The San Francisco Giants appear to be another team of destiny. Facing elimination they won three games in a row on the road in Cincinnati. They then found themselves down three games to one against the reigning champion St. Louis Cardinals and again won three in a row to advance to the World Series against the formidable Detroit Tigers beginning tonight. This is not the first of GIANT miracles. The other one occurred October 4, 1951 when Bobby Thomson hit the "shot heard around the world." It was also known as the "Miracle at Coogan's Bluff." - which was the nickname for the Polo Grounds - the home of the then New York Giants. Both GIANT teams' colors were/are orange & black - also the colors of Hallowe'en. The fans of this current team hope they will keep playing right up to the end of October as a Hallowe'en treat - but the menacing TIGERS may have some tricks awaiting them.
