Summary: Giants book done right
Review: Ever since Bonds hit 73, the shelves have been littered with hastily-written garbage taking advantage of the Bonds phenomenon. This isn't one of them. An engaging, lively read, the author brings you right into the dugout. Wonderful!

Summary: Nice Collection of Stories
Review: This book is written by a man who has covered the Giants professionally for over 40 years and he's done a nice job of compiling stories and anecdotes about the team since its move to San Francisco in 1958. There are stories from the 1960s through the 1990s, detailing the Giants' successes and failures, their post season history and how close they've come to winning it all, only to have it end in frustration. There are stories about Candlestick, truly one of the most miserable places to endure watching a Giants' game, and also stories about the team's great stars: Willie Mays, Willie McCovey, Orlando Cepeda, Juan Marichal, Gaylord Perry, and yes Barry Bonds. Stories abound too about the Giants-Dodgers rivalry, including the 1962 playoffs and the infamous Juan Marichal- John Roseboro incident. This book is a fast and enjoyable read, one any Giants fan will love.
