saying the following. i saw eli get up and he's got that dead head shirt on. i am reminded what the late great jerry garcia once said. he said you do not want to be the best of the best. you want to be the only one that does what you do. that is our san francisco giants in 2010. believe it. how about a big round of applause for burst kochi and brian -- bruce poetrbochy and bn sabian who brought this together and did the impossible. how about another big round of applause to the 2010 world champion san francisco giants.

[applause] let me close by asking bill neukom to come up, representing

the ownership of our giants, and do something that we rarely get to do. this is the highest honor that a city can bestow upon a dignitary, and it just seems appropriate that we bestowed this honor today on this special day, here in our great city and county of san francisco, charlotte will provide the countdown to the delivery of our key to the city of the city and county of san francisco. on behalf of the city and county, on behalf of all of us, bill, we thank you for your ownership, everything you did this year. we thank you for your leadership, your stewardship, and we congratulate you with this key representing the world champion 2010 san francisco giants.

this. san francisco deserved this. the organization, the fans. it is the most interesting life experience that anyone could ever have. i can only think of another word, and it is closure. this team, for our was, friends, family, they understand what we go through, they understand why we go through this. we are so blessed to have experienced but we have with this group of people. there is a reason they won the world series. they won it because they were respectful, because they showed great humility throughout the whole ride. they were like a junkyard dogs on a bone. they would not let go. to use a texas term, we pulled on the same rope. it took a village mentality to raise this team, whether it was the front office, scattered department, player development,

training staff, clubhouse people, but somehow, someway, we had a mind set that there was no difference between the bad boy and the owner, and we took that through the season. we are so proud. we' are so happy to have brought this home to you. now i want to introduce the next manager of the year, bruce goatee. if you thought his head was big before -- bruce bochy. if you thought his head was big before, look at it now. [applause] >> what a feeling. first of all, i have to thank sabean for bringing me here four

years ago to have the opportunity to experience this great city, this story franchise. i have to thank his staff for their tireless work, the time they put in, how devoted they were to getting this done. i could not be prouder of these guys. they play with more heart and determination. they wanted to win in as bad as much for themselves as they did for you. we all saw what you did. we will apologize a little bit for the torture. believe me. don't feel like you are the only one. i looked in the mirror today. i said to myself, what the hell happened? if you get it a little gray hair, i can bring in my clothes there. i think he can help a little bit. -- my closer.

we felt your presence, and in that last game against san diego, we thought your presence in atlanta, against philadelphia, and we certainly felt it in texas. [applause] >> you all came out in full force, you made this an incredible ride. believe me, this trophy belongs to you, san francisco, as much as it belongs to anyone here. thank you very much. [applause] >> congratulations to brian sabean and bruce bochy. i am happy to announce our spanish team announcers. one has been the voice of the giants on spanish-language radio for 13 seasons.

the other was a former great giants infielder in the 1960's and '70's. a big round of applause for tito fuentes. >> i do not know how to say this, but after we won the game, i asked why partner if he had anything to say to compare it to something. if anybody knows tito, heehaws always something to say. he was speechless up until the game. it is all about these guys. they made the giants world series champions. applause for them.

[speaking in spanish] >> now you see the reason why i never talk. he does not let me. [speaking in spanish] >> whoa. that was very short for him.

anyway, it is not about us, but it is about them. [applause] >> let's all together say it -- u -- u -- uribe! our mvp edgar renteria! he is a little bit sick, but let's hear it. whatever you want. >> i want to thank all of you fans for supporting us, for giving us energy, respect, and your love.

[applause] -- outta here! i came to this organization in 1982 and i only knew the couple of things about it. one, it had a really bad ballpark. it used to have a center fielder by the name of willie mays. its current center fielder was some guy named chilly. i also knew that it had not won

a change in ship. my daughter started in 1982 and i am happy to say, thanks to these gentlemen here, the torture is over! [applause] how great was that parade? i know everyone up here felt it. i know you felt it. everyone here today, you are standing here, and you are not standing alone. you are standing with the person who taught you the great story of the san francisco giants, whether it is your dad, mom, friend, a sister, grandpa. they taught you right. they thought you had to be loyal. you have to love your team. to a man on this team, to a man back in august, you fuel and

energized this group all the way through september, and through the epic month of october, and what is one glorious day in november. you have but one responsibility, and you owe it to the person that taught you the good book of the san francisco giants. you need to pass this story on. keep this love alive. when you tell the story, simply tell them, we are the giants. we are san francisco. we of the world champions -- we are the world champions! [applause] >> please welcome tim lincecum, brian wilson, and matt cain! [applause]

before they come up, i want to say one thing. before the last game, we were having in texas, and he said, this story has been written. please welcome brian wilson. >> i am not a man of many words. i did not really know what to say. i am having a mini-heart attack. maybe it is the smell of prop 19. i am not sure. thank you all. you are etched in history. you had our backs from day one. i would also like to thank the mayor for allowing me to try to take the reins. i do not think i am up for the job, but i also have three

words. i know the man who is. where is the machine? [applause] >> like bryan and machine, i am not a man of many words at all. i do not talk much at all. just coming out here and seeing you give us support from day one, from spring training through august, all the way to texas. seeing black and orange out there was so awesome and fun and exciting. it made us so much more comfortable to play. all i can say is thank you. go san francisco. [applause]
