McCovey Cove

Is/Was anybody there for All-Star week?
with 300 yaks, it must have been standing room only!!

Be aware if you go that you need a special permit to get into the cove.

I don't think they are available anymore........

Yup, I heard from Chuck that you had to pre register your kayak and get a permit from the coast guard to paddle out to the cove........

Went yesterday during batting practice and the Home Run derby.  I can only describe it as INSANITY although somebody in todays Merc called it "a floating frat party" which was a very accurate description.  Have a few pics that I need to transfer to the computer at which time I will post.

  I just google earth'd candlestick, where exactly do the homerun balls land in the water?  The water is not close the park at all.  I know the balls can and do get hit into the water, but geeze to hit either area where the water is, thats a lot of force!

Try Google Earthing (?) AT&T Park. The water's closer to it. 

Only fall in Right Field and seemed like the permits were less handed out on the AllStar Day then the Home Run Derby.  NL loses again...only 10 times in a row.  Wait until Bonds ties or breaks it.  Only, I don't think it will be a water shot.  Probably go to left or center .

 Duh...  Guess that shows I'm not a huge baseball fan.  Last game I went to was in candlestik
