                               RESOLUTION


 
   Congratulating the San Francisco Giants on winning the 2010 World 
                          Series Championship.

Whereas, on November 1, 2010, the San Francisco Giants defeated the Texas 
        Rangers by a score of 3-1 in game 5 to win the 2010 World Series and 
        become champions of Major League Baseball;
Whereas this is the first championship the San Francisco Giants have won since 
        the Giants came to San Francisco from New York in 1958;
Whereas this is the sixth World Series title in the history of the Giants 
        franchise;
Whereas the 2010 Giants acted with determination and teamwork as they emerged 
        victorious from the fiercely contested National League Western Division;
Whereas, during the National League playoffs, the Giants unleashed their arsenal 
        of overpowering starting pitching, unflappable relief pitching, steady 
        defense, and timely hitting to defeat the Atlanta Braves and the two-
        time defending National League champions, the Philadelphia Phillies, en 
        route to capturing their first pennant since 2002;
Whereas, although there is no one superstar on the roster, the Giants are a 
        group of self-described ``castoffs and misfits'' that truly exemplify 
        what it means to be a team;
Whereas all 25 players on the playoff roster should be congratulated, including 
        World Series Most Valuable Player Edgar Renteria, as well as, Jeremy 
        Affeldt, Madison Bumgarner, Matt Cain, Santiago Casilla, Tim Lincecum, 
        Javier Lopez, Guillermo Mota, Ramon Ramirez, Sergio Romo, Jonathan 
        Sanchez, Brian Wilson, Buster Posey, Eli Whiteside, Mike Fontenot, 
        Aubrey Huff, Travis Ishikawa, Freddy Sanchez, Pablo Sandoval, Juan 
        Uribe, Pat Burrell, Cody Ross, Aaron Rowand, Nate Schierholtz, and 
        Andres Torres;
Whereas Managing General Partner Bill Neukom, General Manager Brian Sabean and 
        Manager Bruce Bochy did a tremendous job putting together the 2010 San 
        Francisco Giants team and guiding them to the 2010 World Series;
Whereas San Francisco is a city with a rich baseball tradition where players 
        such as Willie Mays, Willie McCovey, Orlando Cepeda, Juan Marichal, 
        Gaylord Perry, and Joe DiMaggio have displayed the prodigious skills 
        that would eventually take them to the National Baseball Hall of Fame in 
        Cooperstown, New York; and
Whereas Giants fans who have been ever loyal, supporting the team from China 
        Basin to Coogan's Bluff, can once again call their baseball team world 
        champions: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the Senate--
            (1) congratulates the San Francisco Giants on winning the 
        2010 World Series Championship; and
            (2) commends the fans in California, across the country, 
        and around the world for their unremitting support of the 
        Giants.
                                 <all>
