Baseball-Themed Restaurants in Bay Area

With company coming to town in 5 months, it's time to start plotting the places to hit. Kivs is a baseball aficionado, so we'll definitely eat at a couple spots with great baseball memorabilia:

• McCovey's in Walnut Creek serves a pretty good burger and pulled pork sandwich. The beer is flowing, and it's a good place to watch a game.
• Lefty O'Doul's in San Francisco is an old-time place. I've only eaten there once and I don't remember it being anything special, but we've gotta at least check out the old photos and raise a pint.
  

Ted Williams' Boyhood Home

Here are two views of the Splendid Splinter's childhood home in San Diego, California, and the sign for the park by the house. It looks like a great place for a game of catch.
