San Francisco Giants Tickets

Formed in the late 19th century, the San Francisco Giants tickets save seats for one of the oldest teams in Major League Baseball. They joined the National League as The Gothams in 1883. Not surprisingly, given their long lifespan, the Giants have won the most games of any team in the history of organized sports. As if that is not impressive enough, the Giants also have the most Hall of Fame members.

While Bonds achievements remain mired in controversy, some Giants fans may prefer to look back to the 1950s and the two great moments in baseball history of which the Giants were a part. First is the Shot Heard Round the World. The shot being referred to is the walk-off home run Dodgers pitcher Ralph Branca gave up to Giants outfielder Bobby Thomson. That home run, hit on October 3, 1951, clinched the National League pennant for the Giants.

The other heralded moment is known simply as The Catch. The Catch is a legendary defensive play made by Willie Mays during Game 1 of the 1954 World Series. The Giants were facing off against the Cleveland Indians with a tie score of 2-2 at the top of the eight inning. Indian Vic Wertz crushed a ball straight to centerfield. Had Mays not made his famous over-the-shoulder catch, Wertz likely would have gotten a home run, making the score 5-2.

Currently the San Francisco Giants tickets are distributed by an organization led by Barry Zito, Edgar Renteria and Tim Lincecum. Tim Lincecum, the 2008 National League Cy Young Award Winner, is only in his third season. Barry Zito, a three time All-Star, was the 2002 American League Cy Young Award winner.

The San Francisco Giants were originally the New York giants, not to be confused with current NFL team of the same name. When the team was first formed, the Giants played at the Polo Grounds in New York until the end of the 1957 season. It was then that they packed up and moved to the San Francisco. In their first two seasons in San Francisco, the Giants played at Seals Stadium. In 1960, the Giants moved to Candlestick Park which overlooked the San Francisco Bay. The Stick, as it was often referred to, was known for its strong winds and cool temperatures.

The San Francisco Giants tickets are on sale at their current home at AT&T park. The park seats about 40,800 fans, and high-speed Wi-Fi is available through out the park. Sometimes San Francisco Giants tickets sell out because the team is so loved. McCovey Cove serves as the backdrop to the right field wall and the most prominent feature of this renowned ballpark. Many saw Barry Bonds break historic home run records at this park, as well as blast many balls out of the park and into the Cove.
