Swiss Posted July 15, 2005 Share Posted July 15, 2005 I'm relatively young so I never lived times when the Jints were in NYC but (besides being a strong Red Sox fan) I like the Giants franchise because of its very rich history.Yes, the Giants won only 5 WS but it's a view according the cold scores; what about the 21 NL pennants (3 from the 19th century) spanning 3 centuries and 2 cities?From the Polo Grounds aside the Harleem River to the SBC Park aside the Bay... some fans from the NY Chinatown to some fans from the SF Chinatown...Wore once violet pinstripes to wear now orange, black and cream...Remember fondly Mathewson... the inner HR of Casey Stengel... that upper leg of Mel Ott... the Shot around the World... bah, alots of memories. Yeah, Boston is the bitter rival city of NYC but I'm always seduced of the Jints' history. Mmmhhh... maybe viewing it with a Calvinist mode, the baseball history of the Red Sox is seemed to the Giants' one.Memorable moments on road to 10,000From this link, you can see that the Giants' 1,000th, 5,000th, 8,000th and 10,000th victories... are against the Dodgers... mmmbwahahahaha!

pcgd Posted July 16, 2005 Share Posted July 16, 2005 Here's something interesting...The next team to reach the 10,000 mark is...The Cubs.Here's the entire league as of earlier today:San Francisco Giants 10000 Chicago Cubs 9859 Atlanta Braves 9718 Los Angeles Dodgers 9675 St. Louis Cardinals (lost number 9,000 4 games ago)9639 Cincinnati Reds 9482 Pittsburgh Pirates 9461 New York Yankees 9144 Philadelphia Phillies (Lost 10,000 8 games ago)8727 Boston Red Sox 8312 Cleveland Indians 8256 Detroit Tigers (Lost 8,000 4 games ago)8192 Chicago White Sox 8169 Oakland Athletics 7827 Minnesota Twins 7753 Baltimore Orioles 7716 Los Angeles Angels 3465 Houston Astros 3452 Texas Rangers 3303 New York Mets 3273 Kansas City Royals 2847 Washington Nationals 2807 Milwaukee Brewers 2723 San Diego Padres 2659 Toronto Blue Jays 2222 Seattle Mariners 2119 Florida Marlins 924 Colorado Rockies 913 Arizona Diamondbacks 619 Tampa Bay Devil Rays 480 Interesting also, the Cubs are number 2 in wins and 3 in losses. The Braves are 3 in wins and 2 in losses.Other interesting things that I found:The Yankees have hit the most home runs with 13,157.Cubs have allowed the most home runs with 11,240.Surprise surprise the Rockies have the all time best Batting Average with a all time .282 BA. For teams that have been around for over 100 years, the Yankees, Red Sox and Cardinals are all tied for "number 2" at .267 BA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goalieboy82 Posted July 16, 2005 Share Posted July 16, 2005 1989: In front of a teary-eyed Candlestick crowd, Dave Dravecky completed a miraculous recovery from surgery to remove a cancerous tumor in his left (pitching) arm. He beat the Reds in that game on Aug. 10. Dravecky's arm would snap while throwing a pitch in his next start, and two years later, his arm would be amputated, but not deterring the spirit of a man who would become a popular motivational speaker. that must had hurt when his arm snap. so long and thanks for all the fish.

To me at least. I'm well aware they are one of the oldest clubs in the MLB.I also thought it was interesting that those 2 were 2 and 3 in both columns. Not really surprising or anything.

I'm well aware they are one of the oldest clubs in the MLB.I also thought it was interesting that those 2 were 2 and 3 in both columns. Not really surprising or anything. I can see that... It is amazing how much the Cubs pre-1946 history is forgotten:16 Pennants (1876, '80, '81, '82, '85, '86, 1906, '07, '08, '10, '18, '29, '32, '35, '38, '45)2 World Series Titles (1907, 1908)Record for wins in a season (1906 - 116) tied by the Mariners in 2001It's just that the post-1945 history is so bleak:3 Division titles (1984, '89, 2003)1 Wild Card (1998)1 Play-off round win (2003 - NLDS)Moose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pcgd Posted July 16, 2005 Share Posted July 16, 2005 Yeap, they lost their 10,000 on June 26th vs. the Red Sox.To be fair, the Cardinals lost their 9,000 on June 30th to the Rockies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
