The San Francisco Giants opened their 2001 season Monday at Pacific Bell Park with a game against the San Diego Padres. Some fans got up really early to get in line for tickets. Jenny Tello and her brothers just had to be inside Pac Bell Park for opening day. They made posters during their 12-hour streetside sleepover.
Spring fever is contagious.
While fans waited outside, groundskeepers made sure they had their bases covered and home plate ready for the Giants to run up the score. Fans agreed it was worth it just to get inside. Ted Sarhoff has seen every opening day since the Giants moved west from New York. I enjoy it. I just like baseball.
