut the Rockies out for the first two games, San Francisco were looking for a rare sweep of a series. The Rockies managed to score some runs today - 3 of them in the 2nd inning, and sadly, that was enough, as the Giants managed a single run in a couple of innings, and although the winning runs made it onto base in the 9th inning, Hundley was ruled to have swung at a pitch and struck out to end the game.So, in the end, I saw the Giants play 8 times in total during this trip, and they won only 2 of them, but both of them were exciting shut-outs.
I said goodbye to my favourite usher, Angelique, whom I met first last year - and wished her a happy Christmas and to see her next year.
There was huge congestion on the metro on the way back, and it took 30-40 minutes to get back when it should take only 10, but I made it back in plenty of time to drop off all my new goodies and get ready to go out to dinner for the final time.
