I'm not sure if it's a trend, but I went to my second baseball game in a decade. Last year, Tim Smith invited me to see the Giants take on the Cincinnati Reds, and yesterday evening I returned the favor to watch the Chicago Cubs beat the Giants. The seats were rather good: on the field club level, between home and third. Tickets were courtesy of Steve Sidener (he's the non-Nobel-Laureate-in-economics on the left), an old friend from Altimira Middle School in Sonoma Valley. He's now a lawyer, but we won't hold that against him.
