Here we are after the game. From left to right: James, David, me, Paul. It was fan appreciation day at AT&T Park, which is why there is a Toyota truck parked at second base.
After the game it was announced that all fans were allowed to run the bases. This is the first time I had ever heard of adults being allowed to participate. Normally, it is only children that is allowed to have the joy of pretending to be a major leaguer.
James went ahead of me to set up shop with the camera. The ushers standing by all the bases kept repeating, "No sliding!" My goal was simple: ignore the ushers and do something every baseball fan dreams of, sliding into home plate. As I rounded third, an opening was created. This was my chance. I could slide into home and not disrupt the other fans.
Team Nixon 1. Giants 0.

Nice.....that is cool. You forgot to mention how it felt, anything like it might feel to hit nothing but net in Phoenix????
that's great stuff. i would love to run the bases @ a major league park.
and thanks for clarifying the truck on the field.
Not sure if it would feel the same as hitting nothing but net. I guess I will have to add "Sinking a shot at a rival's arena" to my list of things to do before I die.
That's too funny Jimmie.
Aaaaaw, now they have to clean the Jimmie off the infield. Sheesh, way to go man.
