Palm trees frame a harbor scene with many boats, a pier, and a large docked ship under a cloudy sky.

Down in San Francisco for the World Series. Giants and Rangers, and the whole neighborhood around the ballpark knew it.

Before the game we walked the waterfront by South Beach — palm trees along the marina, sailboats packed into the harbor, the Bay Bridge sitting behind everything. Gray sky over the bay, a big Navy ship out past the pier. A BART car sat at the platform on the way in, doors closed, that old logo on the side.

Inside, the scoreboard ran Posey's line — .305, 18 home runs — with the whole lineup stacked next to it: Torres, Huff, Uribe, Renteria. Coors Light and Safeway signs over the top like always.

Afterward the marina was lit up, searchlights sweeping over the masts, strings of lights on the bridge behind the boats. The AT&T Park sign glowing over the trees on the way out.
