The kids' zone in left field -- including the Coke bottle slide and giant glove -- is a signature element at AT&T Park.
SAN FRANCISCO -- We're three hours before the first pitch of Game Two of the World Series on another beautiful day by the Bay. I have been crushed with what's-it-like questions on Twitter and via email because AT&T Park is widely known as the most picturesque venue in baseball. This is my fourth trip and, yes, it's awesome.
Most common inquiries: 1) Why do the stands in the upper deck in left field look empty? They're not; they're auxiliary media seats and there's giant tables in front of every other row that give the illusion they're empty. 2) What's with all the stuff in left field? The giant Coke bottle is actually a kid's slide and there's a mini-AT&T Wiffle Ball Park out there!!!).
To that end, I created a Flickr stream of a few dozen shots around the park. (I'm a relative newbie on that venture so go easy on me). Easily one of the most photogenic places in the majors. All the shots of McCovey Cove, the bay, the marina etc. were all taken inside the park from a food court in center field. Great stuff.
