Man, what an unexpected birthday bonus: @SFGate’s “Fightin’ Fernets” won the first annual kickball game against @sfchronicle today in gorgeous Golden Gate Park, 15-7.
Got two birthday serenades, a 3-for-3 day at the plate and victory Fernet shots. Love this newsroom!
Incredible kickball game today!

A quick fun 🧵👇https://t.co/6Nofbt3BV7
