Hello Spew Believers:
I have the opportunity to see the
New York Yankees face off against
the Giants live at Oracle Park in
San Francisco on Saturday March 28th, 2026.
Should I go and report back from the game ?
PLEASE let me know your thoughts as . . .
I'M CONFLICTED.
Thank you in advance to each
and every one of you.

By all means, go! We'll go vicariously through you! And have a hot dog on us. God be with you!
Bad as the Yankees are I would give an arm or a leg (or buy a beer which is probably more expensive) to see the Yankees in real life
Please go try to enjoy yourself and shout F U Hal FU Cashman Boone you are an idiot in a Scottish accent on my behalf.
GO! You can tell us how many home runs Judge would have hit if he had taken the money and gone to SF.
And be sure to bring your Unwavering sign!
GO! FOR GOD'S SAKE, MAN, GOOOOOOOO!
There are probably at least 25 things more interesting to do in San Francisco than watch this Yankee team play ball. Spend the money on a nice bowl of cioppino, hang out in Golden Gate Park and people-watch, and listen to the game on the "radio" if you must. OTOH, if you've never been to Oracle Park, then get a nosebleed seat, walk about, and enjoy the park. The game will be on the 1,242,687 screens they have all around the facility.
Have you confirmed that all 1,242,687 screens will be operational ?
Go. AA lives in Napa and can go to SF and do the other things anytime. The Yankees won't be back for a long while.
Hard for any of us to understand the conflict/dilemma which is holding you back. Unless it is the price of beers. Or unless climbing stairs is an issue ( more than about three is an issue for me).
Oh FFS you REALLY need our permission? LOL
I'll allow it.
HAHAHAHA
Yes, I'm going to go.
Just trying to have some fun here.
My favorite visit to "Oracle" was years ago, back when it was called SBC Park.
It was a day game on Saturday June 19th, 2004.
San Francisco Giants vs the Boston Red Sox.
I was invited by a work friend who once had season tickets right smack behind home plate, five rows back from the field.
Learning that Boston's starting pitcher that day was going to be Pedro Martinez, and I was going to be sitting right where Pedro could see me, I quickly made up an super-sized, full color Don Zimmer photo head mounted to foam core with a handle, similar to the Unwavering sign.
(The Pedro/Zimmer incident happened during the previous season's playoffs)
I wore my Yankees authentic road jersey to the game and held the Zimmer head in front of my own when Pedro took the mound.
He gave up four runs in the bottom of that first inning.
People around me in the stands loved it and I had to go down to the VIP concession area to pose with several folks that wanted a photograph with "Zimmer".
I felt no need to hold the head up again after that first inning because deep down I knew that Pedro saw it and it got inside his head.
I'm looking forward to seeing the Yankees play there next month.
GO YOU MUST!
Do not waste your time. Ed
Went to a game there in the aughts. It was August, & I needed a fleece to stay warm. Matt Cain had a no-hitter through, I don’t know, 6 innings? Or not; that’s what my perforated memory tells me. We sat in the upper deck right above home plate. Best seats in the house.
Ok, I looked it up. It was mid-September. Cain gave up a hit in the 4th, but only one other in 8 innings & the Giants beat the Rockies 5-0. Future Yankee stalwarts Troy Tulowitzki and Matt Holliday went a combined 1 -5.
AA - You were Pedro's Daddy that day. Good job.
I'm far too late to weigh in on this, but Oracle park is named after the software giant led by Larry Ellison and his hellspawn. I should say, more accurately, that he pays good money to have the Oracle name up there and have it mentioned every time anyone refers to the latest Candlestick Park.
For that reason, I'd never go there and encourage acceptance of anything to do with that asshole.
Workers of the world, unite.
Amen, JM
We could lobby to have the name changed to orifice park
