San Francisco Giants

The San Francisco Giants play at Oracle Park along the shores of McCovey Cove, where home run splash hits into the bay have become a signature part of the franchise's identity. One of baseball's oldest and most storied clubs, the Giants have been home to legends like Willie Mays, Willie McCovey, and Barry Bonds. The orange-and-black colors are a fixture of Bay Area sports culture. San Francisco's ballpark is consistently rated among the most picturesque in the sport.

Founded in 1883 as the New York Gothams (soon renamed the Giants), the franchise won titles in New York in 1905, 1921, 1922, and 1933 before relocating to San Francisco in 1958. After a long championship drought following the move, the Giants won three titles in five years — 2010, 2012, and 2014 — behind Buster Posey, Madison Bumgarner, and a dominant pitching staff. Eight total championships make the Giants one of the most successful franchises in baseball history. The team also boasts one of the deepest Hall of Fame rosters in the sport.
