World Series Parade.

This past weekend the San Francisco Giants won the baseball World Series, which is huge! (in American sporting terms, anyway.)

They defeated the Detroit Tigers 4-0 in a series of seven games - which meant the chant for the series  was 'CLEAN SWEEP,  CLEAN SWEEP, CLEEEEAN SWEEEEEEEP'!

In celebration, there was a parade through the streets of the city.

The parade began at the Embarcadero and travelled the two miles along Market Street, ending at Civic Center.
Though we didn't get to see much of the actual parade, we were able to get a good spot right outside City Hall to see the presentation of the trophy.

People everywhere!

 

City Hall.

 

My Giant (get it?!) buddies Edwin and Andy.

A huge podium had been set up, and all of the players were introduced, including my favourites Buster Posey and Pablo Sandoval (ie. the only two I know the names of).
It was quite amazing to see the entire city turned black and orange, and not just because of Halloween!
Go Giants!
