The Adventurers fell into two great seats for the Giants versus Padres game tonight, so altered their dinner plans and instead made a trip up to the yard.
The game mattered little; the Giants are in the postseason and will play a wild card game on Wednesday. But what made it special was the handing out of the annual Willie Mac Award, given to a player annually for being the team’s most inspirational player. It was won by pitcher Madison Bumgarner, who was greeted on field by some of the past winners, including L favorites like Bob Brenly and Chris Speier and Robby Thompson. Fun to see them all on the field again,
And it was a thankful that the game didn’t matter. It was a real snooze affair with the Padres coming out on top, 4-1….
