Because baseball, real baseball (kinda) starts tonight. The World Champion* San Francisco Giants will host their Bay Bridge rival Oakland Athletics for an exhibition game at AT&T Park at 7:15. And I cannot go, and that just sucks.
Anyhoo, SFMTA is encouraging you to take Muni to the ballpark tonight and for the next six months. Hey, it beats driving!
