Celebration Following the Giants' Win

The City by the Bay, in San Francisco, was teeming with proud and routy fans after the Giants' first World Series win since 1958. Celebrations were prominent throughout the city, and the team took part in the town celebrations as well.

Wednesday's parade followed the same route up Montgomery and down Market to City Hall that the 1958 team's parade did, with Giants legend and Hall of Famer Willie Mays, who was there in 1958, and Mayor Gavin Newsom leading the way underneath an orange banner that said "World Series Champions" on one side and "Congratulations, Giants" on the other.Newsom presented Giants managing general partner Bill Neukom with the key to the city, declared it "San Francisco Giants Day" in San Francisco and kicked off an hour-long celebration for a team that mixed tremendous homegrown talent with a band of misfits to concoct a World Series team more than a half-century in the making.
