I have never understood the fascination that Utah's have with the Giants. All my cousins in SLC grew up as Giants fans. I guess that is because they were the closest team to Utah.
Personally, I grew up with the Cardinals. Bleacher seats were only a buck in the old Sportsmans park. then Busch Stadium, and now the new Busch Stadium. Haven't been to a game in 40 years, since I moved to Utah. Last game I attended was the Series between St. Louis and Detroit in 1967. For some reason, my father got the company box seats for the games and I went to all 4. Broke my jaw in football, so skipped school and went to the games. Bob Gibson pitched 4 complete games and won them all. Beat Denny McLaine in a couple of them. Found it interesting when they made such a big deal about the Giants pitcher that won game 7, pitching in relief, plus two complete games, big deal.
