A Little Bit Of Baseball In Heaven

Well, Sid must be enjoying the World Series, what with the Giants up on the Rangers 2 zip!  They lost the last time they were in the series against the Angels back in 2002.  The team hasn't won a World Series since 1954, and never one since they've been in San Francisco.  When I had season tickets to the Dodgers, Sid used to call me at the beginning of every season and say "Mel, so ... you got any Giants' tickets for me this year?"  One of my co-workers is from the Bronx and sometimes I'd give the two of them my tickets and they'd go to the game together.  I'd sure hate to be the people sitting next to them during the games at Dodger Stadium!

One of the older baseball teams, the Giants have won the most games of any team in the history of American baseball, and any North American professional sports team. They have won 21 National League pennants and appeared in 18 World Series championships, both tied with rivals Los Angeles Dodgers for most in the league.
