\"BAGGARLY<\/a>
\nEXTRA BAGGS AT THE BERGINO CLUBHOUSE!!
\nOur 3rd meeting of the year (Trophy Tour, Jaime Rupert) will take place June 8 with Andrew Baggarly journalist, Jeopardy Champion, and author, who has covered the Giants since 2004. Andy has graciously agreed to speak to our group as the Giants come to town to play the Mets, June 9-11. Andy is the very talented Giants beat writer for the San Jose Mercury News. His twitter account is the 1st place Giants fans should go to when they need the latest on the Orange and Black. He is in my opinion, the best of all the Giants reporters and writers. Simply, he tells it like it is. Here is the link; this is must for serious Giants fans. https:\/\/twitter.com\/extrabaggs along with his website http:\/\/andrewbaggarly.com\/
\nAndy is the author of A Band of Misfits: Tales of the 2010 San Francisco Giants (2011) and Giant Splash: Bondsian Blasts, World Series Parades, and Other Thrilling Moments by the Bay (2015) Here is a blurb from Amazon about his newest book:
\n\u201cCelebrate the golden age of San Francisco Giants baseball with Giant Splash, a firsthand account by Giants beat reporter and best-selling author Andrew Baggarly. Since the team moved to the shores of McCovey Cove in 2000, Giants fans have been thrilled by iconic players, historic moments, and heroic performances\u2014not to mention three World Series championships. Giant Splash takes readers onto the field and inside the clubhouse for every unforgettable moment: Barry Bonds\u2019 record-setting home runs, Tim Lincecum\u2019s no-hitter, Matt Cain\u2019s perfect game, Travis Ishikawa\u2019s walk-off pennant winner, and many more.\u201d
\nThis will be a can\u2019t miss event, especially for the majority of us who have remained Giants fans despite the fact that they moved 3,000 miles away, 57 years ago!!
\nI expect this to be a packed house at the Bergino Baseball Clubhouse http:\/\/www.bergino.com\/
\nRSVP as soon as possible and please indicate if you would like to purchase either book, or one or the other. Andy will be happy to sign your book. I met Andy at CitiField and he was nice enough to sign my Band of Misfits book, which is a fabulous read!!
\nLooking forward to seeing many of you on the 8th, we are looking at 6, or 6:30 starting time. I will advise when I\u2019m sure.-Gary<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
