my parents passed it down to him just as brandon crawford's parents passed it to him and you're passing it your children and pam and i are passing it our children. all my heroes still wear orange and black. there are those on the stage but there are also other people in orange and black. figuratively if not literally. they are the full time employees of this organization and the 1,000 event employees who work hard everyday to make sure the story of the san francisco giants, the world champion san francisco giants is an extraordinary one. round for applause for all of the people that work for the giants and so you our fans and the familiar voices and faces. you have become our heroes as well. no team wins a world series without a little manic and that is you, the fans. baseball is continuous. every generation writes its own chapter. how incredible is this? right now right here our second world championship in three years. this is our chapter.

training stuff, a little better weather down there today and we've got the story of the two brandons. crawfordur left, belt on your right and a pretty good reason why the giants should condition to contend in the western division as these guys continue to improve in just their second full year, they get along pretty good and their stats keep rising. >> we're friends. so i think that kind of says a lot. we came up around the same time. so we played together in the minor leagues. we kind of got to know each other very well and we got to know each other's situation. >> definitely. we're getting pretty comfortable with each other the last couple of years we got that thing going. he feels comfortable throwing to me and i feel comfortable catching. >> outside of tucson they complete the suspended match play championship. fellow irishman lawry beat the world's number one player rory mcilroy. and charles iii beat tiger woods. as hal singing that birdie put to win 2-1. so the top two players are eliminated from match play. i'm sure the promoters not happy at all about that. as everybody of course likes

. >> reporter: and a good deal of position players like brandon crawford are already on the scene. >> it's nice. we have a lot of the same guys back from last year. so it's like a reunion here coming back and everybody getting together and we're all real excited because, like i said, we have the same guys coming back. we hope to do the same thing. >> reporter: and they will continue unpacking tomorrow as the rest report for the very first workout on wednesday. the giants in scottsdale, i'm laurence scott. back to you in the stewudio. >> i can't believe we're talking baseball already. >> it's amazing. jim kozimor joins us from our sports comcast -- >> you should have your bow tie on. >> maybe tomorrow 0. happy new year. you are exactly right. let's get it rolling. hard to believe but, yes, baseball is officially back. pitchers and catchers, the oakland athletics reported to spring training today and, man, do they have a great place to do it. the backdrop there. phoenix, arizona, the green and gold. they'll be there for the next month and a half. we have someone there as well. our kate

, several giants have already made the scene including some position players like short stop brandon crawford. >> pitchers and catchers report but there are position players here. why is it so important for you to be here early? >> just to get back into the flow of things and just come and hang out with some of these guys and just kind of prepare for spring training. we have a lot of the same guys back from last year. it's like a reunion here coming back and everybody getting together and we're all real excited because like i said we have pretty much the same guys coming back. we hope to do the same thing. >> reporter: while equipment manager mike murphy and his staff were unpacking gear, the store was doing the same thing in preparation for crowds to arrive during cactus league play and work is just starting as a new season is finally upon us. >> what we did last year was awesome and great but we want to come into this year and do the exact same thing. what we did last year is over with. we got to come out here and perform well and not think that teams are going to see we won last year and j

so we get a chance to see some of the players like howard pens and brandon crawford.ember now, 21 of last year's 25 man roster is still here. that is an incredible success story. and bringing back the champions. of course nothing is guaranteed but everybody here is confident. you can check out the fans here. there is quite a number of people here, just watching the defending world champions here. this is a free day for them. the first season. the first game of the season. it begins one week from today. when the giants host the angels. right here at scottsdale stadium. and again, optimism seems to be the keynote here. and as we talked to a lot of players today. they talk about it being more of a family reunion than it is perhaps a spring training tryout situation. only three or four fringe positions are still open for somebody to come in and snag here. as the pitching staff is pretty much intact. the infield is pretty much intact. and of course, the outfield, the starting three, at least, they are still here as well. so again, if you like the 2012 giants you are going
