It was the moment generations of San Francisco Giants fans had longed for since the team moved west in 1958. When the 2010 Giants defeated the Texas Rangers to win the City s first ever World Series, decades of pent-up frustration erupted into pure elation and the afterglow is still shining bright. The road to that singular achievement is captured in all its glory in Worth the Wait, the Giants one and only official 2010 season and World Series commemorative book.
All-Star closer Brian Wilson provides his truly unique perspective in the Foreword, and fan favorite broadcasters Mike Krukow and Duane Kuiper contribute the Introduction. With a narrative written by popular KNBR sports radio personality Brian Murphy, author of San Francisco Giants: 50 Years, and images by acclaimed Major League Baseball and Sports Illustrated photographer Brad Mangin, along with contributions from Giants team and other Bay Area photographers, Worth the Wait chronicles a season that was as magical as it was unexpected. From Spring Training to the stretch run through the playoffs and the World Series, all capped off by the epic ticker-tape parade, this treasury of exclusive photos and stories transports Giants fans inside the action and behind the scenes, including on the team plane with the World Series champions and their coveted trophy on the jubilant flight home.
Worth the Wait is the ultimate keepsake and a must-have collectible for fans of all ages wishing to relive the greatest and most surprising, satisfying and unforgettable season in Giants history.
