I am not a fan or anything, other than I like cars and women. I don’t think I can watch a sport on the teli that showed the cars always going round and round, only making lefts. I can watch all the crashes on ESPN’s Spotscenter later on that night. But if I get FREE tickets, I’m there baby!!! I was disappointed there were not as many mullets as there was. However, amazed on the little city that sprouted up around this multi-day event and the ingenious methods of people carrying their vast quantities of personal beer. People make hitches and trailers to their ATV’s to carry their beer with them. Mullets or not, near a city like San Francisco or not, still rednecks.

San Francisco's sports are baseball and football. The teams the city plays home to are two world class teams: the Giants for baseball, and 49ers for football. The 49ers, named after the people who flocked to the city in the Gold Rush, have won more championships in professional American football than any other team except for the Dallas Cowboys, who they are tied with. The team is simply legendary for football fans. Going to a Niners game is like a rite of passage for many Bay Area sports fans. The crowds that flock to their playing field at 3Com (but everyone still calls it Candlestick) are fanatical and great to watch. It's especially fun to watch the rare interleague game when they play their arch-rivals and across-the-Bay nemisis, the Oakland Raiders. For baseball, the Giants represent the city. Although not blessed with the glorious past as the Niners, the Giants reside in one of the ballgame's most scenic and newest stadiums, Pacific Bell (or Pac-Bell to the locals), which sits just south of downtown next to a small harbor. The Giants are also the home team to Barry Bonds, the player who presently has the most single home runs in an entire season. The Giants arch-rivals come again from across the Bay, the Oakland A's. By coincidence, the last time these two Bay Area teams played in the World Series in 1989, a 7.1 earthquake occured. Giants games, however are fun to go to and very entertaining. Baseball season is usually from Spring to early Fall, while football lasts from late summer to mid Winter. Both parks can be reached by mass trans, and tickets can be hard to find at times.
Around San Francisco, you'll find an abundance of Giants hats and 49er jersies in a variety of sports stores. The Raiders and A's are also well represented.
