Legend has it that Babe Ruth called his shot. He stepped out of the batters box, pointed to an area beyond the centerfield wall and promptly hit the ball over the wall right into the pages of baseball history and lore.
Fast forward to the 21st century and you would be hard-pressed to produce written documentation by any professional pre-season prognosticator who predicted that the San Francisco Giants would win the 2010 World Series.

Wow! Awesome called shot, Suzanne!
What an excellent day for a parade.
Wow, Jason, still riding the GIANTS happy wave….and you just sent me over the top. If I’d picked Renteria instead of the Panda, I’d really be somethin’, huh?!! Fantastic to watch all the joy in SF.
