Go Giants!

I am not a huge baseball fan, but have had fun watching the Giants go through the playoffs and eventually get into the World Series.
The most fun of this has been sharing the experience with my octogenarian Mom. Not only is she a big baseball fan - she's a HUGE Giants fan. She knows the batting order, who's batting well and who's not, etc.
When she was growing up in Minneapolis, the NY Giants had a farm team in her home town. She and her dad used to go to the games together. I remember my Grandpa listened to every single game on the radio when I was a kid, so he was a big Giants fan, also.
Yesterday I told Pat we should make dinner over at Mom's. I had a feeling this could be the big night and it was. It was such a blast watching her beloved team win with her - yelling, clapping and screaming all together.
