Congratulations to the Giants

[coyote454]

First time since 1954, and first World Series Championship since coming to California in 1958!

Congratulations to the San Francisco Giants! *Growing up in San Francisco, watching Mays, McCovey, Cepeda, Marichel and the rest, I've been waiting a LONG time!!

I grew up in the Bay Area during that era (late 50s thru late 60s). Though I was a Dodger fan, I went to many games in The Stick as a kid. It has indeed been a long time coming.

I was even at the game when Marichal attacked John Rosboro of the Dodgers with a bat. That was a bit troubling to see for an adolescent.

There was a World Series this year?*

Just a little East Coast bias.

Yip, BL, there was indeed a World Series. *And come to think of it, *every east coast team and I have a lot in common. *

We all got to watch it on TV!

In game 4, Bumgarner (21 year old) was the youngest pitcher to start a World Series since 1981 and he joined with Posey to be the first rookie pitcher/catcher team in the WS since 1947!


So yip, there really was a great series. And that takes nothing from Texas, as their franchise had never been to a WS. *They did remarkably well themselves!


Okay, I'm through gloating over the Giants. *We won't talk about the Niners!

I'm not a huge baseball fan, but I so enjoyed this year's World Series, and I was rooting for the GIANTS every step of the way. Ya gotta love that little Tim Lincecum, no more looks like a ballplayer/pitcher than I do and so young. Black Beard Wilson may get most of the praise, but that Tim was really something.

Canada could have taken a shot.

Heh, heh, heh, it does rather illustrate why the rest of the world feels sometimes, (mistakenly I'm sure), that the US has a bit of a superiority complex......
