Description and Table of Contents
Description
For over a century, the Giants have dominated baseball like few other teams, commanding a loyalty from both fans and collectors that rivals the team's own record. For longer than anyone can remember, the Giants have been just that. In both San Francisco and New York they have loomed large on the field, dwarfing their opponents from 1885 onwards. With Christy Mathewson and John McGraw, Bill Terry and Carl Hubbell, the great Willie Mays, the dazzling Orlando Cepada, Johnny Mize, and Juan Marichal, the Giants have long been loaded with talent and brains, and they've got 16 pennants to prove it. Stories and the memorabilia are described here - the before and the after, the players and the games, 1905 World Series programmes and McGraw autographed balls, Willie Mays's spikes, Willie McCovey's jacket, and the tickets to the first game at Candlestick.
