Fans turned McCovey Cove into their backyard by firing up a grill

A common image of American childhood involves hanging out in the yard or park on a summer afternoon watching the adults grill while listening to the ballgame on the radio. During Wednesday night's Giants-Dodgers game, a group of fans in McCovey Cove did their best to recreate that image ... in a kayak.

While there was nothing on the grill during the moment captured above, the vast array of coolers aboard this pack of vessels surely meant that burgers and hot dogs were aplenty.
Thanks to the innovation of these fans, years down the road the idea of a barbeque on the bay during a baseball game may well be a part of the American image.
