"History will find us."
--Brian Sabean
CONGRATULATIONS GIANNNNNNNTSSSS!!!!
YOU WON THE 2010WORLD SERIES!!!!
1 GIANTS!!!!
2 For the first time in 52 years the San Francisco Giants are World Champions!
3 TORTURE!!!!
4 No longer!
5 What's amazing is the completely surreal reality surrounding all of it.
6 The first thing I did, the second they won, was to call my Dad.
7 We both blamed my Mom for us finally winning!
8 The funniest thing was that I knew last night that I couldn't possibly have made it through another game.
9 It HAD to happen last night. For Mom. For Dad. For Aunt Tag. For all of us.
10 All I thought about all summer was dreaming about last night.
11 If you are a baseball fan, you know exactly what it is I'm talking about.
12 And when it finally happened, I stood astonished.
13 My brain stopped working for around five hours.
14 Did I want Edgar Renteria to be the hero?
15 I would have taken anyone, so why not Renteria? I was all over the guy all season, so he wasn't my first choice.
16 The beauty of all of this is that this was the penultimate team.
17 Before the game, I simply thought that I simply didn't have one more game left in me.
18 Right before the game, Duane Kuiper said, "Good night for baseball."
19 I knew right then that it was our night.
20 And nobody will ever have caught that, but I sure did.
21 Good night for baseball.
22 Because it was.
23 Like others, I found myself completely exhausted with baseball.
24 I was on every pitch, for eight months, and perhaps historically for fifty-two years.
25 That brought not only my Dad into the mix, but my Mom and her total vibes, and her Dad, and his total vibes, and everything that makes this sport the most emotional, amazing, and tortuous sport ever.
26 And after we won it all, I found myself unable to capture any of it.
27 Anything I had to say I said to my Dad, and for the life of me, I can't even remember what we said, but it simply doesn't matter.
28 First time in Giants' history that they won a game in November.
29 I guess what I'm trying to say is that after all of this torture, and after absolutely falling in love with this entire team, I have nothing left in me to express what it all means.
30 I just love life right now, and I love my Giants. I have orange and black bleeding out of me.
31 Maybe in some sort of strange way, I got that across.
32 The whole thing is surreal.
33 It is La Vie En Orange and Black.
35 Success is countest sweetest, sweet Emily, indeed.
35 And the sun shines on the Bay.
36 Thanks Giants, for an absolute MIRACLE, and for letting Dad know that Mom brought it.
37 Say hey.
38 And they say there is no crying in baseball.
39 Indeed. So this goes out to my Papu, to my Mom, to my Dad, to my Aunt Tag, and to my entire Family, and to the family of the San Francisco Giants:
40 Holla.
41 We did it.
42 Live life.
42 Love life.
43 Peace.
