MLB, Barry Zito, Matt Cain, Marco Scutaro, San Francisco Giants, Sergio Romo, World Series Parade, Giants parade
A few highlights:
- Yes, Sergio Romo is wearing a shirt that says, "I just look illegal"
- The San Francisco 49ers helped out, driving some of the convertibles that the players sat on. Jim Harbaugh drove Brandon Belt and Alex Smith drove Matt Cain.
- Brian Wilson made an appearance, on a cable car.
- The players were on convertibles, so no one could see them outside of the first row.
- The parade was dragged out with every sponsor and seemingly ever rich ticket holder floating by before the team.
That last one is the Giants' broadcast team (Kruk, Kuip, Miller and Flemming).

I tired two years ago but couldn't even get into the City it was so crowded. This year I was thinking of trying again thinking the 2nd time around wouldn't be as big... Turns out even LARGER crowds were expected so I just didn't even try.
You didn't miss too much, I promise! Those were the best pics I could get, and that was with my iPhone vaulted above my head.

That's kind of cheating the... Lucky you.

I got there right around 11 when it kicked off. I work just 2 blocks away from Market Street though.

One more thing... Don't be too hard on the sponsors getting floats in the parade. They are footing the bill for nearly all the costs of that party...

How early did you get there?
