giants and another world series championship. you don't have to care just about baseball to understand what a moment like this means to and does from a community. by defining, a community is a unified body of individuals, a group of people with a common interest. and that's exactly what we saw on the streets of san francisco and at city hall today. the celebration of about so much more than baseball. it transcends sports in every way. in a world so contentious, so divided sometimes, we relish the chance. we need the chance to come together if even for a day or world series. the jeans gave us something far more important than a sports title. they gave us a moment of unity, joy, and community pride. a welcome break from isis, ebola, and election-year politics. a reminder that what really matters is not whether you win or lose but how you enjoy the game. from the giants and city on this halloween, no trick. only one wonderful treat.
