We were and are Giants fans and often went to see them and he was our definite fave and the crowd fav as well. He rarely missed at least getting on base. I'm not a big baseball fan, but my husband and friends were and we always had a great time at the games. I still support the Giants even though we moved from that area 30 years ago. My husband and I drink coffee from one of their championship mugs every am.
