The article reflects on the authorâs nostalgia surrounding the upcoming Bay Bridge Series between the San Francisco Giants and Oakland Athletics. Highlighting personal stories intertwined with the rivalry, the author recalls growing up in a family that supported both teams, attending various games filled with spirited interactions. One memorable game mentioned took place on September 26, 2015, featuring Tim Hudson for the Giants and Barry Zito for the A's, where Jarrett Parker hit a record-breaking three home runs, showcasing the emotional and playful essence of baseball memories.
I grew up in a baseball family with a fairly even mix of Giants, A's and Los Angeles Dodgers fans, so we attended many family games when the Giants played the A's at the Coliseum.
Most of my favorite memories of these games were more about the vibes than what happened on the field.
It was September 26th, 2015. I wasn't at the game, my mom had just opened a store and my brother and I were helping out and listening to the game.
Jarrett Parker hit three home runs! My brother and I were incapacitated with laughter well before he hit his third, a grand slam.
