The first National League franchise to be featured in the new,
exciting, and completely original Sports by the Numbers series THE
TEAM: The Giants franchise is the winningest in professional
baseball history, having won more regular season games than the
Cubs, Yankees, Dodgers, or Red Sox. The Giants have been to the
World Series 18 times and claimed six championships during
baseball's modern era-and the success of this franchise has been
built on legends, as the club also boasts more Hall of Fame players
than any other in the sport. THE FORMAT: The presentation created
by the authors distinguishes Sports by the Numbers from everything
else available today. San Francisco Giants is composed of ten
chapters, each offering one hundred numbered "mini-stories"-facts,
anomalies, records, coincidences, and enthralling lore and trivia
from Hall of Fame legends such as Willie Mays, Mel Ott, and Bill
Terry, to contemporary stars such as Tim Lincecum, Matt Cain, and
Buster Posey. Each chapter begins with an introduction that
highlights the many exciting stories found in these pages such as
the "Shot Heard 'Round the World," Mays' catch in the 1954 World
Series, Barry Bonds' pursuit of Hank Aaron, and rivalry games
against the hated Dodgers. Sports by the Numbers books are not just
for diehard sports fans, but for every fan and sports history
reader who loves sports and wants to know more about their heroes
and favorite teams.
