Game 4 of World Series about to begin
Game 4 of the World Series is at AT&T Park in San Francisco Saturday night.

SAN FRANCISCO (KGO) -- Getting AT&T Park ready for Game 4 wasn't easy. There's a lot of rainwater to get rid of some seats near home plate were flooded. Tarps were removed from the field by midday after rain clouds moved out.

Austin Shoveleski stood in the rain since midnight to be the first in line to watch the game from the free arcade outside.

"It would shower pretty decently, then level off to a mist. l got to see my boys win today," said Shoveleski.

Jay and Kym Apodaca brought rain panchos just in case and two World Series tickets protected in a zip lock bag. But their World Series victory dreams are waterproof.

"This is Giants baseball torture. Nail biters, always," said Kym Apodaca.

The Weiss family from Salt Lake City came with some advice for the team.

"They need to start hitting. Posey, Pence, hit!" said Dallas Weiss.

With the Royals two games up, Steve Graves feels like a king. He flew from Colorado without a ticket.

"Everybody had been really friendly. I got some help getting directions here. I will say this much, you got some really nice people here," said Graves.

Army Staff Sgt. Pedro Aleman is rehearsing. He'll sing God Bless America during the game.

"It was nerve racking because my brain is trying to process it, but at the same time it's all pure excitement," said Aleman.

That's kind of the way most fans are feeling, hoping the Giants go all the way!
