From the first San Francisco Giants game at Seals Stadium in 1958 through the team's 2002 postseason thrills and beyond, this book relives the excitement of some of the greatest games and single-game performances in Giants history. Each game--selected by the players themselves--was chosen for its personal significance: some of statistical note, others heartwarming or tearful. A grieving Jason Schmidt throws an unbeatable performance just ten days after his mother passed away. Bob Brenly suffers a cruel humiliation before rebounding to a storybook finale. After toiling in minor-league parks across the country for eight years, Brian Dallimore smashes a grand slam in a scintillating debut start. San Francisco native "Dirty Al" Gallagher becomes the hero of the day for his hometown team.

Rich and storied is the history of the San Francisco Giants, full of both exhilarating games and colorful personalities. Game of My Life: San Francisco Giants brings them together like never before.
