San Francisco Giants: A Fan's Journal 2010, 2012, 2014

After the Giants moved from New York to San Francisco in 1958, it took them 53 years to win their first World Series in 2010. Incredible. Their next title came in 2012. Miraculous. Then, in 2014, they became world champions again. Magical. It’s very rare in professional baseball, or any other professional sport, for a team to win three titles in such a short span of time. Drawn from his personal journal, Joseph Sutton has combined all three of the Giants’ World Series seasons into this one book. His unique observations will bring back a flood of memories for Giants fans, both young and old, on how the Giants, underdogs each year, reached the pinnacle of the baseball world three times in five years. What makes this book truly distinct is that it’s interwoven with the story of how baseball has influenced Sutton’s relationship with his son Ray, from the time Ray was a Little Leaguer through high school. It shows how the game of baseball, ever since its very beginnings, has cemented relationships between fathers and sons, and some daughters, too.
