PrintI didn't see a fanpost or fanshot on this, and since it falls on the MCC Meetup Night, I figured it wouldn't hurt to post about this.
I got an email from the SFGiants.com website about the tribute for Sue Burns:
On Monday, July 27 prior to the 7:15 game versus the Pirates, the Giants will pay tribute to Giants Senior General Partner Sue Burns, who passed away earlier this week.
Sue and her late husband, Harmon, were instrumental in preventing the Giants from moving to Florida in 1992 by joining a group of local investors to purchase and keep the team in San Francisco. She also played a key role in the building of AT&T Park, ensuring that the Giants would remain in San Francisco for generations to come. Sue could always be found in her front row seat next to the Giants Dugout dressed in her signature orange and cheering for her beloved orange and black.
In the past decade, she attended at least 1,000 Giants games. Fans attending Monday night's game are encouraged to wear orange in honor of Sue.
I'll be there in orange.

I rarely wear my orange shirt, but I’m definitely wearing it that night.

I shall wear orange
And snack on Cheetos, cheddar sticks, goldfish crackers, oranges, cantaloupe, and any other orange food I can think of.
Anyway, this tribute means we should probably leave Zeke’s by 6:30, just so we can all get to our various seats.
Forsan et haec olim meminisse iuvabit... Maybe.
Yes
I have a whole orange-themed menu planned. I can call it the Sue Burns Combo:
Prawns with orange-anise tapenade
Fruited Ptitim (Israeli couscous) served in a hollowed out orange bell pepper
spicy satsuma beef
Brandy and orange mashed sweet potatoes
Blood Orange martinis

If you don’t have any orange, stop by a 2nd hand store and pick up an orange sweatshirt or something?
My orange scarf came from the men’s department at Old Navy. So it’s masucline. And warm. You don’t need to be afraid of it.

wearing orange isn't about looking good, or even liking it
its a tribute to Sue, so suck it up and get your orange on
