Although Cliff Lee pitched an excellent game, it was Edgar Renteria’s home run which sent the San Francisco Giants on to win the game 3-1, and the World Series 4-1 Late Monday night over the Texas Rangers. This World Series victory is their first since 1954 when they played in New York.

“I didn’t forget that we were playing a great offensive team like Texas. That’s why I told my teammates, ‘Keep playing,’ because we know they can tie the game right away,” said Renteria after the game.

Fans wanting to congratulate their team can do so at the 2010 World Series parade which will be held on Wednesday at 11 AM local time. It will begin at the corner of Montgomery Street and Washington Street, which is the Mayor’s office, and head South. It will then head West at City Hall, down Market Street. All fans are invited by the city to take part in the celebration, free of charge. San Francisco city officials urge fans to arrive early because parking is limited, and there should be tens of thousands of people on the parade’s route. Overall the Giants have won 6 World Series as a franchise, but this is the first in San Francisco, as the other 5 were in New York prior to 1955.
