Juan Uribe is the latest Giants hero in 6-5 win over Phillies


Although bothered by a bad wrist, he hits a sacrifice fly to drive in the winning run in the ninth inning and give San Francisco a 3-1 lead in the best-of-seven National League Championship Series.

---------------------------------------------

The San Francisco Giants are a Major League Baseball (MLB) team based in San Francisco, California, which currently plays in the National League West Division. One of the older baseball teams, the Giants have won the most games of any team in the history of American baseball.

The Giants played in New York City through the 1957 season, after which they moved west to California to become the San Francisco Giants.

As the New York Giants, they won 17 pennants and 5 World Championships, from the era of John McGraw and Christy Mathewson to that of Bobby Thomson and Willie Mays. The Giants have not won a World Championship since 1954, and have never done so in San Francisco, for the third-longest championship drought among MLB teams behind those of the Chicago Cubs and Cleveland Indians (who were defeated by the Giants in the 1954 Series).

The Giants have won three pennants in San Francisco. Game 7 of the 1962 World Series ended dramatically when a potential game-winning hit by Willie McCovey was caught. Most recently, a Giants team led by Barry Bonds lost to the Anaheim Angels in 2002.

The Giants are the 2010 champions of the National League West and are currently in the playoffs for the first time in seven years. In the first round of playoffs they defeated the Atlanta Braves to reach the National League Championship Series where they face the Philadelphia Phillies.

  7. The men of the Giants are called "misfits" & "castoffs" -- but together, they did it!!!
    No matter what the outcome of the World Series will be, they are heros in fans' mind.

    (Cody Ross was named MVP).
