Published on: October 18, 2019

Photos of the legendary San Francisco Giants include the crowd urging them to stay in New York, Seal Stadium where the Giants played their first two seasons in San Francisco, a huge ticker-tape parade to welcome the Giants after they moved to San Francisco (Jim King & Bob Speak are in the first car while Willie Mays & Darrel Spenser are in the second car,) and a photo of Willie Mays & Orlando Cepeda.

Exciting Baseball Fever is in the air as we enter World Series Season. For baseball fans, it’s “root, root, root” for your team. In the past decade, I was rooting for my home team, the San Francisco Giants, as they won 3 World Series Championships in just 5 years!

Some ask what Buster Posey’s roll will be in 2020, or wonder if Will Smith and “MadBum” Madison Bumgarner will sign with another team.

Legendary characters such as Carl Hubbell, Rogers Hornsby, Willie Mays, Willie McCovey, Juan Marichal, Gaylord Perry, Bobby & his son, Barry Bonds, Pablo Sandoval, Tim Lincecum,  and so many others played for the Giants and are covered in a fantastic book, San Francisco Giants–Images of Baseball.

The book is a history of the San Francisco Giants from their days playing in New York through their first World Championship in San Francisco (in 2010.)

Read Craig MacDonald’s review of this photo-filled book written by Tricia O’Brien, Arcadia Publishing.
