Willie Mays is smiling tonight! So are Orlando Cepeda and Juan Marichal!

(And, I think, somewhere, Harvey Milk and George Moscone are, too.)

4. Oh, I wish I could recommend this!
I grew up watching, uh, the Phoenix Giants. That did mean that I rooted for SF in the NL. (I'm a Brewers fan, originally from Wisconsin.) Anyway, I'm really happy for Giants fans tonight!

CONGRATULATIONS!

13. Giants on top of the world



(11-01) 19:49 PST ARLINGTON, Texas -- The Giants serenaded their thirsty fans with the perfect anthem before the first pitch of the 2010 World Series. The song they piped through AT&T Park was U2's "I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For."

The search lasted more than half a century and seemed so futile at times. Finally, the team and its long-pained fans have found what they were looking for. For the first time since the Giants moved to San Francisco in 1958, they are the champions of baseball.

The Giants won the 2010 World Series against the Texas Rangers four games to one, ending it with a 3-1 victory on a slightly chilly Monday evening at Rangers Ballpark in Arlington.

17. Congrats to the Giants and their fans.
Winter depression without baseball commences, we're one day closer to pitchers and catchers reporting.
