San Francisco Giants Victory Parade

Last Wednesday, excitement ran through San Francisco as tens of thousands of people flooded the streets to celebrate The Giants major World Series win. Orange and Black confetti poured from the sky as team owners, coaches and players waved at fans from the back of convertibles, and cheered in celebration. The 49ers came out to support the teams victory as well, as quarterback Alex Smith drove the car carrying Giants pitcher Matt Cain and his family. Coach Jim Harbaugh was behind the wheel of first baseman Brandon Belt's parade vehicle. On the downside, the parade did cost the city a hefty price. Students from neighboring schools came out to support, which costed the school district around $160,000 in their absence. The Mayor reports the Victory Parade costs at $225,000 in total. Despite the costs, the celebration was well deserved for the Giants and their die hard fans, who won the World Series against the Detroit Tigers Saturday, October 27th.
