GIVEAWAY CONTEST: Win a free copy of Giants: Past & Present!

The good folks at MVP Books were kind enough to send me a couple copies of Giants: Past & Present to give away to you guys.

All you have to do for a chance to win is comment with 1) your favorite Giant (past or present), and 2) why they are your favorite Giant. It doesn't need to be long at all -- a sentence or two works.


After two days, I'll choose two winners randomly and I'll announce them (you need to provide me with your mailing address [U.S. only] and I'll get the books sent to you.)


Book summary:

Giants Past & Present, a journey through Giants baseball history, vividly bringing to life the players and managers, the ballparks and uniforms, and the moments and lineups that have defined the franchise from decade to decade and from coast to coast. Today’s stars like Pablo Sandoval, Tim Lincecum, and Matt Cain are presented alongside all-time Giants heroes such as Christy Mathewson, Mel Ott, Juan Marichal, Willie Mays, and many more. In rich imagery and entertaining stories, Giants Past & Present brings a new spin to the history of this storied franchise. Pairing nearly 250 historic black-and-white images and contemporary photos, Giants Past & Present explores, compares, and contrasts the traditions that define Giants baseball.

I've read through Giants Past & Present, and it's great for those interested in learning about 125 years of Giants history. I'd recommend to all Giants fans as a nice addition to your collection (and it's a great coffee table book -- beautifully illustrated). Anyway, you can find it on Amazon here.
