Whereas, during the National League playoffs, the Giants 

unleashed their arsenal of overpowering starting pitching, 

unflappable relief pitching, steady defense, and timely 

hitting to defeat the Atlanta Braves and the two-time defending National League champions, the Philadelphia 

Phillies, en route to capturing their first pennant since 

2002; 

Whereas, although there is no one superstar on the roster, 

the Giants are a group of self-described ‘‘castoffs and 

misfits’’ that truly exemplify what it means to be a team; 

Whereas all 25 players on the playoff roster should be congratulated, including World Series Most Valuable Player 

Edgar Renteria, as well as, Jeremy Affeldt, Madison 

Bumgarner, Matt Cain, Santiago Casilla, Tim Lincecum, 

Javier Lopez, Guillermo Mota, Ramon Ramirez, Sergio 

Romo, Jonathan Sanchez, Brian Wilson, Buster Posey, 

Eli Whiteside, Mike Fontenot, Aubrey Huff, Travis 

Ishikawa, Freddy Sanchez, Pablo Sandoval, Juan Uribe, 

Pat Burrell, Cody Ross, Aaron Rowand, Nate 

Schierholtz, and Andres Torres; 

Whereas Managing General Partner Bill Neukom, General 

Manager Brian Sabean and Manager Bruce Bochy did a 

tremendous job putting together the 2010 San Francisco 

Giants team and guiding them to the 2010 World Series; 

Whereas San Francisco is a city with a rich baseball tradition 

where players such as Willie Mays, Willie McCovey, Orlando Cepeda, Juan Marichal, Gaylord Perry, and Joe 

DiMaggio have displayed the prodigious skills that would 

eventually take them to the National Baseball Hall of 

Fame in Cooperstown, New York; and
