Rael's Bio
I am a born and raised San Franciscan and a lifelong Giants fan. I also root for the Niners and Warriors but I bleed orange and black. I was at two of the three World Series games at Pac Bell in 2002 (for free thanks to a friend who worked the turnstiles) and have seen many of Barry Bonds' home runs sail into McCovey Cove.
