Old but Slow wrote:like you, Sista, I have been a long time Giants fan. Baseball Giants, that is. When I was a kid there was only two major league teams that were on the West Coast, the Giants and Dodgers. They came out here after the '57 season. The first major league game I saw was the Dodgers against the Milwaukee Braves in 1959, in the LA Collusseum (or however its spelled). Amazing players all over the place. The Dodgers won 11 to 1, but to see the players: Hank Aaron, Gil Hodges, Duke Snider, Red Schoendienst, Del Crandall. And the pitching matchup was Drysdale against Warren Spahn, and both starting pitchers hit home runs. Carl Furillo, Wally Moon, John Roseboro (I think it was him who later went after Koufax with a bat), Frank Torre, and my favorite, Eddie Matthews.
Terrible stadium for baseball, we were right behind home plate but way up in the stands, and it looked like that if you took a good leap you could land on home plate. Short porch with a high wall in left field, and an artificial fence in center and right. Great times, I was still in junior high and was with my dad. I was sorry not to see PeeWee Reese and Jackie Robinson, but they had both just retired. Seems like yesterday.
Despite that game, I was a Giant fan, maybe because of Willie Mays, and continued to be for a long time. Still pulling for them to win this one, although it is a bit greedy to get another with their recent successes.

Hawk Sista wrote:Future... You are flippin bananas. I don't live in SF, though it's one of my favorite cities in the whole world. I live in Fresno where there are many Niner, Raider, Ram and Cowboy fans. Since the niners started winning, there may be a few more of them, but it's a pretty good mix. Same with baseball...unless one is a transplant, most Fresnan's are Giants, As, Angels or Dodger fans. And most are laker, clipper or Kings fans. Almost nobody round here follows Bay Area basketball.
Many people around here love the Niners and the Dodgers and HATE the Giants, for example...as is the case for a co-worker..... So your silly little rant sounds like nonsensical drivel. Why I respond is beyond me. And I thought you were further east, like in waaaaay worse Yosemite fire smoke than me. Everyone knows those people are Kings fans. Unless you moved or lied.

I posted on facebook that my loyalty to the SF Giants was in no way whatsoever to be construed to be anyting but disdain for the football team from Santa Clara.
don't want any confusion. I'll hate the red & gold till I'm dead and cold.
