GO BARRY ZITO!

BRING IT ON HOME GIANTS
   
 by Jackie Wright   
There are some cherished moments in life that become sweeter with just a little time.

Hey, I wasn't too happy about going to a Giants news conference at the time, LaHitz Sports Director, Jacquie Taliaferro asked me to stretch a little and cover sports.  I had not covered sports since my days at WXAG in Athens, Ga.  But as you can see from the picture there are benefits, to playing the game sometimes.  I had a chance for a photo op with Giants pitcher Barry Zito who is now opening pitcher for Game One of the 2012 World Series, which starts today.  He's a gracious sportsman on and off the field.  At least that was my experience.  Godspeed Barry! 

Click the photo and see "Face Time" clip at mlb.com of how Giants Manager Bruch Bochy had a tough time trying to reach Barry to let him know he's first up on the mound.  Hear from: Barry Zito, Bruch Bochy, Brian Wilson, Buster Posey, Brandon Belt, Ryan Vogelsong Tim Lincecum, Hunter Pence, and Marco Scutaro

How sweet it is Zito!

Jackie Wright, Barry Zito All Star Week 2007. Congratulations to Zito, who is a great sportsman on and off the field.
Much success! 
You know as a sidebar, we could sing a few bars of "Unforgettable"
that great Nat King Cole classic, made even more "Unforgettable" when technology allowed Cole's daughter, Natalie to sing the duet with him.  Here's the Zito sidebar musical tie-in.  Barry is the late in life child, born to Joe and Roberta, Zito who met while working for Nat King Cole.  Joe was Cole's music conductor and Roberta, a classically trained pianist and violinist, was a singer for Cole's  backup group, The Merry Young Souls.

There was another great moment that All Star Week!

Just a few weeks ago, in his coverage of the America's Cup, LaHitz Media' Jacquie Taliaferro made a prophetic forecast about the Giants
in the World Series 2012! 

Truly it's sweet San Francisco Times.

 
San Francisco- The America's Cup World Series could be the second world series in San Francisco within a year's time in that the San Francisco Giants might be in Major League Baseball's World Series.

For the first time since San Francisco was awarded host of the 34th America's Cup, racing boats were on the Bay, as the dog days of August were fading. Teams from around the globe, France, Italy, Korea, New Zealand, UK, USA, China and Sweden were all competing.

 

There are super views of the race from our Marina Green shoreline and specially built grandstands.

Grandstanding for the America's Cup with Jacquie Taliaferro from San Francisco Mayor Lee  to M.C. Hammer!  And You, "Can Touch This!" 

An event like this takes major sponsorship and requires partners and collaborators that cut across numerous private, public and nonprofit organizations. America's Cup will bring thousands of spectators from around the world to San Francisco. This will help improve/repair our waterfront that is in very bad shape. Some are projecting that the 34th America's Cup will create more than 8,000 new jobs and $1 billion in economic impact spread throughout the City.

 

Next races in San Francisco are October 2-7, 2012 with the finals on the Bay, September 7-22, 2013. Let the boats go and the money flow.
