San Francisco Giants Win World Series
On Monday night, the San Francisco Giants won their first World Series title since 1954 by defeating the Texas Rangers 3-1 in Game 5 of the 2010 World Series. The victory marked the Giants' first World Series victory since the franchise relocated from New York to San Francisco in 1958.
"This group deserved it, faithful from the beginning. We're proud and humbled by the achievement," said Giants general manager Brian Sabean.
"Pretty collected. I was very poised out there. From the first inning on
my adrenaline kind of just dissipated and I was able to calm down," said Giants ace pitcher Tim Lincecum, who faced off against and beat Rangers pitcher Cliff Lee for the second time in a week.
"There is no city that deserves this championship more," said baseball legend Barry Bonds, who never won a World Series during his 15 years with the Giants. "I grew up watching my dad and godfather as Giants, lived out
my dream playing in the same uniform in front of the best fans in the
world and I just witnessed the Giants winning the World Series. I am
ecstatic for the team, the city and all the fans -- you truly deserve
it."
