Best Images from SF Giants 2012 World Series Parade
The San Francisco Giants faithful came out in force on Halloween Wednesday to celebrate the team's second World Series championship in three years, and the seventh in franchise history.
A little bit of rain never hurt anybody.
Giants paraphernalia, floats, speeches from your favorite players—if you are a Giants fan, what could be better than this?
Well, it depends. The guy on the right looks like he really doesn't see the big deal of it all, and the guy on the left is a dead ringer for Mike Bibby.
At any rate, take a look at the best pictures snagged from the celebration.
Look at All the Orange Stuff

Irritated, Frustrated or Happy
6 of 20There are a few things that could explain why the guy with the broom is screaming:
- Someone could be pushing in line (I hate when that happens).
- He could be the father of the kid with the Giants logo cut in the back of his head.
- He could just be ecstatic that his Giants just swept the Detroit Tigers in the World Series.
It's probably option No. 3.
Bochy Approved
7 of 20Does two World Series championships in three years makes Bruce Bochy a baseball legend? I'll give that a thumbs up.
That's a Huge Crowd
