Two Matches See Win and One Sees History
Three matches of Big Brothers Big Sisters of the Bay Area joined umpires Marvin Hudson and Mark Wegner for games between the Colorado Rockies and the home town San Francisco Giants. Barry Bonds entered the weekend tied with Babe Ruth on the all-time home run list at 715.
On Saturday, May 27th, mentor Ellie Sadler and little sister Miriam joined mentor Patrick Earley and Treyon as Marvin's guests. Pedro Feliz belted a two-run triple in the fourth inning and the Giants beat the Rockies 4-1. Bonds went hitless but scored a run in the game. So our first two matches of the weekend got to see a Giants win.
On Sunday the 28th, Peter Rabover joined Liam (pictured with Mark at left) to see a bit of history as Barry Bonds passed Babe Ruth to claim sole possession of second place on the all-time home run list. Peter and Liam were guests of Mark Wegner for the history making game. The big home run was not enough for the Giants however as the Rockies won the game 6-3. Still, it's not every day that you witness baseball history.
