SF Examiner: Thomson will live forever in Giants lore

By Art Spander
Special to The Examiner


SAN FRANCISCO — The hero passes, the moment lives. In photos on the club level of AT&T Park. In recordings played a thousand times.

RealClearSports: Aubrey Huff Finds Home in San Francisco

By Art Spander
For RealClearSports.com


Funny how life treats us. And how we treat life. Aubrey Huff was the man nobody wanted, the man of whom it was written in one of those blogs, "he cannot perform at the dish.'' For someone whose baseball reputation was as a hitter, that's about as bad as it gets.

His career had been spent with bad teams, Tampa Bay in the early 2000s, the Orioles in the late 2000s. He had publicly called Baltimore a horsespit town, or something close to that. He was known as only an ordinary defensive player.

By Art Spander
Special to The Examiner


The San Jose Sharks — they’re not to be confused with the San Jose A’s. The A’s still are playing. So are the San Francisco Giants, unfortunately.

If it weren’t for the Houston Astros, the Giants would have a losing record. If it weren’t for the Giants, the A’s would have a losing record. If it weren’t for the Sharks, we’d have to rely on the Warriors’ lottery selection for the story that never ends.
