Lucky guess

About 3 weeks ago, I bought a ticket to the Giants-Padres game in San Diego, just in case Barry Bonds tied or broke the all-time home run record that night.

Well, he did, and I was lucky enough to be there.

I bought the ticket in the right-field bleachers because that's where most of Bonds' homers land. I figured if I was gonna go, I might as well put myself in the best position possible to catch the ball. But when I got to my seat, it was further up in the bleachers than I expected. No way could anyone hit a home run that far. Unless he was on steroids. Bonds hit it to left field anyway.

So now I revel in the fact that I saw history. At least until sometime next week when Bonds hits the record-breaking home run, and no one gives a crap about the tying one last night. I saved my ticket stub though and resisted the temptation of all the eBay freaks outside the gates after the game offering to buy them for $5 each.
