SAN FRANCISCO GIANTS HEAD FOR THE NL CHAMPIONSHIP SERIES

Image via Wikipedia.
It has been 8 years since the San Francisco Giants have been in the National League Championship. Cody Ross it a home run and drove in the go ahead run with a seventh-inning single, leading the San Francisco Giants to a  3 to 2 victory over the Atlanta Braves. Each game was decided by one run and  this made for a great series. If San Francisco can beat the Phillies it will be 21 years since the San Francisco Giants have been in the world series.


The last time was in 1989, it was the third game of that series. The San Francisco Giants were at home. They were warming up and all of a sudden the earth started shaking. It was the Loma Prieta earthquake that shook all of California. San Francisco Giants fans do you believe the San Francisco Giants can make it to the World Series? I don't know. I am not a fan of baseball, but I sure hope they do. Goooooooo Giants!
