On the first day of May, seniors pulled up a chair at the Pacifica Community Center to celebrate baseball.

With orange and black being the favored colors of the day and a dugout menu: hot dogs, cookies and orange Jell-O — seniors started their activities' lineup with a front row seat to the Frank Sinatra/Esther Williams/Gene Kelley 1949 box office smash "Take Me Out To the Ball Game."

At the noon hour, Emperor of Pacifica and Pacifica Historical Society member Frank Winston pitched a verbal homerun with his spirited reading of Ernest Lawrence Thayer's "Casey At The Bat."

sing-a-long and Tribune writer Barbara Arietta sold tickets to the Giants/Chicago Cubs game you don't want to miss.

That would be the one on June 30 at 7:15 p.m., invitation extended by the Pacifica Historical Society, to join an entourage of fellow Pacificans celebrating Pacifica's 50th year and the Giants 50th year in San Francisco.

For this "City of Pacifica Night at AT&T Park" tickets are 20 bucks and include a complementary tote bag. You can get your tickets through the Pacifica Historical Society, the Tribune or phone 650-359-5642. Play ball!
