Time will tell whether or not the Texas Rangers can gun down the Giants. They are a surprising opponent, considering the Phillies were favorites with deep pitching. The San Francisco Giants, like the Rangers, have no World Series pennants. There are many, however, in the history of this team.
They were once the New York Giants. Their beginnings go back to the 1880's. New York had the Yankees, Giants, and Dodgers of Brooklyn. Baseball was THE game in Gotham. The Giants moved to San Francisco and the Dodgers moved to Los Angeles. The Mets then came to New York. It is all about money.
The Giants had Barry Bonds. We all know about him. He broke all the home run records. It seems he and some others might have had steroidal help. Barry Bonds played his last game for the Giants in September three years ago. He went 0-3 in his last game. Prepare to hear about him in days to come. This was Willie Mays' team as well. He will be visual. There will also be an underpaid pitcher named Barry Zito, getting only $127 million for his seven year contract.
Bring on the Giants! " The bigger they are the harder they fall."
