The History Of Baseball In San Francisco

Even though the San Francisco Giants have won three chips in the past 14 years, the fan base has seen it's share of cold days and hard times. There were the windy, foggy days, out at Candlestick Park. The happless teams of the1980's and 90's. Being seductively wooed by Toronto in the 1970's, and by the city of Tampa in the 1990's. As well as the two years of watching Armando Benitez as their closer. This week we examine the baseball history of the venerable city by the bay. Even though the Giants have been residents of the Northern California city for a mere 66 years, the history of the game reaches far back to 1860, when spectators would sit in the stands and fire off their six-shooter pistols in the air. From the San Francisco Seals, to the Giants, being the most successful baseball team of the 21st century, I gotcha hook up.
