For 53 years, San Francisco waited. Waited for a team like the 2010 Giants to come along. Waited for a team that could end a title drought that started in New York and carried on for more than five decades after a move to the West Coast. Waited for that one magical postseason run that could unleash more than a half-century of pent-up frustration. At long last, the 2010 Giants hopped on that magic carpet and made it happen. San Jose Mercury News beat reporter Andrew Baggarly captured the 2010 Giants' incredible run through the regular season, playoffs and World Series in his new book.

The Oakland A's of the early 1970s were the most transformative team in baseball history. Never before had an entire organization so collectively traumatized baseball's establishment with its outlandish behavior and business decisions - or with its indisputable winning record: five straight division titles and three straight championships. The high drama that played out on the field was exceeded only by the drama in the clubhouse and front office.

At a 1931 barnstorming exhibition game in Tennessee, a 17-year-old pitcher for the Chattanooga Lookouts struck out Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig back to back. Her name was Jackie Mitchell - "organized baseball's first girl pitcher." In July 1970, a stripper rushed onto the field at Riverfront Stadium to kiss Johnny Bench, temporarily disrupting a game attended by President Nixon and his family. These are just some of the great, quirky, and comic moments in the annals of baseball recorded in The Greatest Baseball Stories Ever Told.

Editorial Reviews

Tales from the San Francisco Giants Dugout traces the storied history of this relocated Major League Baseball team through multidimensional profiles of famous players like Barry Bonds as well as through chronological profiles of individual decades. Professional voice artist Dan Lenard brings a liveliness to these tales that rivals an excited sports announcer’s.

Co-authors (and Giants fans) Peters and Shea make ample use of quotes from manager Dusty Baker and assorted players to tell the story of the New York team that moved to California in 1958. When Lenard performs the tale of Barry Bonds’ quest for a home run record, the listener is on the edge of his figurative seat, which may or may not be stationed behind home plate.

Publisher's Summary

This updated edition tells the best stories about the reigning World Series champions.

The rich tradition of the San Francisco Giants has provided indelible memories for their fans ever since they moved from New York’s Polo Grounds to Seals Stadium in 1958. Tales from the San Francisco Giants Dugout captures some of the humorous and poignant moments of the team’s years on the West Coast, from the intense rivalry with the Dodgers to their amazing victory in the 2010 World Series.

don't bother

this is just a recitation of games, play by play of a few semi-interesting games - no juicy stories about personnel. nothing you can't find in a book of Giant's statistics.

Reader should be fired

Mispronounced so many names it was a huge distraction from an otherwise interesting read. Any Giants fan would be outraged!
