SAN FRANCISCO -- Each season, I look forward to the Phillies' trip to San Francisco, which has to be one of my three favorite cities outside of the NL East (with Chicago and Denver). Between the perfect weather, the idyllic ballpark and the stunning scenery, San Francisco has it all. If you're ever here, I highly recommend having some clam clowder in a sourdough bread bowl from here, nibbling on a few chocolates from here, navigating (by foot, of course) the world's crookedest street, walking across (or taking a ferry underneath the Golden Gate Bridge) and checking out the sea lions while doing some shopping here. A friend who lives here told me touring Alcatraz at night is awesome, although I've never done it. And if you want to steer clear of the touristy stuff, there are plenty of good restaurants like this that are off the beaten path.No wonder Jimmy Rollins loves the Bay Area so much.
Speaking of which, we'll be seeing the reigning NL MVP in about 30 minutes when the Phillies' clubhouse at AT&T Park opens to the media. I'd be surprised if he isn't activated from the disabled list, but keep it here for updates.
