The Giants celebrated their Hispanic heritage today with Fiesta Gigantes, a pregame party that took place in O’Doul Plaza.  There was live music and Orlando Cepeda dropped by with Spanish broadcasters Erwin Higueros and Tito Fuentes.  During a pregame ceremony, Javier Lopez was presented with the Jose Uribe Sportsmanship Award from the Hispanic Heritage Baseball Museum and Hall of Fame.  The team also played today’s game, a 2-3 loss to the LA Dodgers, in Gigantes jerseys.

View Level Timeline – Part 3

In 2008, to celebrate our 50th anniversary in San Francisco  we installed a timeline on the View Level at the ballpark which highlighted some of our great players and amazing moments.  We know that all of our fans are not able to come to a game at the park, or those who do may not be old enough to remember some of our alumni.  For this road trip we decided to showcase the timeline and give everyone a bit more information about the moments.  Our SF Hall of Famers leading up to the Roger Craig era is our focus today.
