Baseball
The Giants are in first place. Shocked? Don't be. We're talking about the San Jose Giants of the California League, a much better team. The local nine play all summer long at San Jose Municipal Stadium. Tickets are a very reasonable $6-$12, and there really aren't any seats out of reach of a well-hit foul ball. Call 408.297.1435 for information.
