Fight To Make Marco Scutaro Rain Globe A Reality

Brock Keeling — Mon, 14 Jan 2013 16:20:37 GMT

"Come help fight for the most important cause of your life," urges Grant Brisbee of McCovey Chronicles. And what might that cause be? A Marco Scutaro rain globe.

During the ninth inning of Game 7 of the NLCS, if you recall, the rain fell down like a Hilary Duff song. And it was beautiful. The magic of HD captured drops of rain looking like diamonds -- jagged diamonds tearing apart the hopes of St Louis. The most iconic image during the downpour, of course, was that of Scutaro catching rain on his tongue, with arms wide open.

We must have this in globe form. Don't believe us? Read this. Read it again. THEN HELP MAKE IT HAPPEN. Baseball season seems like years away, but just knowing that this is the nascent stages of production could cheer us up.

Go to McCovey Chronicles right now to fully understand the seriousness of this memorabilia. At the very least, it would beat buying another fuzzy panda hat.

Brand Your Bread With SF Giants Logo

This is pretty awesome. Slap some bread in this beauty, and it will come out toasted with a perfect SF Giants logo! We believe the manufacturer when they say, "This retro toaster's fun feature may even help picky children eat their breakfast!" Forget Wheaties!

Be sure to also get these rad Giants' salt-and-pepper shakers, this sweet throw rug, and put some Louisiana Fried Chicken in this Giants' bowl set! Or how about this lovely gnome?! (Why are we yelling?!)

We have to wonder though, where's the "World Champs" tagline?

Sneak a Peek at SF Rock Memorabilia, the Old Mint This Weekend

Through Sunday, Wolfgang's Vault is exhibiting Bill Graham's prolific collection of San Francisco rock memorabilia in Backstage Pass: A Sweeping History of Rock 'n' Roll at the historic Old Mint Building, whose doors have been closed to the public since 1994.

The vast hallways and ballrooms have been covered with banners, posters, and photographs, displaying the rich history of the performers, venues, promoters, and artists in San Francisco's music scene. The exhibition also includes the original backstage door to the Winterland Ballroom, which was the place to be back in the day.

Visitors will also get the chance to check out the Old Mint's vaults and counting rooms. Exciting!

All proceeds will benefit the San Francisco Historical Society, who are currently raising $83 million to restore and renovate the building.
