A GRAND SLAMBy alain robertIf you are looking for a coffee table book filled with color pictures,this book is not for you.However,if you want to know about the team's turbulent sixty year history and those legendary CANDLESTICK stories that became a trademark of the city, this book will please you.There are also anecdotes about the team's early stars like MAYS,MARICHAL,CEPEDA and WILLIE THE STRETCHER McCOVEY.Well done from beginning to end.Any true baseball fan should enjoy.In case you don't remember,THE BEATLES's last concert was at CANDLESTICK in 1966.3 of 3 people found the following review helpful. Giant Fans Will Love This BookBy Dominic CarboniThe author did an outstanding job describing the Giant's move from New York to their present home. His story brought back fond memories of us teenagers sneaking into Seals to watch the new home team. He aptly described the dog days and horrid nights at and the struggle to get a new stadium for our home team. I highly recommend this book to all Giant fans and to anyone who loves the history of .1 of 1 people found the following review helpful.

In 1957 Horace Stoneham took his Giants of New York baseball team and headed west, starting a gold rush with bats and balls rather than pans and mines. But San Francisco already had a team, the Seals of the , and West Coast fans did not immediately embrace the newcomers. Starting with the franchisersquo;s earliest days and following the team up to recent glory, Home Team chronicles the story of the Giants and their often topsy-turvy relationship with the city of San Francisco. Robert F. Garratt shines light on those who worked behind the scenes in the story of West Coast baseball: the politicians, businessmen, and owners who were instrumental in the clubrsquo;s history.Home Team presents Stoneham, often left in the shadow of Dodgers owner Walter Orsquo;Malley, as a true baseball pioneer in his willingness to sign black and Latino players and his recruitment of the first Japanese player in the Major Leagues, making the Giants one of the most integrated teams in baseball in the early 1960s. Garratt also records the turbulent times, poor results, declining attendance, two near-moves away from , and the role of post-Stoneham owners and in the Giantsrsquo; eventual reemergence as a baseball powerhouse. Garrattrsquo;s superb history of this great ball club makes the Giantsrsquo; story one of the most compelling of all Major League franchises.
