Matt hung around outside Oracle Park as fans exited for the final time in 2021.  For all the disappointment for the way it ended, two feelings were common: pride and optimism.  Pride for what the 2021 Giants accomplished.  And optimism for the bright future as the Giants emerge as one of baseball's elite teams.

Special guest: Steve Bitker, retired KCBS sports anchor and author of one of the definitive books on Giants history.
