And this coming from a Dodger fan.

VERY nice words from a D**ger fan! Sorry, I can't summon the same civility when it comes to your boys.

Here's young Brandon Crawford on the final day of the 1992 season, when it looked like the Giants were heading to St. Pete. I wrote a LOT of letters that year to anyone who might listen.

That's such a great shot. It surfaced a lot in 2012 WS, and I'm sure will get some more play this year if we get a little further.

Man, I remember that who saga so well. I was 15, totally broken hearted... 3 years removed from a WS, Will the Thrill still in his prime, China Basin ballpark vote fails, George Shinn ownership group falls through.. so bad. The emotional rollercoaster to follow-- Magowan group saves the day then sings Bonds for 7 years $42M, and an amazing and eventually heartbreaking 102 win season to follow. That '93 teams has gotta be one of the best not to make the playoffs.
