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

We aint even mad (bum)

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.

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

mu bucket list

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…
