As San Francisco Giants fans, there is nothing more important than hope. Hope is what kept people coming out to Candlestick in the windswept July evenings. And hope is what made us all believe that the line drive to Bobby Richardson was our only chance.
The hardest thing to do is stay consistent. Other teams trying to mimic what you do as a franchise, and in modern professional sports, the business side always plays a role. But the Giants have managed to stay relevant through it all, and that is why we can hope.
Some clubs seem to rebuild every three years.
