VMware Baseball Game
SF Giants – Arizona Diamondbacks Baseball Game. Esther Westerweele is the Marketing Manager Benelux at VMware and invited me and my wife to the SF Giants – Arizona Diamondbacks Baseball game on the 10th of September. Prior to the game we had a Tailgate classic party with barbecue and drinks. I have never been to a baseball game before and found it to be a fantastic experience. Half the stadium ;-) was filled up with VMware clients cheering and singing. Eventually the Giants lost the game with 5-3. I shoot some video footage. You can take a look here.
