The Giants moved from cold, windy Candlestick Park to a privately-financed waterfront jewel. Opening day featured a Barry Bonds home run.
Barry Bonds hit 73 home runs — the all-time single-season record. Number 71, off Wilfredo Rodriguez, was a moonshot into McCovey Cove.
The Giants won their first World Series since moving from New York in 1958, beating the Rangers in five games. Edgar Renteria was MVP.
Behind Pablo Sandoval's three-homer Game 1 and Marco Scutaro's NLCS heroics, the Giants swept Detroit for title number two.
Madison Bumgarner threw a Game 7 five-inning relief shutout in Kansas City to seal the Giants' third title in five years. Travis Ishikawa's walk-off had punched their ticket.
