To The Lady Behind Me

To the Woman and her kids who sat behind me at the Giants game last night:

  • Yes, Alou is doing well when he is batting .304
  • Yes, that does mean he gets a hit less than half the time
  • No, SBC does not own the ballpark, they only paid to have their name on it
  • No, AT&T does not own SBC, not yet (and it is SBC who is to acquire AT&T)
  • No, Cingular did not acquire AT&T, just part of it – AT&T wireless
  • So No, Cingular does not get a deal on advertising at SBC park
  • The Washington baseball team is not the Senators or the Wizards, it is the Nationals
  • The Angels are now the Los Angeles Angels not The Anaheim Angels (but a lot of people don’t know that yet)
  • And yes, they did intentionally walk the catcher to get to the pitcher

Does that answer all your questions?
