I was born into a family of avid baseball fans, divided nearly evenly between the Giants, Oakland Athletics... and Los Angeles Dodgers. Luckily, my dad was one of the Giants fans.
The first was the signing of Barry Bonds and his subsequent super star seasons... Suddenly baseball was a whole lot more interesting when Bonds was slugging his way into the record books.
The second moment was the very first time I walked into Oracle Park... Seeing the team in person in an electric environment breathed life into it.
I've reflected on some of my favorite San Francisco Giants memories, activities, and baseball comfort content... we all deserve a little nostalgic trip down memory lane.
