Now that the Giants are on their biennial tear through the playoffs, it's a fine time to review some of the baseball-related coverage we've churned out over the years.
November 1, 2010
When the Giants won the World Series in 2010, the Lower Haight erupted with champagne, toilet paper, and revelry.
November 3, 2010
Unfortunately, it wasn't all fun and games for Memphis Minnie's, as the bbq joint's van was damaged by some overly excited fans.
October 28, 2012
The night the team won its most recent World Series title, fans filled the streets — and bars — of the Castro.
October 29, 2012
A similar scene unfolded in the Lower Haight, with revelers partying until the wee hours of the morning.
October 29, 2012
Unfortunately, businesses in the Castro suffered thousands of dollars' worth of damage that night, with windows smashed by vandals.
November 6, 2012
And celebrations in the Upper Haight took a tragic turn, as a 37-year-old man was attacked at Haight and Masonic, and later died from his injuries.
November 21, 2012
The team debuted a documentary film about its 2012 season, and the sold-out premiere raised $10,000 for the SF Food Bank.
June 12, 2013
The Petaluma-based ice cream company stirred up a little controversy last year by signing Giants pitcher Sergio Romo to be the face of its Mexican Chocolate flavor. The tagline "it only tastes illegal" was a nod to the profiling policies of states like Arizona at the time (and Romo's comments on the topic).

It was a dream come true for local resident Dan Jackson, who just barely got to AT&T Park in time to throw out the first pitch at a Giants/A's pre-season game.
August 24, 2014
100 years ago, this stadium at Turk and Masonic hosted baseball games, circuses, and a whole lot of fog. Like so many early San Francisco structures, the stadium eventually succumbed to a devastating fire.
Rest assured we'll have plenty more baseball coverage ahead, especially with the next World Series berth as close as three quick victories away.
Go Giants.
