This year marks a half century since the New York Giants abandoned the old Polo Field and relocated here in San Francisco, at first to a tiny, inner-city field just a few blocks from here in the Mission District.
Later they moved to a windy stadium at Candlestick Point.
Then, they got a new home in China Basin in one of the most beautiful baseball parks imaginable.
This year, the franchise celebrates 50 years in the city by the Bay. In all of that time, however, the San Francisco Giants have never won a "world" championship. They came closest in 2002, but fell short.
No one in baseball thinks they can even finish better than last place in their division in 2008, exactly where they ended up last year.
Two words: Barry Bonds.
