Giants Week Memories

Here are just a few pictures of various Giants Week followers. They're happy people!

Upcoming Giants Week Schedule

With the season starting next week, I'd just like to give a preview if the upcoming schedule:

Monday, April 6th: No game played today, but in light of it being the holiday season, Giants Week will begin nonetheless. Wear Giants clothing

Tuesday, April 7th: OPENING DAY!! The Giants take the field behind their ace and Cy Young Winner, Tim Lincecum (seen below) as they face the Milwaukee Brewers at AT&T Park. The first pitch will be thrown out at 2:05 pm MDT. Wear Giants clothing.

Wednesday, April 8th: Game 2 against the Brewers, 8:15 pm MDT start. Wear Giants clothing.

Thursday, April 9th: Game 3 against the Brewers, 5:05 pm MDT start. Wear Giants clothing.

Friday: April 10th: The Giants travel to sunny San Diego to open a three-game series against their division rivals, the Padres. Opening pitch will be thrown at 8:05 pm MDT. Wear Giants clothing.

Those celebrating the holidays in Provo, Utah, might want to be prepared because of winter storm advisories for the week. Wait, that doesn't matter...it's Giants Week!

Oh, the Holidays

What a special time of year this is when we get to celebrate our most treasured season. I understand how popular this holiday is, but let me take a minute to explain my love of San Francisco Giants Week. Every opening week of the Major League Baseball season, people all throughout the world (ie. Provo, Utah) take a chance and express their love of the San Francisco Giants, America's baseball team. All throughout the week, the world becomes a sea of black and orange as devoted fans wear their team's colors. Come rain, snow or shine, people bear the weather and can be found in t-shirts despite 80% chance of inclement weather. I wish you all the best this holiday season as we take time out of our busy schedules and remember what really is important.
