Major League Baseball 2010 season

2010 Season Major League Baseball Who will win the Central Division?

Okay, so basically there’s been plenty of talk about who will  win the Central Division of Major League Baseball … Cardinals, Cubs, Brewers, or? I am a diehard Cubs fan, so I wonder if they have an opportunity yet?

Sorry man, the Cardinals. I the Chicago Cubs and Cards go to battle most of the season, but if you look at the card rotation (Wainwright, Carpenter, Penny, Lohse), which is a very good four. Not only that, but cards have a good offense too. I think the Cubs have a decent year, but I do not think we will win the Central.

San Francisco Giants

The San Francisco Giants are a Major League Baseball (MLB) team based in San Francisco, California, playing in the National League West Division.

The Giants are the current Major League Baseball World Series champions, having defeated the Texas Rangers in the 2010 World Series by four games to one. As one of the oldest baseball teams, they have won the most games of any team in the history of American baseball, and any North American professional sports team.  They have won 21 National League pennants and appeared in 18 World Series competitions – both records in the National League (tied for both with the Los Angeles Dodgers). The Giants 6 World Series Championships are also tied for second in the National League with the Dodgers (the St. Louis Cardinals have won 10). The Giants have played in the World Series an NL record 18 times, but boycotted the event in 1904. With their history, the Giants have the most Hall of Fame players in all of professional baseball. 

The Giants played at the Polo Grounds in Manhattan, New York, until the close of the 1957 season, after which they moved west to California to become the San Francisco Giants. As the New York Giants, they won 14 pennants and 5 Major League Baseball World Championships, from the era of John McGraw and Christy Mathewson to that of Bobby Thomson and Willie Mays. The Giants have won four pennants and the 2010 World Series since arriving in San Francisco.

The Giants began as the second baseball club founded by millionaire tobacconist John B. Day and veteran amateur baseball player Jim Mutrie. The Gothams, as the Giants were originally known, entered the Major League Baseball National League in 1883, while their other club, the Metropolitans (the original Mets) played in the American Association. Nearly half of the original Gotham players were members of the disbanded Troy Trojans, whose place in the National League the Gothams inherited. While the Metropolitans were initially the more successful club, Day and Mutrie began moving star players to the Gothams and the team won its first National League pennant in 1888, as well as a victory over the St. Louis Browns in an early incarnation of the Major League Baseball World Series. They repeated as champions the next year with a pennant and World Series victory over the Brooklyn Bridegrooms.

It is said that after one particularly satisfying victory over the Philadelphia Phillies, Mutrie (who was also the team’s manager) stormed into the dressing room and exclaimed, “My big fellows! My giants!” From then on, the club was known as the Giants.
