Larkspur Ferry Adds Service for Giants FanFest

Major League Baseball’s Opening Day is nearly two months away.

But you spent all winter growing, grooming and possibly dyeing your beard in anticipation of the return of the .

Your wait is over.

The 18th Annual KNBR 680 Giants FanFest takes place at AT&T Park on Saturday, from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Fans can snag autographs from a host of players past and present, take a picture with the World Series trophy, walk the field, sit in the dugout, and get up close with players and coaches. The event includes live KNBR broadcasts on the field, player Q&A, a kids zone and a viewing of the 2010 World Series trophy.

Admission is free, and the Golden Gate Larkspur Ferry has added an extra trip for Marin fans looking to head to the city to attend FanFest. The added trip departs Larkspur Ferry Terminal at 10:30 a.m. and arrives at the Golden Gate Ferry San Francisco Ferry Terminal at 11:15 a.m. AT&T Park is a 20-minute walk from the terminal, and fans can also take the SF Muni to the park. The one-way cash ferry fare is $8.25 for adults and $4.10 for youth/seniors/disabled. Children 5 and under ride free (limit 2 with each fare-paying adult). Clipper cards are accepted.

A bevy of Giants will be at the event, including stars like Buster Posey, Cody Ross, Matt Cain, Madison Bumgarner, Tim Lincecum, Brian Wilson and Pablo Sandoval, as well as manager Bruce Bochy.
