One fans reaction to 755
I was at the game tonight standing about 20 rows back of the first baseline. I'm a Padres employee and was in uniform for the game with another co-worker who is also a diehard Giants fan. Here are a few of my thoughts and how my night went.
-From the moment he struck the ball to the moment he was back in the dugout, I can't remember a single specific detail. It was so surreal. The only thing I can remember about the home run is how electric the park became off the crack of the bat. I remember thinking "there's no way I'm really seeing this." I know I ran up and down the aisle high fiving everyone I could, Hugging all of my co-workers and just feeling completely blessed.
-The crowds reaction was amazing! I've been hearing all week at work from Padres fans how they don't want to see him hit it here in San Diego. Yet when he hit it he recieved a very nice ovation. Throughout the rest of the game I had so many Padres fans come up to me and tell me how excited they were to be here when he hit 755. Many of them spoke of how they'll tell their kids and grandkids about this day. I can only think of one or two fans that were upset that it happened. (My dodger loving boss being one of them. "Suck on that, biatch!")
-I remember the rest of the night I spent all the time I could talking with other Giants fans and telling each other how lucky we are. I met Giants fans that traveled here from all over the country trying to make sure they caught 755 or 756.
It was the best sports moment I've ever been a part of. And I can't wait to tell everybody from home all about it. I'll never forget this night and I hope that all of you can experience something like this one day. It was a truly special evening for baseball.
