Whereas the Texas Rangers demonstrated great skill and 

sportsmanship in reaching their first World Series in 

franchise history; 

Whereas the Giants acted with determination and teamwork 

as they emerged victorious from the fiercely contested 

National League Western Division; 

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 a Sports Illustrated article noted ‘‘Not only did the 

Giants give their fans a winner, they also gave them an 

unforgettable one, one with a Playbill’s worth of characters who exuded joy and thankfulness about what was 

happening.’’; 

Whereas the rest of the country learned to ‘‘fear the beard’’; 

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, President 

Larry Baer, 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; 

Whereas the San Francisco community united in support behind their team and turned out in massive numbers to 

celebrate their victory in what city officials believed was 

the ‘‘largest parade and civic event turnout in the city’s 

history’’; and 

Whereas Giants’ fans who have been ever loyal, supporting 

the team from China Basin to Coogan’s Bluff, can once 

again call their baseball team world champions: Now, 

therefore, be it 

1 Resolved, That the House of Representatives— 

2 (1) congratulates the San Francisco Giants on 

3 winning the 2010 World Series Championship; and 

4 (2) commends the fans in California, across the 

5 country, and around the world for their unremitting 

6 support of the Giants.
