This weekend will be a series of goodbyes. The Giants will formally say goodbye to Barry Bonds’ #25 jersey number, there are rumors that this could be Andrew McCutchen’s final series with the Giants, and there’s a very good chance that this will be the final weekend of the Giants having nonzero odds of making the playoffs.
Not only is this a season-defining series, these next 4-game series against the Pirates will feature a quartet of special events: Thursday is Jerry Garcia Tribute Night, Friday has both a National Baseball Card giveaway for the first 40,000 fans and the Barry Bonds Forever Giant statuette.
