Though my dad has been gone for over forty years, he was born and raised in Detroit, before moving to San Francisco after WWII. I was born in SF, and was a happy camper when my favorite player, Willie Mays, and the Giants moved west. This series has been several lifetimes in the making. Listening to the Giants' games when I was a kid, gave my dad ample time to regale stories of Hank Greenberg, the original "Hebrew Hammer", his favorite hometown player while growing up. We had several years together rooting for a Giants-Tigers series that never happened.
