SF Giants 2012 World Series: A Retrospective

The San Francisco Giants won the World Series for the second time in three years the night of October 28, 2012. The Giants swept the Detroit Tigers, winning all four games against them. Game 4 went into the 10th inning, and the Giants won 4-3 in Detroit. What happened after the win in San Francisco was described by some media outlets as a "riot" in the streets of San Francisco. Below are Joe Sciarrillo's photos from that night and from the 2012 World Series Parade appearing in the photobook Bay Area Underground. Giants fans celebrate in front of San Francisco City Hall as soon as the Giants win.
