SAN FRANCISO -- Ocean waves batter the banks just outside the confines of Candlestick Park in San Francisco as a strong, relentless breeze rolls in from center. Above, gulls soar beneath a sparkling, translucent sky. The seats are bright and orange inside this bowl stadium as fans wave gigantic San Francisco Giants flags. They are ready for opening day!
The atmosphere is exciting here in San Francisco despite the Giants poor prospects this season. Panning to the press box: an announcer pours a Coca-Cola onto a cup filled with ice. It sizzles. Announcers shake hands, steady their microphones.
Far away in Chicago, Cubs fans hope for a first game victory.
Sunny and windy here in San Fran as the Giants announcer proclaims the starting lineup:
Dan Gladden, CF
Bob Brenly, 1B
Chili Davis, RF
Jeff Leonard, LF
Steve Nicosia, C
Manny Trillo, 2B
Joel Youngblood, 3B
Johnnie LeMaster, SS
Bill Laskey, P
