You Know You're A Giants Fan When...

Three championships in five years means the Giants have a lot of fans, some old and some new. Some of the most gifted players in baseball history have played for SF and some of the current Giants have earned quite a reputation on the field as well. If you follow baseball, you either love the Giants or you love to hate them. Here are just a few things all Giants fans have experienced:

You’ve missed school or work for a parade

Whether it was the market street parades or a game you just couldn’t miss. You had no problem missing school to see your favorite team play. There’s nothing like playing hooky with your family while watching some ball in the Bay.

You support your team no matter how horrible their facial hair is

From our “Fear the Beard” days, to Timmy’s 8th grader mustache, we stuck by you guys through and through. Let's not forget those mohawks or mullet-like days either.

You’ve hit some epic home runs in the kiddie area

Whether you were 5 or 15, you felt like a rock star hitting a homer at AT&T Park, even if the bases were all five feet apart.

You’ve taken family trips to Arizona for Spring Training

If you’re from California, one of the only reasons you and your family would go on “vacation” to Arizona was for your favorite baseball team.

You’ve gone down the Coke Bottle Slide

You can see the iconic coke bottle from almost anywhere in the city and can't resist going up there to see what it is all about!

You love Kruk and Kuip

You’re just as big of a fan of the broadcasters as you are the players. Former Giants Kruk and Kuip’s adorable witty comments and dry humor make the games you watch from home or on the radio feel like a true Giants game. It feels like you’re watching with old friends when they’re commentating. You also absolutely hate having to listen to other commentators because it’s just not the same.

Everyone (even Dodgers fans) know AT&T has the best ballgame food

Whether you love or hate the Giants, you cannot argue with the hard and fast facts. Our ballpark food is amazing; it is actually so amazing you forget you’re eating at all ballpark sometimes. Two words: GARLIC FRIES…I rest my case.

One of my biggest pet peeves is when someone does not try to help their self before asking others. How can someone else be expected to help you if you do not first do that yourself? I'm all about helping those that need it when the time comes, however whenever someone does not even attempt to help him or herself first then that becomes a huge problem. As we all have learned, people tend to take advantage of us in one way or another. I am sure we all read this short story when we were younger and it follows that same principle:
