Bigtime Giants fan here! My father took me to my first game in 1960. What a team they had in the early 60s - Mays, McCovey, Cepeda, Marichal, Perry, Felipe and Matty Alou (though before Matty developed into a star), golden glove third baseman Jim Davenport, but were usually one good pitcher short of putting them in first place...and then in the mid-60s management began their series of what became signature disastrous trades. New management has made a few mistakes, but obviously more good deals made up for the bad ones, and they are committed to winning by bringing in players during the season who can fill in the gaps. So here they are, on top of the NL. Go Giants! Prediction on a winner? No prediction. The Angels are damn good. It's going to be very competitive.
