2-2. the 2-2 from brian wilson. down away. a full count. >> tim: if you have to walk it up to home plate and put it on a tee, you do not walk him in this situation. >> joe: here it is. struck him out! and for the first time since 1954, the giants are world champions! [cheers and applause]

>> joe: and lessen to these fans as that celebration happens. in san francisco going crazy, and here in arlington applauding. [cheers and applause] >> tim: their third clincher on enemy turf. they clinched in atlanta, the lds,n philadelphia, the nlcs, and now clinching in texas for the world

championship. >> joe: the guy on your screen, tim lincecum, becomes the fifth pitcher in world series history with ten or more strikeouts in a clinching game, and the first one to do it, as he gets the win here tonight, since bob gibson in 1967. the last swing. this group of san francisco giants, a team that was worked on all season long, added to at the trading deadline, added to at the end of august, came together, and they won it all.

so while the celebration continues, down to the field we go. here's ken rosenthal. >> ken: thanks, joe. cody, upper claimed on waivers from the marlins in late august. did you ever think then that this moment was 'nibble. >> absolutely not. i can't tell you how proud i am of this team, just never giving up. we don't have any superstars. we are just a bunch of guys that wanted to win. obviously our pitching is incredible. timmy threw an unbelievable game and brian came in. we couldn't have drawn it up any better. it's unbelievable of. >> ken: you guys beat cliff lee twice. how did you do it? >> a lot of hard work and just heart. i want to congratulate the texas rangers on an incredible season. cliff, he's a class-act. we are coming home,

san francisco. we did it. we nailed it! >> ken: back to you. >> joe: kenny, thank you. this, for the giants in 2010, the first championship for this organization since they moved west in 1958. linecum over the railing and out to join the celebration. and it's for players like juan marichal, orlando cepeda, willie mccovey, and scott gurrell, jack clark, will clark, bobby and barryry bonds, j.t. snow, and guys who in san francisco gave it all they had, but never won it all.

>> joe: a team that won its 19th pennant, just won it's sixth world championship. >> tim: watch linecum go over the railing. and this takes an athlete. [laughter] >> joe: and linecum ended up right in the mosh pit and on shoulders. he deserves it. he was brilliant. >> tim: he certainly does. >> joe: back down to ken rosenthal. >> ken: thanks, joe. bust air, you came up to the majors may 29th. upper trying to get establish. now you are the first rookie catcher since 1966 to win a world

series. how does all that sound? >> i don't know, what can you say? i mean, it's -- i mean, this is the ultimate high in baseball. i got to experience it my first year here. i don't know what to say. >> ken: tim lincecum tonight, how much better was he than he's ever been before? >> you know what? the guy was on -- you could see it in the first inning. he had late action on the fastball, and he had that confidence. he had that demeanor about him. i mean, he was good all the way through. cruz hit a pretty good pitch out and he bounced back and got us right back in. he probably could have finished it up but we have to go to wilson there. >> ken: finally, edgar renteria, what can you say about him? >> oh, my gosh. this guy hasn't played, probably sat on the bench for what, four months out of the year maybe? and hits two clutch, clutch home runs and is going out on top. hits a three run homer

to win the last game for us. i'm so happy for him. congratulation s. >> joe: what an impressive young man. 23 years old. if you think about tim lincecum, he set the tone in game one of the division series, striking out 14. that was against atlanta. he bookends it with a game here in game 5, the clincher of the world series. from the ground, from the air, and the celebration from a couple thousand miles away in san francisco as they celebrate at civic center plaza. the guys on the other side of the break are just getting started with a celebration for the giants here in arlington.

great job. congratulations to the world champions, san francisco giants. >> thank you, commissioner. thank you. [applause]. >> mr. neukom, to win it as a franchise for the first time since 1954, something very important, but you are a guy who grew up in northern california. what does it mean to finally bring the hardware to san francisco? >> it's a great thing for the franchise, for the city of san francisco, for all of our fans and the community in northern california. we stood on the backs of giants ahead of us that got us here, and we had a terrific time. congratulations to the texas rangers, who have a proud franchise. with all their distractions this year they played outstanding baseball, a hard-fought baseball. we managed to get the better of it. we are humbled about that. we are proud of what we have done. and i can't say enough about the work of our general manager, brian sabean, who built this team from spring training and added to

it in the season. and turned it over to bruce bochy, and he somehow managed to put the players in position to be successful. it's a great team win tonight and that's what it has been all year. it's been a team of talented people who love to play this game and like doing it with each other. >> congratulations. larry bear, a fourth generation. >> players and managers have worn that uniform and millions of fans would have been at candlestick and field stadium in sometimes a less than ideal climate, and it's an honor that this club has honored and paid tribute to all of those millions of fans and those 53 teams. it's a beautiful thing. >> congratulations. brian sabean, the architect of the 2010 san francisco giants. i know it was rather emotional when you made the world series.

i can't imagine who is going through your heart and your head right now. >> well, everybody is talking about '62 and '89, 2002. this group deserved it. it was fateful from the beginning, the start of spring training. it was a community effort. the front office, and scouting, and bochy's staff did as good a job in baseball since i've seen the game, and i've been in the game a while. we are humbled by the achievement and to bring we will bring the trophy home to san francisco is really amazing. >> chris: brian, congratulations. bruce bochy, manager of the giants. not bad for a bunch of cast offs and misfits. >> yeah, they did all right. i couldn't be prouder of the group. it goes to show what a team can do when they play with heart and determinatio i mean, they weren't going to be denied. they did it for each other and the fans. and i want to thank my staff, and how hard they worked. and the players, how they accepted their roles and that was a

win. and i wouldn't be prouder of the group. >> a guy that came up as a big league catcher, you have to appreciate your starting pitching, not only in this series but the entire playoffs. i mean they were dominant. >> unbelievable how good they have been, and, of course, buster posey the job he did handling the staff. they are the reason we are here, and to come in here and pitch like that against a great ballclub. and what bumgarner did yesterday, and the cain postseason, postsd timmy goes out in and does that. it's great to have these guys in front of us for the future, and i couldn't be happier for them. >> on a personal note, you have been in this game for 35 years professionally. i mean, how satisfying is it to a life-long baseball man? >> i tell you, i was nervous last night, really all day. you know, you realize you are on the verge of doing something that you have dreamed about all your life and just wanted another chance. these guys did it, and it's a feeling you can't describe. when we got that last

out, all kinds of emotions are running through you because you realize how hard this is to do. >> congratulations. >> thank you >> chris: time now to present the world series mvp presented by chevrolet. once again, commissioner selig. come on in here. >> it's my privilege again to present the most valuable player presented by chevrolet to edgar renteria. edgar, in 1997 you got a game winning hit and now in 2010 you had a game winning hit. you had a batting average in the world series that's incredible. and i must say your three-run home run tonight and all your other contributions are remarkable. so congratulations to edgar renteria, the most valuable player in the 2010 world series. congratulations. [applause]

>> chris: edgar, for what you went through this year, you ended up on the d. l. three times, almost four, courtesy of your manager, bruce bochy, it was a trying year for you. but to come up with the huge hits that did you in the world series, how satisfying is this for you? >> yeah, it was a tough year for me. i appreciate all the patience because they had patience with they. they give me a chance to play in the playoff games. everyone go well. i don't know, that's one thing i don't know. i see the boys -- >> chris: it's obviously emotional for you. was there a point at this year that you thought maybe you wouldn't get a chance to shine on a major league field again? >> yeah, yeah. it was a tough year for me. but i told myself to keep working, work

hard. and keep in shape because something is going to be good for this year for you. and i believe in my team, i believe in the pitcher. and everything go well >> chris: you are the fourth player to have a game-winning rbi in two different world series clinching games. dimaggio, yogi berra, and now edgar renteria. that's amazing to be part of, isn't it? >> yeah, it is. i feel proud of myself, i feel proud for my teammates. >> chris: you are 35 now, upper 22 when you won it back in 1997. a lot has transpired in those 13 years. are you walking away a winner or do you want to give this another shot, my friend? >> i don't know. i will think about it and see what happens congratulati ons. enjoy the mvp trophy

and a job well done. congreat layings to you and the 2010 san francisco giants. >> thank you. >> chris: aubrey huff, my friend. how are you? >> all right. no better, believe me. >> that a boy, edgar, you old man, dinosaur >> chris: you haven't been to the playoffs in nearly 1500 career season regular games and now you are standing on top of the mountain. what's bouncing through that head of you? >> this is the most amazing feeling i have ever had, except for the birth of my two kids. i can't even believe what just happened. when he struck him out at the end i didn't know what to do. it's such a long road for me. ten years in the big leagues and probably nine fourth place. and hoping that it stays one day where i can find a place to win. they gave me a great chance to come here. i didn't even have a job late in the

season. these guys gave me a chance and thank god they did. >> upper a bunch of castoffs and misfits and you kind of adopted that whole theme. you might have been the president of that club. did you not have a job until mid-january. this is a guy who had been a productive player, you are stuck in this lineup, and you really carried it throughout the year and kind of championed the cause. >> you have to credit sabean. he got a bunch of old school guys, started with me and picked up pat burrell, who picked up big homers late for us. and cody ross. it goes on and on. every time you go through the locker room, you can go to each locker and any night it can be anybody. edgar renteria tonight. unbelievable. amazing story. two big world series hits in his career. i just can't be happier for the guy. >> you waited 11 years. go celebrate. >> thanks congratulati ons. and fear the beard! it's the middle of the interview process but we are going to bring in the closer, brian wilson. you can hold this. hey, upper a big part of this.

yeah. i mean, to finish a world series game and bring the city of san francisco it's first baseball championship, what does that feel like? >> oh, my goodness. it feels amazing. to lead up to this moment, good gosh. what a battle. and for the fans to come out in october and just go absolutely nuts, that was our postseason right there. rally towels, beards everywhere, tim's hair. world championship hair >> chris: you can come in here too. we can have a beard and hair at the same time. that's fine. >> for the fans. this one was for the greats of san francisco that played there before us. and obviously for us, there's a lot of guys in that room right now that nailed it all season, including edgar renteria, which i hope he won the mvp because -- >> chris: yeah, he did. back in july you told me that you had the best team around and there were some people

that probably didn't believe you. sorry? >> skeptic? >> chris: i am not a skeptic. i am saying at the time some people said maybe you weren't the best. what made you the best the last four months of the year? >> persistence. from the starting pitchers to pound the strike zone, get ahead and their work ethic. every guy in the clubhouse gets here as a specific time, they have their routine. no matter how hard they work, they still get down and they nail down their workouts. and we just had a bunch of team effort guys pulling up late in beginning situations and getting two-out hits and coming in and striking out the lefty. everybody made a huge contribution this year. congratulation s. >> thank you >> chris: all right. tim lincecum. go ahead. hang on to that. how is it that look? >> shiny. >> chris: obvious. that's nice. after game 1 you said that you could be better, that you

learned something about your game 1 experience. you are flat-outcome than the. what was the difference for you tonight? >> we wanted to just nail it down here. that was the big thing. you know, coming in here. you know, kind of shutting them up. doing what we can, just playing good defense. you know, getting runs and manufacturing a good ball, i guess >> chris: when you went into the phillies series you heard that halladay and hammels and oswalt were going to be better than the giants. they weren't. then you get down here and you have to deal with the best hitting team in baseball. you shut them down to a collective .190 average. your starting staff was top-notch. >> i can't say enough about the guys coming in in the big games, stepping up and doing their thing. none of us had really been here before so it's a new thing for all of us. and for guys to step up and just stay poised, collective, and give us a chance to win in every single game we've been in since the postseason started. i feel a lot about our guys >> chris: on a personal note you beat derek lowe, you beat

halladay, you beat cliff lee twice. that's pretty good to put on your mantel, isn't it? >> i would say we did. everybody had their chances to be here rose throughout the season. collectively we put it together and came around at the right time >> chris: finally when you were a little kid learning how to pitch and do that funky delivery, were you dreaming about the day you would be the winning pitcher in the world series? >> usually i was dreaming about being the hitter but in this case i'll take this >> chris: nice job. congratulations. >> yep >> chris: enjoy. there are plenty of guys in the plenty of room who want to take it. tim lincecum, go for it, my friend. joe buck, back on up to you. >> joe: nice job down there. congratulations to the giants. we will continue. as you see bruce bochy is out on the field. and a lot of fans for the giants are down that left field side saluting their team as they start to trickle out, one after the other. how about derek, the

job tim lincecum did in this postseason to beat derek lowe, took care of halladay, took care of cliff lee, not once, but twice. back with more after this. the power of a duramax turbo diesel and rugged allison transmission. proven in the real world for more than 10 years - and backed for 100,000 miles. with more than 20,000 pounds behind you, shouldn't you put a trusted powertrain in front of you? introducing the new chevy silverado hd. our most powerful heavy duty ever. what do they want? in order to save our civilization, we must schmeplicate with the male of your species. in exchange, we offer this... schmeplicate? bud light? [ buzzes ] here we go!

i'm doing it... for all of us. [ male announcer ] it's the sure sign of a good time. the just-right taste of bud light. [ woman #1 ] the guys are gone. here we go. whoooohoo! whoooohoo! whoooohoo!

>> joe: there's matt cain with the world series trophy. how good was he? 21 1/3 innings pitched this postseason, no earned runs allowed. giants win it here tonight. why don't we give you a look back at some of the history of this giants organization. the giants the polo grounds, the catch in the 1954 world championship, pulled up stakes in new york and led the major league expansion west for the 1958 season. unfortunately baseball's manifest test any has not included much winning for the giants or the city of san francisco. the bitter rivalry

with the hated dodgers has always tilted south. and, yes, the players are legendary. the say hey kid, marichal, mccovey, orlando cepeda, will, the thrill, and being thrilled by two generationings of bonds. but the highs have always been a precurser to that memory. 62 sad and sudden ending. the tragedy and misery of october 17, 1989. and coming so close in 2002. even breaking baseball's most hallowed record brought uncomfortable questions. at times it seemed the franchise was faced with the cold reality that it was no one more for where it played than how it performed.

after over 50 years of san francisco giants baseball, few would have said in spring training 2010 that this group of pursued heroes, this staff of electric, but young pitchers, this season of torture would end at the mountaintop. but that's baseball. america's most beautiful city. you now own baseball's greatest reward, a world series trophy. the trip west is now complete. there's the celebration in the middle of the diamond. and no longer do the fans of the giants have to here about this, the drought. fifty five seasons in between knocked the giants off the list, and moved texas up one space. it's been 50 seasons and now we welcome you inside our broadcast

booth. we've talked about it. chris rows talked about it with the players down there. this was a total team effort, tim, that was led by just absolutely phenomenal pitching. >> tim: there's a saying in baseball that pitching cures all ills. and from top to bottom not only did the giants have the good starters, the four strong starters, bumgarner last night, linecum tonight, you mentioned matt cain, but the bullpen. think about what the giants would have done without the bullpen in game 6 against the philadelphia phillies. >> joe: you look at some of the numbers since september and what this pitching staff did. that's how they got here. they got there to the postseason with what they did on the pitching mound. you see what the starters did in the division series, the bullpen in the nlcs, what happened here in this world series. heck, almost another shutout here tonight. but they got here with their pitching, there's no doubt. but as the guys have talked about, the

players, chris rose, it was seemingly a different guy in the lineup every night. >> tim: right. >> joe: cody ross, aubrey huff last night, it was edgar renteria with the three-run home run tonight. they just spread it around. it was a group effort. >> tim: the giants, of the 8 playoff teams, they spent the fewest days in first place, 37 days in first place in the national league regular season, and now they are world champions. nobody is taller. >> joe: they won their division on the final day of the regular season as they beat san diego. they won the nlcs by two games and now they have won it all. when we come back we will hear from the manager of the texas rangers, ron washington. he will sum you have texas's season when we come back. as the celebration for the giants continues here in texas.

[ male announcer ] at&t and blackberry have teamed up to evolve the smartphone. at&t. rethink possible. >> joe: they are celebrating in san francisco, their first world series championship ever, as they win the world

series in five games over the texas rangers. for texas, it was their first world series appearance. obviously bittersweet. a few minutes ago our ken rosenthal caught up with the losing manager, ron washington. >> ken: thanks. ron, you accomplished so much this season. you won the west, you beat the rays, you beat the yankees. what is the feeling like in that room right now? >> you know the guys are a little down, simply because they didn't just want to be in the world series, they wanted to win it. but, you know, you have to give congrats to the san francisco giants. they beat us. they beat us soundly. they played baseball better than we did. i always tell my guys it's not the best team that wins, it's the team that plays the best, and they certainly did that. i want to congratulate them. they deserve to be the world champions because i field like they beat a world champion. my guys, they are a little down. we thank each other for the effort we have given to each other since february. you know, the feeling that you feel and the

taste that you have in your mouth, you certainly want to try to come back next year and see if you can go all the way >> ken: you knew the giants could pitch. did you think they could pitch like this? >> i didn't know they could pitch that well, but it was just as good as advertised. those guys can do a lot of things with that baseball. they can throw a good fastball, they can cut it, they can spin it, they can change it. you know, in the seven-game series they got the four before we did and they deserve to be the world champions >> ken: ron, thank you very much. >> thank you. >> chris: ron washington, gracious obviously in defeat. rejoined by eric karros and ozzie guillen. it was all about giants pitching, especially tonight. >> eric: it really was. tim lincecum dominated the game. i think it was his experience. he got game one out of the way, his nerves and this is the second time he had to close out a series. didn't do it in the nlcs. he did it point. one thing about the

giants pitching, in the last two games only one texas runner got past second base, and that was nelson cruz on theome run. one runner in two games. >> chris: speaking of home runs, he had went of rent three run shot was obviously the difference in this one. if i am going to put you in ron washington's cleats in a minute, what do you do with edgar renteria, do you pitch to him or pitch around him and get to aaron rowand? >> ozzie: it's hard because you have a guy behind that's playing the guess game out of the world series. he's not been in the lineup in the past. and giving up the home run. it's easy to second guess people after the fact, after it happens >> chris: but what we do to manager >> ozzie: but the thing is. >> eric: upper second guessing up here, you first-guessed it >> ozzie: i don't let edgar renteria beat me. i don't let it happen. i let aaron rowand beat me in the game >> chris: you hear the fans back here thrilled with the

first world series, even though it was a losing effort. ozzie, we appreciate you being a member of our fox postseason coverage. next year get out on the field. >> ozzie: all this junk about you, i second guessing? >> chris: it will be beautiful. hope you had fun, my friend >> ozzie: thank you. i do enjoy >> chris: that's it for our coverage. coming up next it's your local news, except or the west where it is seen in its regular time. promotional consideration paid for by the following: >> chris: for nor information on tonight's game and nor major league baseball news, log on to foxsports.com, powered by msn, the world's favorite sports site. before we say so long tonight we would like to say our thanks of. and major league baseball to be with us every step of the way the past three weeks helping to enhance fox's nlcs and world series telecast. guys, we could not

[ son my parents have always lived in the states.

[ male announcer citi thankyou points can be used for almost anything you choose. what's your story? citi can help you write it.

here it is struck him out. for the first time since 1954 the giants are world champions. >> every giant fan on the planet should watch that pitch over and over again. the last pitch for a first ever world series victory for the

san francisco giants. all right. here's a live look at at&t park, and downtown san francisco where fans e pouring into willie mayes plaza. we'll take a look at all of them in a few minutes as they want to get closer to home of the san francisco giants what a great ring to it has. the home of the 2010 world series champs. welcome to an early edition of the ktvu channel 2 news. some have called the giants a team of destiny. i would say more like a team of defiance. they defied logic, the experts and the oddsmakers and they defied anybody to get them to cut their hair or shave their beards, and they dared anybody to stop them from brining the bay area its first ever world

series championship. and tonight they have done just that. we've got live team coverage for you. ktvu fred inglis is in arlington, texas. paul chambers is at at&t park. but let's begin with david stevenson at civic center. david go ahead. >> reporter: well, here i am at civic center plaza. take a look around. there are thousands of people here. they have remained after the broadcast they are sticking around to show their enthusiasm about the giants. they say they will be out in the streets celebrating the giants' percent world series win. it has been an exciting night out here. there were kids, adults all sorts of people of different ages and races out here celebrating the giants. little bit hairy out here in terms of enthusiasm. these folks are planning to spend the warm night out here celebrating the win of their

team. we got word from the mayor's office that a ticker tape practice raid will take place on wednesday to celebrate the giants' win. the mayor will be on hand to give the giants the key to the city. we'll have more details about the celebration planned for wednesday. reporting live david stevenson ktvu in san francisco. >> that was a look from above from chopper 2, and we also have coverage down in texas ktvu fred inglis is in arlington on the field at the ballpark. we should mention for those joining us late, 3-1 was the final. giants pitching just absolutely shut it down, fred. and tonight in the person of tim lincecum and of course brian wilson out of the pen to close it down. fred. >> reporter: well, mark, this really is one for the

generations. also a generation of ball players. 35-year-old edgar renteria who was the mvp of the world series. three run homer tonight's ball game. then there's 26-year-old tim lincecum. 8 innings, one run on three hits. 71 of his 101 pitches were for strikes. the giants pitchers went 18 pins without allowing a single run by the texas rangers. this truly was about 25 man roster. >> it was about a mishmash of guys. nobody could be happier than the manager himself bruce bochy. bruce you pulled every string everything worked. >> the players made it work. i couldn't be prouder of a group of guys. we had contributions from everybody. the missing we got bum garner what he did of course wilson. here edgar gets a chance to

play he gets mvp. we got it done but these guys are crazy enough to do it. >> reporter: weapon you say crazy. it was a mishmash of guys, when did you understand that yes this is how i'm going to have to play i'm going to have to play 25 guys. everybody is going to have to do all hands on deck mentality. >> the way we're built we have flexibility i can move guys around give guys a day when they are struggling like torres. it's fun to have a team like this i can move around put in different guys and what's important through all this fred they accepted it. they bought into it and they did what they thought was best for the club. >> reporter: a large contingency of giants fans here. >> unbelievable. these guys want to win for the fans as much as for themselves. >> what they did for us down the stretch and through the playoff this was crazy around the ballpark. they have been pack talking

about it. our fans congratulations to all you and thanks. >> reporter: you are the only san francisco giants manager to have a world series ring for this city. are you going to run for mayor? >> i tell you what, we talked a little bit about the history and those great games. i tell you what was really neat through all this willie mayes and mccoffee and will clark all those guys with those great teams. they have been here pulling for these guys. they wanted to see it get done those guys helped and i'm just honored to be in this situation. >> reporter: you are still here at rangers ballpark where a large crowd of giants fans still hanging out waiting imploring the giants players could come out for one more salute. let's salute manager bruce bochy he's been second guessed a lot in his career here with the giants but he seemed to pull every single right move out only tonight but throughout

the playoff. in that 7th inning. >> let's go back to 7th inning where they scored those three runs. cody ross starts off with a single against cliff lee. juan uribe not bunting but hits another single. so all of a sudden now they are getting to the rangers cliff lee with back-to-back singles in the game. then it is huff. huff has never had a sacrifice bunt in his major league career. never had one until tonight. he pushes the players to second and third, and then comes edgar renteria. the 35-year-old edgar renteria 8 for 17. he had 3 home runs all year long but he steps up and belts his second home run of this world series 397 feet and he needed every foot of it. but it was the only run of the game for the giant it certainly proved to be enough and the celebration was already about to begin and is now maxing out

here at ranger ballpark. bruce bochy second guessed often but he was never wrong in this world series. perhaps never wrong in the postseason, and the glory goes to the manager, the organization and the city of san francisco. world series champions in the 106th edition of the fall classic. mark, back to you. >> it's a beautiful thing, fred. right behind you we can see the pictures of some of the giants coming out of that celebratory clubhouse, and they are -- fred inglis outside the ballpark. i tell you what we're going to take a look at some scenes from outside the ballpark at at&t from chopper 2 in just a second. here i tell you what. >> reporter: for so many years

an intergenerational thing. where else would you find this. it has really crossed all circles of the bay area. we've all waited a long time in the bay area for a winner for the 20, 30 somethings but this is also for the people in their 40s, in their 50s, 60s and 70s who remember the giants coming here in 1958. and really wondered if this day would ever happen. especially after 2002. the good news is it finally has happened. there are a lot of people celebrating and it's not just about san francisco. the entire bay area even here in the east bay. >> thanks, joe. and i know you're a long time giants fan you grew up in the area like i did. i remember after 2002 when we were saying after this heartbreaking loss to the angels just once, once in our

lifetime a toast to joe fonzi and the rest of the giant fans who have that championship delayed for so many years 50 baseball tones zones but in the end not denied. the giants are the world champs. the final game tonight decided 3-1 against the texas rangers as now we get out to ktvu john sasaki who is in san francisco's marina district tonight. john, kind of a repeat of last night, but we have finality. it feels good. >> reporter: a repeat of last night but multiplied by a thousand. take a look at chestnut street. this place is going crazy. traffic is stopped they are blocking all the traffic. people are getting out of their cars. buses are stopping, fire engines passing by lighting it up with their lights and sirens. everybody here is celebrating. hundreds and hundreds of people are here on chestnut street right now. it is utter pandemonium. this is the moment that these people some not so long but a

to this. >> reporter: okay. all right. barbara, thank you so much. appreciate it. congratulations to you. this is a moment that everybody here has been waiting for. you're going to hear it many, many times i have to say it as well. the san francisco giants are the world series champions. live in san francisco john sasaki ktvu channel 2 news. >> it rolls off the tongue so easily now. san francisco giants world series champs as you are looking at a news chopper 2 shot. this is willie mayes plaza, the 24 palm trees there out in front. fans just needed to be close to each other as the team is still in texas obviously, and a lot of fans had hoped that might be if the giants left the team would get that world series victory on their own home lawn so to speak, but most fans knowing whenever you have an opportunity to win a world

series, you take it as soon as you can, and that the giant did this evening. nailing its down 3-1 behind tim lincecum's masterful pitching and as mike kruko would say no jimmy jacking around in the 9th inning. brian wilson a 1, 2, 3 inning to retire the rangers in order and bring that victory back to san francisco. there will be a big parade. a ticker tape parade much like the one in 1958 when the giants arrived from new york. that's on wednesday. plenty of details with regard to that as we continue tonight with our coverage. let's go down to maureen naylor live in union city a campaign that is cranking out world series shirts. >> reporter: it is official it's being printed on t-shirts as we speak. we're at the factory in union city in the last half an hour they started cranking these out. world series champions it's

going to be a two sided plaque shirt the backside which lists all the players. over to the right is where it depose through the dryer after 350 degrees. they are trying to crank out 9,000 of these shirts. that's the initial order. these are all licensed through major league baseball, and these all go to your local stores, local dugout to the giants store. they printed about 2,000 of them last night just in case this happened. and it did. i'm going to bring you down hair show you how they finish them up. i told you it's going to be a two sided shirt it comes down here this is where it's dry. i'm actually going to be able to pick up and show you after he shows you that this is it. take a look mark. world series champions. that's the front there's the back. this will be coming to a store near you. chuck tell us what you guys are going to be doing. >> this will be kind of a long ordeal. probably take us 12 to 15 hours

to get the orders finished with the two sided printing. and they should be ready in the stores first thing tomorrow morning. >> reporter: this is really top secret explain what's the concern when you're looking at licensing and major league baseball. >> everything, license, a company has to be licensed to print these things. and to maintain authenticity. we have hologram stickers each one has a serial number on it. >> reporter: the cost of these? >> well, the cost. >> reporter: you just print them. >> we get the shirts shipped from bf image which is a company we're licensed to work with. >> reporter: it's going to be a busy night here thank you chuck. again they are looking to do 9,000 of these initially. this will be at your store a lot of fans have been waiting in long lines to get these. he was saying chuck was just telling me will the giants not clinched the world series these would be collectors items. it is the reality mark as i

said world champion t-shirts coming to a store near you. >> thank goodness. those shirts don't become souvenirs and collectors item. they are for ream. the giants are world champions a one among many great stories with regard to this team. nobody, and i mean nobody predicted them to win the world series i don't care who you talk to. one of the amazing facts the giants were in first place only 37 days during the 162 game schedule. the giants as the only team in the playoffs to be in first place that few days. so just a great effort. they came together in a big way, and let's show you a little of how they pulled it off tonight. timmy lincecum. calm, confident early. in fact in the third inning he strikes out the side buster posey later said this guy had his stuff going on from the very first inning and he looked beautiful doing it. match and efficiency by cliff

lee big left-hander looking good as he gets cody ross on the strike. it stays scoreless. lincecum doesn't give up a lit in fact until the 4th inning when the third baseman of the rangers michael young rolls one up the middle past lincecum. but it was not a problem. he will wind up getting josh hamilton on strike. hamilton big rangers slugger a huge threat every time he comes up there but he had only a couple of litter in the spire world series. then as that inning finishes out slugger nelson cruz on strikes and it remains scoreless into the fourth inning. we go back to paul chambers now at at&t to bring us up-to-date with some of the wild proceedings near the ballpark paul. >> reporter: that is so true mark. i got one of these hats. the t-shirts will be at the dug out store tomorrow. they have the hats the pen ants. the line started out behind me

people were excited waiting to get whatever they can. they also spilled into the street from chopper 2 we have people outside taking a long, long look people have been waiting a long time for this to happen. the streets are flooded at third and king. we caught up with san francisco miss out here they are talking about their game plan and how they will handle giant celebration tonight. police have increased their presence all over the city. officers are walking the beat near at&t ballpark civic center plaza and other agency. they know fans will be out celebrating they have no problem with that they want to make sure the fans are abiding by the laws in our state. >> so far very well based fans celebrating madly as you would imagine. to give you a further example how the giants man handled the texas rangers tim lincecum of course 8 innings of work ten

strikeouts but in the series which the giants win 4 games to one they out scored the texas rangers 29-12, and of course the rangers went into this favored by the odds makers and just about all the experts have predicted that the texa rangers would pull off victory over the san francisco giants i think largely because they figure hey the rangers beat the new york yankees of course they are going to beat the san francisco giants. did not work out that way. sorry texas, sorry new york the giants are the world champions. take another look at the fans who apparently are behaving themselves very well down at at&t park. huge parade in san francisco on wednesday. more highlights more interviews as we continue with this special early edition of the ktvu channel 2 news.

pitchers catchers. this is what the final product looks like. i want to show you how this is made. it starts right here. we have about 9,000 shirts that will be made in just the last few hours. they start blank and then i want to move you over to the press. this is where they start putting the back. this is the one side they are printing. they start with the white paint and these are going to appear in all shops around the bay area starting tomorrow morning. they printed about 2,000 of these last night. and again right now they are going to be working for the next 15 hours or so. this is the best color. everyone's been talking about the black and orange i don't know if you can see the bucket down here. this is the orange paint that they are putting on and it has to be the right color orange or else it would not be authorized by major league baseball, and that is the beautiful orange that's being applied to the back of these shirts. and again, they are going to be working throughout the evening for about 15 hours, and i want to show you something interesting. i showed you the finished product, and this is actually a mess up that they made.

they have to work very hard to get these just right and can see on here what were wrong with this shirt was the orange was not the right color orange. this is the wrong color orange. that's the right color orange. so it's a very detailed science here that they have to get just right to get these out to fans. the fans have been lining around the bay area to get shirts like this. this is the mess up one. there is it again. this will be coming to a store near you. they will be here for 15 hours. they waited until the end of the world series of course they had to wait and they called in about 20 to 22 workers to get here and they will be here working throughout the night. reporting live from union city maureen naylor ktvu channel 2 institution. >> thanks maureen. no doubt a labor of love for everybody involved in that project. in the meantime we've been showing you shots of at&t. fans are just heading down there in droves right now. the police we understand have arrived and let's get out to at&t make sure everybody is

comporting themselves in fine fashion. paul chambers what do you have? >> reporter: mark that is true. they are having themselves in fine fashion a lot of fans are behind me. they are making sure people are doing what they are supposed to do. you can see where the police have their command center just in case anything happens. we caught up with san francisco police as they were talking about their game plan. how they were going to handle giant celebration tonight. get some video here. police have increased their presence all over the city. a lot of people are walking the beat near at&t ballpark civic center plays a and all areas. they will let the fans have a great time celebrating they want to make sure people are abiding by the laws and are very safe. >> there are command posts at different locations one up at civic center we have this one here and other commands posts for various areas throughout the center where we anticipate that fans will go to celebrate.

(lost audio.) it will be a very peaceful celebration without vandalism or rioting. they want to celebrate. you can come back here live people have taken to the streets. it is very peaceful right now. there was an ambulance out here but they basically want to make sure the streets are clear in case an emergency breaks out they are able to operate. these people are very rowdy. very happy and very excited. live from at&t ballpark paul chambers ktvu channel 2 institution. >> all right paul. one of the great sub plots with regard to the san francisco giants team redemption for edgar renteria. he hit 429 in the world series. he is the world series mvp. but if you know this guy's story he signed a two-year 18 million-dollar contract with the giants. he was injured much of the

time, didn't play. fans, if you listen the talk radio were on his case they were on brian say yan's case for spending so much money on a guy who was at the latter stages of his career. redemption for him. who cares now. as he comes through in great fashion, a three run homer that helped put the giants over in fact provided all their runs tonight. 3-1. let's take a look at the middle stages of this ball game. it's zero zero going to the 6th. looked like a pretty good chance for the giants to score here. freddy sanchez stop at right. nelson cruz comes in if you look at the replay he actually took his eye off the ball kind of looked down at the turf to see where he is apparently. and that falls in for a hit for freddy sanchez. the next batter buster posey deep he home easterly direction last night you think he could do its again. no. cruz a nice catch in deep right center to keep it scoreless.

as you look at him go back and manage the wall out there. and a good catch buster thought he had it out of there. meantime the 7th inning, the fateful 7th inning as it were. cold he ross again right in the thick of things for the giants. a base hit decide not to sacrifice punt. bochy again the right call he let's you are bay swing away. aubrey huff bunt happened to be the first in his career giants have runners at 2nd and 3rd and all pat burrell has to do is hit a fly ball. instead he strikes out again against cliff lee. he had at that time been up 12 tiles in the series and struck out 10. not to fear. two outs fored georgia for, edgar renteria. three run shot and pat burrell

is the happiest guy on the planet. hugging anybody he sees as he is off the hook and renteria with the game winning home run that cemented mvp honors for him. take another look at pat burrell giving rent rea a hug as he comes to giants dug out. those runs held up as no question they would the way tim lincecum was throwing 8 innings of work for him gave up one run we'll review more highlights of this but we need to get back over to david stevenson who is in san francisco right now to continue our postgame coverage of the san francisco giants winning the world series. >> reporter: hey, i'm standing right here in civic center plaza. you can see there are still a lot of people here. these are fans who have been out here since early this afternoon. let's take a look at how they reacted through the end of the game.

going wild right then. here's what they had to say after the game ended. >> oh, my gosh i cannot believe this is happening. i can't believe it. i've been waiting 29 years after suffering through 02. thank got sweet redemption baby. yeah!. >> this is so great we've been waiting a long time for this and we finally got it. >> this is history right here. one for san francisco right here baby. we did it. >> reporter: again these are the fans who have stayed here at civic center instead of heading to at&t park a lot of them told me they are looking forward to the giants coming back and look forward to wednesday's grandpa raid to celebrate the world series champions. we'll head back to you.
