History

Historical Context

The San Francisco Giants won their first World Series since 1954 in 2010, defeating the Texas Rangers 4-1. This victory ended the "Curse of Coogan's Bluff," a 52-year championship drought since relocating to San Francisco in 1958. The triumph marked a significant milestone for the franchise and the Bay Area, which had not seen a major sports championship since the 49ers' Super Bowl win in 1995.
