Okay, not quite as memorable, but the fan going nuts below is how I felt with my SF Giants going to the World Series:
I think I learned some of my first swear words in Candlestick park, growing up with Jeffrey Leonard, Jose Uribe, Will “the Thrill” Clark, and friends. The Bonds years were interesting, but I’m glad to see this new bunch of Giants. Brian Wilson is, as far as I can tell, absolutely crazy. Buster Posey has no idea he should be scared to death. And man, this team is completely and totally CLUTCH.
Go Giants!!!!
I’ve been waiting longer than you (I remember the ’62 Series) but the tension and the joy are the same. Go Giants!!
I thought Joe Buck might indulge, but he only said “The Giants Win the Pennant” once (and without the exclamation point). That was classy, I guess, but still it felt like a missed opportunity.
