I grew up in the NYC area 50s and 60s and rooted for the Giants - still do. I was so PO'd when they moved to SF and couldn't watch the "Say Hey Kid" on local TV.
But I was even more PO'd when the Giants added superstars like Willie Mccovey, Orlando Cepeda, and Bobby Bonds.
And now they're all dieing off or already gone. So sad.
RIP "Stretch" ...

They never could quite get past the Dodgers or Cardinals (six pennants total), Pirates (two pennants), or Reds except for 1962 and they had to beat the Dodgers in a playoff just to meet the Yankees in the Series.
