Saltzman Says...1 Year Anniversary brings back memories

November 1, 2010.

1 year ago today the Giants won their first championship in San Francisco.  At 7:29pm, Brian Wilson struck out Nelson Cruz and the Giants beat the Texas Rangers 3-1.  Edgar Renteria's home run was the clincher and Tim Lincecum's 8 inning masterpiece gave the Giants a long awaited title.

Here's to the 25 men who forever changed Bay Area history with an unforgettable championship run.

Saltzman Says... To The 2010 San Francisco Giants

THANK YOU GIANTS!

Thank you for ending so many years of torture.  Thank you for giving me players to remember forever.  Thank you for not trading away your young talent for washed up veterans.  Thank you for finding the right washed up veterans.  Thank you for finding players that care more about winning than money.  Thank you for the parade.  Thank you for 2010, a year I will never forget.

Here is my pledge to the Giants for 2011:  Bring them all back
Aubrey Huff, Juan Uribe, Pat Burrell, Edgar Renteria, and Guillermo Mota were all big parts of our locker room and should be brought back.  Aaron Rowand might be grossly overpiad, but we would stay a better team with him in the locker room.  Same with Mark DeRosa.

I know it might not make good business decisions, but I want to cheer for these guys.  I want to cheer for the guys that won the 2010 World Series.

Saltzman Says... To The year I Turned 30

Will this be the most memorable year of my life?
  1. On January 9, the Cowboys hosted their first playoff game in Cowboys stadium, playing the Philadelphia Eagles. Dallas won 34-14, breaking their 13-year playoff drought.
  2. On July 24, I married the most beautiful woman in the world
  3. On November 1, The Giants won the World Series
I will never forget my wedding day.  It was the most amazing day of my life.  And yet, my boyhood team that I have rooted for since I was 7 and have loved my whole life won the World Series.  How amazing is it when what you wanted the most in your personal life and what you've wanted most as a sports fan happens in the same 14 week span?  Where do you go from there?

No matter what happens for the rest of my life, I have the woman I love by my side and the team I love has a ring.  As Danielle and I look to start a family in the future, I can look back at 2010 and smile.
