With
a
history
that
straddles
two
coasts
and
more
than
a
century
of
winning,
the
Giants
baseball
club
stands
out
as
one
of
the
great
franchises
of
professional
sports.
The
2010
World
Series
championship—the
franchise’s
first
since
moving
to
San
Francisco
more
than
50
years
ago—provided
the
ultimate
high
for
a
team
steeped
in
history
and
tradition.The
Giants
organization
boasts
more
Hall
of
Fame
inductees
than
any
other
baseball
team,
as
well
as
21
National
League
pennants
gathered
over
nine
different
decades.
From
McGraw
and
Mathewson
to
Mays
and
Marichal,
Hubbell
and
Ott
to
Lincecum
and
Posey,
the
Giants
have
been
bringing
excitement
and
drama
to
the
diamond
for
generations.Giants
Past
&
Present
goes
around
the
horn
to
celebrate
the
legends
at
each
position
on
the
field—from
the
little-remembered
stars
of
the
nineteenth
century
to
the
heroes
of
tomorrow—and
visits
the
memorable
and
distinctive
ballparks
that
have
housed
the
team
on
two
ends
of
the
continent.
The
book
presents
the
players,
the
dugout
and
front-office
wizards,
the
voices
from
the
broadcast
booth,
the
hard-luck
heroes,
and
the
myriad
rites
of
spring
that
keep
fans
coming
back
year
after year.
