Almost forgot about today's Giants game vs the #Yankees.

The Giants currently lead 8-1 in the bottom of the 5th but I was able to rewind the game to the top of the 1st when Lee hit a 3run HR!!!

Watching the game starting there

Go Giants!!! 🎉🎉🎉

Have any #baseball fans out there read Bill "Spaceman" Lee's memoir The Wrong Stuff? I'm only a chapter in, but my oh my its quotability is off the charts. (I doubt most of the stories ever happened. But that's not the point!)

As someone who mostly posts quotations or #RedSox related things, this book means my account could get a lot busier this weekend. You've been warned...

Here's a link to a webpage that depicts the changes in the Giants' uniforms over time, which did indeed use purple on occasion & even looked like #Yankee pinstripes & #Mets uniforms at various points in time.

The Giants used orange/black in its unis in 1933-35 but didn't fully commit to this color scheme until 1947.

The Giants came back from being down 6-1 in the top of the 6th to rally to score 4 runs in the bottom of the 6th to make the score 6-5, tie the game at 6-6 on a solo HR by Flores in the bottom of the 8th and win 6-8 on a splash, walk-off HR by Yaz in the bottom of the 10th to avoid being swept by the Reds & to save Verlander again from taking a loss.

Both the #Padres (10-3) & the #Dodgers (10-4) were off today. So, this win puts the Giants at 9-3 & keeps them in 2nd place in the NL West 1/2 game behind the Padres & 1/2 game ahead of the Dodgers. A really tight race so far.

But, after a day off, the Giants have to go on a very difficult 10 game road trip with 3 games vs the Yankees (7-5), 4 vs the Phillies (7-3) & 3 vs the Angels (7-3) before they return home.

Go Giants!!! 🥳🥳🥳
