It was exactly one year ago today that 52 years of pain, agony, sorrow, wonder, disbelief, misfortune, bad taste, heartbreak, hardship, denial, anticipation, and hope were all erased by a single call:
"Cruz waiting on Wilson. And the right hander for the Giants throws...SWING AND A MISS! AND THAT'S IT! The Giants... for the first time in 52 years, the Giants are world champions, as they come POURING OUT OF THE DUGOUT....circling Brian Wilson! The bullpen...flying in from left-center field...dancing, hugging....and you can't help but think, that this group is celebrating....for the Say Hey kid, for Will The Thrill, celebrating for number 25, and celebrating for all you Giants fans, wherever you are... Giants fans...this party is just getting started!"
This call will forever be etched in all of us Giants fans memory. The raw emotion that poured out of the souls of a nation; a loyal fan base that for many years had patiently waited for there turn, but as U2 would put it, "..still haven't found, what were looking for." This day, November 1st, 2010, we finally found what we were looking for.
Giants Nation for 52 years had once hoped that this day would come, and when it finally did, it was as every bite fulfilling as we had hoped. Morgan Freeman once said, a quote that will undoubtedly be stamped on my headpiece when I finally decide to take the drive six feet under, he said "hope is a good thing; maybe even the best of things. And no good thing ever dies." He was right. Hope is a good thing. Hope is the best of things. And the Giants winning the World Series is a good thing that should never die. Let's celebrate this day Giants nation. We earned it!
