There are a lot of people who hate baseball out there. To them, it’s too slow, too white, too slow, too boring, or too slow. It doesn’t have the speed of basketball, the impact of football, or the shock value of UFC.

I don’t think there are many things that I would rather do on a summer day than spend it at the ballpark, specifically AT&T Park. The nuances of the game aren’t easily understood, but once learned, make the sport fascinating. Every pitch, defensive shift and sacrifice fly is calculated and important in a victory. On top of the game, the ballpark experience in itself is a treat for the senses, a symphony of smells, sounds, and colors unlike anything else.
