[ applause and cheers ] >> reporter: yes. fans very excited. of course, who wouldn't be after seeing last night's game. [ screaming ] >> reporter: this is the line if you want to get into the game to see it for free. you can only see three innings at a time and then people are rotated out. the line is actually much smaller than it was at this time yesterday. [ screaming ] >> reporter: so you could even come on down and get a shot at checking it out for free. either way excitement all over the area. [ screaming ] >> this ragtag team is going to wind world series. without question. >> yeah! >> reporter: today people are lining up to buy more world series gear and to see the game for free. this man was here at 5:30 a.m. >> the world series is in my city. it's kind of last night stayed home and watched the game with my wife, with the hot dogs and everything but this wasn't quite the same. >> reporter: but in this line, there is some competition and rumors of people cutting in. >> just let them stand there with the kids and like four or five kids with those sad eyes like whoa so we let the kids in. >> reporter: and there's a lot of strategy involved. >> i figure here will at least get me in position for four five and six and then i'll have the choice to do four, five and six or let some people legally go in front of me for 7, 8 and 9. >> reporter: but loyal followers did get a visit and some hugs from giants mascot lou-seal. >> oh, lou. >> reporter: gavin newsom made an appearance this morning as well to recount his experiences at the game last night. >> i literally physically have to have someone i can use just to you know -- i don't know. >> reporter: who is this person? >> no, i had nancy pelosi's grandson last night. i swear to you. he couldn't have been more than 12 or 13 and the guy was abused. literally grabbing him, holding him, hit him when things went wrong. when things went right i pushed him down as i jumped up. >> reporter: for those who could only afford one night in the stands, it's time for some last-minute souvenirs and heading home for tonight's game. >> we did it, one game, were here, got to see them. they are going all the way this year. >> reporter: how are you feeling about today? >> very strong. very strong. very excited. >> reporter: oh, you got to love lou-seal and you're taking a live look at mccovey code. you have the boats lined up to hopefully catch a ball. first pitch at 4:57. >> i'm kind of sorry you lost the beard, anne. >> reporter: i did. [ laughter ] >> come on. >> reporter: that was a one trick pony sort of thing. you see that one once. [ laughter ] >> anne makovec, thanks. [ loud noises in the background ] >> we'll let you get back to your friends. >> i think gavin newsom's tie was more orange than mine. prices for game two. tickets anywhere from $460 to more than $11,000 apiece. and the big question, will the rain be the unwelcome visitor at tonight's game? tracy has a game night forecast >> you know what? at least we have one out of the way where there is no rainfall. we do have some clouds that moved in yesterday. more clouds are moving in today. here's a look at our high-def doppler radar. and this is what we're watching, a frontal system off the coastline not making much headway. we do have a pretty decent chance of showers for the north bay for the morning and the afternoon but a slim chance for the rest of the bay area for the coastline and also for the bay. so the world series gam 2, 4:57 a possibility of showers, no washout. it will be light at best as texas rangers take on the san francisco giants. temperatures pretty nice, the lower 60s. coming up, we are going to take a look at your weekend forecast. we do have more rainfall expected for the next couple of days. i'll let you know if this weekend will be a washout, too, coming up. >> because giants go to texas but we got to stay here for the weekend. >> yeah. >> all right, tracy, thanks. you saw the sign in anne's package, cody ross for governor? he is not running but with five days to the election, the polls show jerry brown who is running widening over meg whitman in the governor's race. the latest field poll shows brown with a 10-point lead over whitman, 49 to 39%. last month they were in a dead heat. the latest poll shows jerry brown picking up support from latinos, women and independents. carly fiorina is out of the hospital. she is back on the campaign trail today. right now the republican senate hopeful is at an event near sacramento talking about job creation and economic growth. later this afternoon she goes to southern california. earlier in the week she was hospitalized with an infection related to her bout with breast cancer. one expert says it could help her in the campaign. >> there might be a lot of women who can identify with the problem themselves with breast cancer so she might pick up some votes. >> most polls show the race is close. but barbara boxer continues to hold a slight lead. coming up, forget toys. what kids really want for christmas. plus a major recall at nissan. the problem with more than 2 million vehicles. and you have an an iphone? watch out. there is a new security flaw. how easy it is for a hacker to get all your information. ,, [ male announcer ] barbara boxer failed to protect california jobs. praises the stimulus plan. while two and a quarter million californians are unemployed. trillions in deficits. billions in taxes. our hopes. crushed by washington. the legacy of barbara boxer. we can change washington. but, not unless we change the people we send there. i'm carly fiorina and i approve this message. after another. and another. just a dishonest politician, trying to hide his record of failure. the real brown plan? more spending on out-of-control state pensions. more favors for the big teachers union, blocking education reform. more job-killing taxes and regulations. more of the same old failure from sacramento. job killer jerry brown. always more taxes, more spending, and more lost jobs. than 2-million vehicles because the engine can stall. the if you drive a nissan the all is recalling more than two million vehicles can stall. those vehicles made between 2003 and 2006. there are six models in the united states affected. they include the armada, frontier, pathfinder, titan, xterra and infiniti x56. so far there are no reports of any injuries or accidents. it turns out doesn't take much to hack into an iphone. apple says that with fewer than a half dozen clicks, a hacker can beat the security pass code. that intruder can look up contacts and make calls. it affects every iphone 4 in circulation out there. >> they put out a product, it's never going to be perfect. certainly, apple has that aura about it that they can do nothing wrong and some may belief that but this reinforces the case they are a company like any other. >> you have to sit tight because apple plans a software update sometime in november they say will fix it. high-tech gadgets are high on kids' holiday season lists this year. even barbie is getting a video makeover. the iphone 4, ipod touch and ipad are the top three most desired electronics this year. other popular toys include the playstation move and the flip video camera. okay, as for barbie, the barbie video girl features a camera lens hid then her necklace and then a video screen on her back there. she costs about 50 bucks. condiments, a boost in flavor, a boost to your health? i'll explain coming up. [ male announcer ] carly fiorina. she's against banning assault weapons... and that's reckless and dangerous. she's for risky new oil drilling that could threaten our jobs. fiorina's plan would mean slashing social security and medicare, which would devastate seniors. and she'd make abortion a crime. no wonder fiorina is endorsed by sarah palin. carly fiorina. just too extreme for california. [ boxer ] i'm barbara boxer and i approve this message. and a lot of people, when they get a denture, they think the best way to clean it is by brushing it with toothpaste. toothpaste contains abrasives that scratch dentures, leaving microscopic crevices where bacteria can grow, and bacteria can cause bad breath. the best way to go is to soak them in polident. only polident is proven to clean without scratching and kills 99.9% of odor-causing bacteria. i recommend using polident and soak every day. it's the right way to go. tonight, or watching the world series at home... bring on the dogs! the hot dogs. dr kim shows us.. there's a way to feel a little less guilty about chowin bring on the dogs. the hot dogs. dr. kim shows us a way to feel a little less guilty about chowing down on those. >> reporter: allen, you're making me hungry and it's almost lunchtime. whether you're at the ballpark or at home, mustard, ketchup, even a dollop of sauerkraut may do your body good. >> reporter: when you think health, you're probably never thinking of french fries or hot dogs. but even those guilty pleasures can come with a surprising health benefit. >> from cumin to core grander, mustard, ketchup, they add health. >> reporter: they give a flavor boost to foods and can boost your health. over the last 18 months, janet jenkins has made them an important part of her diet and lost more than 40 pounds even enjoying an occasional hot dog. >> i'm one of these unusual people who puts sauerkraut and actually mustard and ketchup at the same time. >> reporter: in ketchup, for example, lycopene is the anti- oxidant compound that gives tomatoes that bright red color. >> all ketchups aren't the same. organic ketchup has three times the lycopene of conventional ketchup. >> mustard seed in the family of foods as broccoli and cabbage a very strong anticancer. >> reporter: check for turmeric. >> it's a strong anti- inflammatory and may result in lower rates of alzheimer's in the world. >> reporter: if you have to eat a frank, top it with fermented cabbage low in calories and loaded with helpful bacteria, sauerkraut. if you can stand the heat, try hot sauce on burgers. >> that same thing that makes you sweat is what helps your metabolic rate increase a little bit. >> reporter: however, along with the pitch, here are the strikes. mustard can be high in salt, ketchup high in sugar and allen, that sauerkraut may need -- >> a little space between you and your neighbor but it's good stuff. >> reporter: everything in moderation and don't think this is really, really going to make everything else -- >> okay. >> reporter: but a little bit... always good. >> everything in moderation. >> reporter: enjoy the dog. let's enjoy the weather -- here, you want some sauerkraut? >> you guys are making me hungry. >> we'll cook for you after the show. >> reporter: i want my french fries. >> with garlic? >> reporter: ketchup. >> i'll take garlic fries. >> reporter: i hope you don't mind the forecast. we have changes moving into the forecast in the form of rainfall. north bay locations already seeing some showers. for the rest of the bay area you will be seeing them, as well. here's a look at our hi-def doppler. we still have some showers just off the coastline. those showers will be slowly sinking down to the south. [ laughter ] >> and as they sink down toward the south we'll see another chance of showers for the rest of the bay area coming in for the afternoon. afternoon forecast, cloudy, rain showers to the north, high temperatures in the mid- 70s. i'm laughing because dr. kim is supposed to flip the teleprompter. she forgot so she is over there giving herself a hard time. for the bay clouds and a slight chance of showers for the coast. temperatures 60s at the coast, upper 70s around the bay and mid-70s inland. i say warming up because these temperatures are 2 to 3 degrees warmer then yesterday. what's causing the showers is a warm front so we have a leading edge of warmer air. just slightly warmer. for tonight, rain showers again toward the north bay. a chance of rain for the bay and for the coastline. cloudy conditions expected. overnight lows in the upper 40s to the upper 50s. here's a beautiful look at a satellite and our radar system showing that nice low pressure system, nice counterclockwise circulation. you can see that frontal system that's moving in and the showers associated with it. that will be the drill today. a chance of showers throughout the day with mostly cloudy conditions. better chance of widespread rainfall tomorrow once that low pressure system gets closer. today's highs lower 70s in concord, 74 livermore, 72 fremont, 73 in san jose, 68 degrees in oakland, upper 60s in vallejo, mid-60s in napa, 62 in san rafael, 60 santa rosa and san francisco weighing in at 65 degrees. chance of showers today, better chance of rainfall tomorrow. cooler temperatures also expected for friday and saturday, with some leftover showers. sunday we'll see a mix of sun and clouds, some sunshine monday and tuesday. and wednesday, another chance of rainfall. just in case you're thinking about halloween, it is a couple days away. partly cloudy conditions are expected with temperatures from 55 to 65 degrees. that's a look at your weather. back up to you. >> thank you. don't blam dr. kim. i was distracting her with the sauerkraut. >> fun? i. >> thank you. lunch in 10 minutes. thanks, trace. do you know the muffin people? it's an east bay group that feeds the hungry in oakland and as sharon chin reports, it started nearly quarter century ago with this week's jefferson award winner. reporter: call them muffin people. 88-year-old john di palmero's group delivers groceries six days a week to st. mary's center and half a dozen oakland shelters. his mission is simple. >> there is a big need and instead of money, we give them our time. >> reporter: the 30 mostly retired volunteers rise before dawn to pick up expired but still edible food from several store changes. the muffin man admires di palmero's servant heart. >> he is always thinking about others. he never -- nothing is ever a problem. he is always to do anything that's asked of him. >> reporter: the muffin men started in 1988 when the director of st. mary's food program asked john and another retiree, joe stewart to collect- day-old bread and pastries to give to the hungry. john had just retired as a treasurer for a container ship company. >> when i retired, i was aafraid to be a potato couch. now here i am. i wanted to get something done. >> reporter: now, you might be wondering how it is that john's group became known as muffin men. he says it all started with a center that serves homeless women. >> at the friendly manor, they used to bring the english muffins in there and the women that they took care of, here comes the muffin man. that's how we developed the muffin man. >> reporter: the group became the muffin people when women joined a few years ago. as the need for food grew, so did the supply. today the muffin people estimate they give out more than $1.7 million worth of food every year. sister marilyn compares john to johnny appleseed. >> we talk fairly often about planting seeds of goodness and that's what he did so many years ago and it has grown. >> reporter: seniors like brenda whitfield depend daily on muffin people deliveries. >> if it was not for the muffin men bringing the food here every day, my table would be bare to none. >> reporter: a bad back stopped john from making deliveries in person a few months ago. and his muffin man cofounder has died. but john trudges on. >> just to see people, people get happy and being fed, there's it. that makes me happy and that makes the volunteers happy. >> reporter: for feeding oakland's hungry for the last 23 years this week's jefferson award in the bay area goes to john di palermo sharon chin, cbs 5. >> you can nominate your local hero for a jefferson award online at cbs5.com/connect. you will find the jefferson awards logo to click for the email form. stay with us. we'll be right back. i'm among 30,000 employees who used to work for hp. i was supposed to retire there. carly fiorina changed all that. fiorina laid off 30,000 people and she shipped our jobs to china and india. i had to pack my bags and i was out the door that night. we even had to train our replacements. she didn't need 5 corporate jets. one hundred million for herself. fiorina never cared about our jobs. not then and not now. "abolish the public schools." he even called our schools "insidious" and "socialism." as families struggle to raise their kids, to provide a good education, harmer bragged, "we can design a plan to dismantle them." david harmer is just too radical. we need jerry mcnerney. protecting local schools from devastating cuts. endorsed for his "independence" by the contra costa times, stockton record, and our local teachers. i'm jerry mcnerney, and i approved this message. tonight at five: vallejo... a bay area city struggling with bankruptcy. so how can they afford to pa crutch tonight at 5:00 on cbs -- coming up and the 5:00 on cbs 5, vallejo struggling with bankruptcy so how can it afford to pay someone $25,000 a month? we'll talk to that new hire today at 5:00. that's it for us at noon. we are always on cbs5.com. enjoy the afternoon. see you at 5:00 and 6:00. enjoy the game. we are here at 5:00, too. >> you are. >> if you don't like baseball. >> i'll be home. >> you will be with us in spirit. >> totally. >> they are already out there in their kayaks and yachts. go giants, good luck. ,, [ male announcer ] barbara boxer failed to protect california jobs. praises the stimulus plan. while two and a quarter million californians are unemployed. trillions in deficits. billions in taxes. our hopes. crushed by washington. the legacy of barbara boxer. we can change washington. but, not unless we change the people we send there. i'm carly fiorina and i approve this message.
