It was fifty years ago today.

New York Giants owner, Horace Stoneham, Jr., announced that the team would be moving west for the 1958 season and would henceforth be known as the San Francisco Giants.
Happy birthday, SF Giants!!

When I drove for SuperShuttle, one of the charters I got was to carry members of the 1958 team to a 40-year reunion at Candlestick. Having seven ball players of that era in my van was amazing. I just listened to them talk about the old days, still arguing over calls and plays.
So, since I'm in a nostaligic mood, shall we go Talking Baseball?
