A Band of Misfits: Tales of the 2010 San Francisco Giants

"In Band of Misfits, Andrew Baggarly--longtime Giants beat writer for the San Jose Mercury News--shines a light on the colorful characters (lovingly labeled the 'Dirty Dozen' by manager Bruce Bochy) who became stars during San Francisco's crazy ride to the top, including Aubrey Huff and his now-legendary Rally Thong; clean-cut rookie extraordinaire Buster Posey; and laissez-faire Tim Lincecum, whose laid-back personality is a perfect fit for the City by the Bay. Behind every madcap misadventure there was also an unquenchable drive to succeed and reward the long-suffering fans of San Francisco. Too young, too old, not good enough? This team never bought into those excuses. Every baseball fan will love Baggarly's inside stories of 'The Misfits' run to the title."--Page 2 of cover.
