Team

Official San Francisco Giants Website
Anything you need to know about the team you can find here.
I have to saythat the site was much better before MLB took it over.
It's sometimes slow to load & navigate.

Valerie's SF Giants Fan Page
The best unofficial source for Giants info;
features include boxscores, stats, wallpaper, photos,
links, interviews, and more. A great site, and updated regularly

The Double Play Tandem's
San Francisco Giants

A fantastic site, with lots pictures, transcripts, roster, and schedule.
Constantly updated
The enthusiam that Celeste and Michelle, the page owners, have for the Giants is obvious.

EEEEEE! A Newsletter By and For Annoyed Giants Fans
A site with many thoughtful articles about the team by some long-suffering Giants fans.
In the words of the page's creator, "We love the Giants fiercely and intensely,
and because this love for the team is so fierce and intense,
we can't help criticizing it in as many ways as possible."

Out to the Ballgame
Jmar's page offers some very well written essays on various Giants-related topics.
There are also several photo galleries.

McCovey Cove.com
An unofficial fanpage for the now-famous body of water behind Pac Bell Park
You can find a list of Splash Hits, info about the Portuguese water dogs,
Pac Bell Park fun facts, and more cool McCovey Cove info

San Francisco Giants at Baseball Reference.com
A great place to find historical info about the team--
rosters, stats, and other info from the present back to 1883,
when the SF Giants were the NY Gothams

The Giants Journal
A nice site with links to the latest team news and well-written commentary

SF Giants Fans Beyond the Bay
Polls, commentary, and a chat area
There's also a nice slideshow of team pictures
and some Candlestick Park history

San Francisco Seals Page
An informative site about San Francisco's first pro-baseball team;
lots of info about the Pacific Coast League, the SF-Oakland rivalry,
and the famous players that started out on the team

Alt.Sports.Baseball.SF-Giants
Where the long-suffering, smartest, most die-hard Giants fans hang out.
The people here can toss out stats off the top of their heads, nitpick the current lineup,
and discuss the merits and shortcomings of an obscure Giants 2nd baseman from 20 years ago.

KNBR 680, The Sports Leader
The Giants' flagship radio station;
game highlights, the Jeff Kent, Mike Krukow, and Brian Sabean shows.

Bayinsiders/KTVU, Giants flagship TV station
Some general info about the team,
including the television schedule, scores, stats, and links to AP articles;
features a message board

Players

JT Snow Online
The biggest source of JT Snow media
TONS of photos and screen captures, news articles, message board;
constantly updated

Barry Bonds Central
Not only is Barry Bonds Central a good-looking site,
it also has lots of information about the future Hall-of-Famer.
Very comprehensive: stats, quotes, pictures,
wallpapers, and wonderful banners/collages. Beware of all the pop-up ads, however.

Jen's Bill Mueller Page
The first Bill Mueller webpage; you can find transcripts of Billy's early interviews,
along with pictures of the team taken by Jen
But the best (IMHO) feature of the site is her Giants Memories section,
where fans are invited to share their unforgettable Giants moments and stories.

Steph's Bill Mueller and Shawn Estes Fan Page
Offers 2 huge lists of news article links for both players, dating back to `97;
Also contains lots of pictures of the team at games and On-Field Photo Days.

Russ Ortiz Fanpage
The only page I know of that's dedicated to Ortiz.
A small site with some photos and links

The Snowman Cometh
"A pictorial website devoted exclusively
to the San Francisco Giants' multiple Gold-Glove winning first baseman
and overall hunka-hunka-burnin' love, JT Snow."

Sarah's JT Snow Page
A simple page, but full of info about the first baseman,
including his days on the Angels:
links, articles, stats, photos, trivia

Bar-ry, Bar-ry, Bar-ry
A thorough and informative site: bio, stats, articles, links, photos;
last update seems to have been in `98

My Favorite Giants-- tribute to Bill Mueller and Kirk Rueter
Self-explanatory title; No too much content and hasn't been updated,
but has a cute little animation of Reuter pitching

Robb Nen Fan Page
"The first unofficial homepage dedicated to Robb Nen"
Has lots of links to other Robb Nen sites;
doesn't look like it's been updated in a while

A wonderful site about the Say Hey Kid;
features include an interview, pictures from Willie May's own collection, a profile, and bio

Viva Cepeda!
A nice tribute to the Baby Bull

Baseball

The Exploratorium's Baseball Page
This is an awesome site! Learn the science behind baseball;
find out your reaction time to a fastball, how to hit a homer as opposed to a pop fly,
how to throw a curveball, and lots of other cool stuff

Baseball: the Game and Beyond
A sort of "behind-the-scenes" looks at the different aspacts of the game
like broadcasting, the physics of hitting a baseball, how to calculate stats, umpiring, and more

Compare your salary to A-Rod's!
Before the 2001 season, Alex Rodriguez signed a 10-year, $252 million dollar contract with the Texas Rangers.
This site calculates how long it would take A-Rod to earn your salary.
(Hint: it won't take hime very long)
A silly and depressing site at the same time.
