My favorite Giants team - I still can't believe we didn't beat STL that year. This team should have won the world series. Hmmm Baby! I really liked Gary Park - he was so into the Giants - I loved it! Announcer Steve Physioc had a funny call at the end: "A little looper....back to the wall". That was one heck of a little looper...nearly an HR. LOL.

@giantlew Yeah wasn't a big fan of Gary Park. Steve Physioc however was ok. I really don't know how the Giants lost to that team. Payback in 02' was nice even though the Giants didn't seal the deal.

I remember Gary Park got fired because of Will Clarks antics.

@SFFOOL76 Gary Park got fired because he was not well liked...guy was a tool.

"A little looper.." Ball was hit to the fucking warning track.

"Here's Will Clark."

"WE DID IT, YOU'RE GODDAMN RIGHT WOOOOOOOOOO HOO!!! REBEL YELL!!!!"

"You're overmodulating."

"HUH YANKEE? NO WAY! NO WAY! BEEN WAITIN' A LONG TIIIIMMME FOR THIS! WOOOOOOOOOOO!!!"

Classic.

It was 16 years since they won the NL west in 71, longest post season drought in SF

This is awesome. Thank you for posting this. I could name almost all the players walking into the clubhouse.

@FrsBigeasy yeah, that's why the Cards beat them in 7 games.

@SFFOOL76 The late Gary Park didn't get fired. He retired.

Man...that game 6 loss to St. louis was a heartbreaker at 1-0. Dave Dravecky pitched his heart out that series. I'm not sure if we would've beaten the Twins in the WS that year or not but I sure would've liked to have a chance to watch those games happen. Game 6 of the WS in 2002..another crushing loss...Tonight... game 5 with Timmy vs. Doc H at home in the Bay. Let's not let this series go 6...much less 7. Humm Baby...let's do it again.

I remember watching this celebration in my room on a school night.

Despite breaking my heart by not scoring a run in games 6 or 7 in St. Louis, the 87 Giants are still my favorite team of all time.

I went to all 3 playoff games at the stick against St. Louis.

I still will have a nightmare on occassion of Maldonado's ill-fated slide attempt that led to a 3 bagger, and the only run in the 1-0 loss of game 6.

And why did Atlee start game 7??
