It’s a Giant party out here!
The San Francisco Giants actually won the 2010 World Series today. I’m amazed. When we moved here over 3 years ago, they were suckin’ and had Barry Bonds hitting lots of homeruns. Now this team of misfits with long hair and beards have gone all the way and won the Championship.
As soon as it happened, the volume outside went through the roof and the party began outside the condo on King between 2nd and 3rd. The cops were out in full force and had the street closed to accommodate for all the people spilling out of the bars nearby.
After dinner, we went outside to check out the action and the crowd was surprisingly peaceful and joyous. Jes, the orange ninja, wore orange to blend in. It seemed to work since he got a big hug from a very happy fan. It was pretty humorous.
Here’s a video of the celebration. Pretty wild, huh?
Here are photos from our neighborhood experience. The energy is certainly contagious. Congrats, Giants.
