Forever a Giant

Editor’s Note: Sometimes (most of the time) professional sports franchises don’t care. They’re for-profit corporations. Their job is to put as many of us — millions of us — in the stands as they can. Other times …well, other times — they do care.

Dear Ms. Hastings,

May 25, 2013 will always be a day I remember and one of the best in my life as a Giants fan. You may recall it was the day the Giants were locking horns at home with Colorado. Zito gave up a four-spot early. Boch was ejected in the eighth. And the Rockies’ Tulowitzki went yard in the 10th for the go-ahead run.

And then, in the bottom of that inning, an Angel came up to the plate and hit a historic two-run walk-off inside-the-park…
