We are the champions

The Sacramento RiverCats won the 2007 Triple A championship. Thanks to Gishi, we have T-shirts to commemorate the occasion, and we wore them to our first game of the 2008 season Saturday evening . . .
Our team: Bill "Dinger Dog" Sbarra, Susan "Put Me In, Coach!" Gishi, Babz "Duck and Cover" Anderson, and Liese "BatBabe" Schadt.

It was a perfect night for baseball—mild, T-shirt weather, good crowd, fireworks at the end of the game, even the dancing usher is back, now appearing as the dancing vendor—rendering the Cats loss to the Las Vegas 51s less painful. Also pain-reducing was getting to see a couple of former Giants, left fielder Todd Linden (who hit a home run) and catcher Justin Knoedler (whom we met a few years ago when we were all in Scottsdale for Giants' Spring Training).

Baseball . . . it's what's for summer.
