Home openers rock

Minor league baseball is really cool. In some ways, it's even better than the big leagues: cheap seats and food, wacky promotions between innings, and relaxing atmosphere. Even if you don't like baseball, you can have a blast at a minor league game, because most folks are there just for fun and don't get as caught up in whether the home team wins or not. If you live in Silicon Valley, check out the San Jose Giants.
