"For us to win for our fans, it's never been done there, and with all those great teams," Bochy said.
Bonds spent 15 years wearing the black and orange nfl jersey .
"There is no city that deserves this championship more," Bonds said in a statement. "I grew up watching my dad and godfather as Giants, lived out my dream playing in the same uniform in front of the best fans in the world and I just witnessed the Giants winning the World Series. I am ecstatic for the team, the city and all the fans -- you truly deserve it."
Renteria reprised his role of postseason star. His 11th-inning single ended Game 7 of the 1997 World Series and lifted Florida over Cleveland. Forget that he made the last out in the 2004 Series that finished Boston's sweep of St. Louis -- this journeyman's path led to another title, helped by his go-ahead home run in Game 2.
Lee struck out Pat Burrell to keep the runners put, but Ross began hopping home as soon as Renteria connected, sending a drive that kept sailing and landed over the left-center field wall.
"It was a classic pitchers' duel down to that home run. Nobody in this room is more disappointed than I am," Lee said.
And just like that, all the Giants' past troubles seemed like ancient mlb jerseys history.
Bonds, Mays and several other former San Francisco stars are still a part of the Giants family.
Bonds got a hallowed home-run record, but questions persist about alleged steroids use. He visited the Giants clubhouse during the Series and got a big hand from fans when he took his seat at AT&T Park.
His godfather, the 79-year-old Mays, was supposed to throw out the ceremonial first ball but the Say Hey Kid was absent because of illness.
The Giants won their previous title when they played in New York at the Polo Grounds. That's where Mays raced back for perhaps the most famous nfl jerseycatch of all time.
