Eli Manning, Matt Chapman Among NFL, MLB Stars to Honor Radio Call With Giants Dinner

The New York Giants and San Francisco Giants paid homage to a famous troll call on The Mike Francesa Show by staging a meetup, which included Eli Manning, Matt Chapman, Logan Webb and Shaun O'Hara.

A decade ago, "Dan in Warwick" called into Francesca and asked if the two Giants franchises ever got together when the baseball team was in New York. Now, we have our answer:

Francesa was befuddled by "Dan in Warwick's" question initially, wondering what the two franchises had in common besides their name. But he quickly pivoted to joking that they hold a "Giant picnic" in Totowa, New Jersey, followed by the "Giant relay race" and "Giant raffle" and close out the festivities with a "Giant breakfast."

"It's a July weekend, every year, when it happens," he joked, before adding that the Texas Rangers and New York Rangers do the same thing in Abilene, Texas, every August.

The two Giants franchises actually getting together, then, is a pretty hilarious homage to a famous radio call, and quite the commitment to the bit. It just so happens that the Giants were in New York this past weekend, facing the Mets, making it the perfect time for such an elaborate joke.
