San Fran Giants ticket info

The San Francisco Giants call one of the most beautiful and historic cities on the West Coast of the United States their home. The San Francisco Giants ball club has roots that date back to the late 1800’s and cover both coasts of the nation. Founded in New York and then moving to San Francisco in 1958, they are proven winners that amaze and astound baseball fans and baseball players across the globe.

Arguably the greatest player to ever play baseball, Willie Mays wore a Giants uniform for 22 seasons and astonished fans and fellow players with his hitting, his running and his unsurpassed fielding. A statue of him stands outside SBC Park where his memory will live on for ages and the current roster of San Francisco Giants can turn him for inspiration to continue their winning ways. The average cost for a San Francisco Giants ticket in 1950 was about $1.60 According to Baseball and Billions, by Andrew Zimbalist, but the memories of the games played by such a great player are priceless.

This century has been fairly good to the San Francisco Giants. In 2000 they won the NL West Division Title, sold out every home game, Dusty Baker won his third NL Manager of the Year award, and Jeff Kent won the NL MVP. 2001 showcased Barry Bonds hitting a record making 73 homeruns on the year. In 2002 they sailed all the way to the World Series before losing to the Angels. In 2003 with manager Felipe Alou, the Giants were only the 9th team in Major League Baseball history to lead their division from the start to finish of the season before losing to the Marlins in the playoffs. In 2004 they barely missed the playoffs, but 2005 was the only truly disappointing season because of injuries to Barry Bonds that caused him to miss almost the entire season. Bonds’ healthy status as well as a full off-season of rest and rehab should be something for Giants fans to be optimistic about.

With seventeen World Series appearances and five titles, the San Francisco Giants have a tradition of winning second to no one besides the New York Yankees. With the current roster and past power hitting seasons by Barry Bonds, the Giants are sure to continue their winning ways and top the National League Division West this year, especially after finishing only seven games behind the division leader Padres. San Francisco Giants tickets should be a must for anyone living in or passing through the great city by the bay between April and deep into October of next year.
