Being a Giants fan can be tough. Before 2010, our last World Series title was in 1954—when the Giants played in New York. Since then we've endured a lot, from the Loma Prieta Earthquake depriving us of the championship in '89 to the stain on Barry Bonds' legacy due to steroid use. But if there's one thing I can say about Giants fans, it's that we're loyal to our team, no matter how many years of "the torture" we've had to deal with.
