They were only 15 miles from the stadium, but the heavy traffic on game day made those 15 miles seem more like 60 miles. It took about an hour to get to the stadium. Then, when the game was over, it took half an hour just to get out of the parking lot. Then the drive home was another hour. In other words, the traveling took longer than the game itself. Honey, the Giants are in town, Ilene said. I want to see Barry Bonds hit a home run. Can we go to the game? We havent gone in such a long time. Youre right. It has been a while. OK, Ill go if you dont mind driving, said Ralph. Great! Lets get ready. If we get there early enough, I might get his autograph. Maybe hell hit a foul ball we can catch. Ilene was excited. We!? Ralph thought. An hour later they were in their car. They lived in Pasadena near an old church. They went south on Orange Grove and then south on the 110 freeway. The 110 is Californias original freeway, full of twists and turns. Accidents occur daily; California drivers think yellow lights and sharp curves mean the same thingspeed up! The traffic was lighter than they expected. They arrived at the stadium 40 minutes before game time. They paid the $8 parking fee, parked and locked the car, and walked to the main entrance. |
