Moments To Remember
“When other nights and other days
May find us gone our separate ways
We will have these moments to remember”
-The Four Lads
Even in a game to forget, there are some great moments. To end the second inning of tonight’s game, Pablo Sandoval caught a ball hit by Nolan Arenado in foul territory. Instead of throwing the ball into the stands he gave it to some Giants fans sitting along the third base-line – making today’s game one they will always remember.

“Deep inside the forest is a door into another land,
Here is our life and home,
We are staying, here forever in the beauty of this place all alone,
We keep on hoping…”
-Thom Pace
The song above doesn’t have anything to do with the game tonight, but it seems appropriate since we are in Denver.
