San FranCHAMPIONS of 2010

This morning the World Champion San Francisco GIANTS returned home and were greeted by a fans of all ages. As the buses rolled in the cheers got louder. The Mayor Gavin Newson is amongst some of the GIANTS fans now recalling their love for the American Past-Time.

 Since the play-off run and making it to the World Series, we have had our City Hall lit with orange lights, we have won bets with other cities and had our flag raised above Atlanta's City Hall(Check my archive for that story.) and it was all for a good cause. Over 50 years in the making.

 Upon arriving home the players I'm sure were exhausted but signed autographs and talked with the fans as they showed off the Trophy our GIANTS proudly have brought home. Crowds were ecstatic

.

But last night in the City of San Francisco there was a different story. People celebrating in the streets turned ugly and started burning trashcans and starting small bonfires which the police Chief said he would allow until the fires or crowd got out of control, which it eventually did. 

 One crowd at the intersection of Mission street and 11th street at one point surrounded a car that tried to make it's way through the people in the street. The crowd turned on the car and passengers, pulling the doors open and trampling the car. The vehicle was eventually set on fire and the police intervened. There were reports of a few arrests but authorities are still the suspects and victims in the car case as they were all gone by time the police responded.                                             

  SERIOUSLY?

 So all in all it was a Glorious night for all San Franciscans and tomorrow there will be a parade in the GIANTS honor. (The route is shown above.)

 The parade will start on Montgomery st at Washington st, then turn onto Market st headed west towards City Hall. It will then turn off of Market st onto Mcallister st and continue to its end at Civic Center Plaza.

 Edgar Renteria has been named Most Valuable Player last night. Renteria hit a game clinching 3 run home run in the 7th inning to make the game 3-0 , which ended at 3-1 with the Rangers only scoring 1 run from a solo home run shot directly answering Renteria's. The bottom line is that it wasn't enough to stop the GIANTS.
