Giants vs. White Sox




Two games are under our belts. I hear it's going to rain this weekend. Hopefully we will have a dry window for our game.
We played the White Sox on Saturday. It was such a nice morning, not too cold, not too windy.
The music is JS Bach's Brandenburg Concerto No. 3. Bach wrote six concertos for Christian Ludwig, the margrave of Brandenberg-Schwedt, and presented them to him in 1721. I was led to wonder: what's a margrave?
They were medieval military noblemen and noblewomen and they were basically in charge of establishing and protecting borders with neighboring kingdoms in Eastern Europe. In some instances, the margraves had more power than kings and queens because they could engage and attack kingdoms and armies if the borders were breached.
Apparently this margrave liked Bach's music.
Enjoy!
