It's like early April. I think varying dates maybe depending what version/console. I get it each year but extra hyped this year cuz I have ps5 now so 4k baseball

Recently completed my Giants "championship era lineup" collection of game worn jerseys. Blanco was the hardest to find. All are HR jerseys aside from the Sandoval.



edit: post 40,000!

Pretty cool, I must say. I remember you having a difficult time getting the 3rd outfielder.

Maybe next you should get a "Core 4" jersey collection - that might also be hard to complete, though.

Thanks! That's actually my next project. I have a Casilla, but need the other 3. My Casilla is from the game when he had to hit and tore his hamstring running up the 1B line after they specifically told him not to even swing. lol

Eventually I want all the players with 3 rings. Posey, Bum, Cain, Lincecum, Sandoval, Romo, Lopez, Casilla, Affeldt. Just need Affeldt, Romo, Lopez, and Lincecum. Timmy will be extremely tough. Both rare and very expensive.

I created an IG account for displaying my Giants collection, for anyone interested. Slowly working on getting it all posted.

@sfgiantsgameworn

Very cool man, I love this! Following

Thanks!

Yeah I had the Show for ps5 last season and its unbelievable. Graphics are insane. Its pretty difficult to hit though

Now I know why no other team in baseball wanted to sign Joc Pederson and why the Giants were able to land him for a paltry amount ($6 million).

No

He hurt? Those beads cause a neck injury? Too heavy?

He's more interested in playing a labor relations game than playing the game of baseball.

Ah I see it now...

I think he's on to something. BS owners pay as much for their entire payroll as like one dude makes on the Dodgers. It's pretty pathetic. Then you get a sad sack franchise, empty yard in late April, non competitive franchise. The owner counts on profit from the low payroll and the shared revenue piece of the pie. Wouldn't be a bad idea to perhaps have a payroll floor, maybe?

I can't afford to see the Giants now as it is. It's not just the cost of the ticket. It's the added costs that come with the package. Joc Pederson either doesn't understand this or, worse yet, he simply doesn't care. In his mind the team owners are multi-millionaires, so they should be forking over more money for payroll. What he doesn't understand, or care about, is that will just make attending a game even more expensive.

How can you not afford to see the Giants? I haven't been since the pandemic but pre-pandemic I used to go all the time for $6 a seat. Did inflation hit that hard

What do you mean added costs? I used to just bart. Bart and you're there as they say. It's like $10 per person at least in 2019.

Edit: I kinda get what you're saying I used to go the Dubs back when they had the blue man group mascot and crap unis tickets were cheap used to go to Raider games as well not as a fan but fun to see NFL action for dirt cheap when they were a backward franchise. I'd like to have season tix one day to MLB and I could only pull that off in Detroit or somewhere were they are giving em away lol so maybe we need those teams

The players are the multi-millionaires. The owners are billionaires.
