The game of Baseball goes back as far as the Civil War. In those early days they didn’t play the game with gloves they used their bare hands.

The last World Series win for the Giants was in 1954 against the Cleveland Indians. Since the move, The Giants made it to the World Series three times since the 1958 relocation, but lost each time.

It’s been a very long while since the San Francisco Giants have won the World Series.
