And it just wasn't seeing Barry Bonds, Moises Alou, Omar Vizquel, and Jeff Fassero all playing.
The Giants opening day featured survivors of the 1906 earthquake throwing out cermonial first pitches. Nine different people were honored, ranging in age from 99 to 104.
But for me the creepy part was the name of the color guard:
The Presidio of Monterey Center for Information Dominance Detachment Color Guard Unit. I would link to it, but it's a restricted military website. It's one of the places where the Navy does its cryptography work.
And I thought the public library was the real center for information dominance!
So who gets the job as a color guard at a cryptography unit? You join the Navy and you expect to see the world and instead you're in Monterey guarding computer geeks and your main job is to stand up straight.
They don't just guard computer geeks. They also guard lots of linguists and translators. As someone who lives nearby and qualifies for all three of those categories, I sometimes wonder how I didn't end up with a job in Monterey.

I believe the Dodgers Medical Staff is the hands-down winner there.
