Giant Steps: The 2012 MLB Season & San Francisco’s Championship As It Unfolded
Now you can re-live the 2012 MLB season, from the expectations of spring, to the evolution of the playoff races to a game-by-game account of the playoffs and the San Francisco Giants ultimately claiming their second World Series title in three years.
Giant Steps is not a retroactive look at the season, but a compilation of blog posts that show how TheSportsNotebook was reacting to the season and the playoffs exactly as they unfolded. Whether it was Detroit’s early struggles, Miami’s hot May, Boston’s season-long soap opera or Philadelphia’s surprising fire sale in July and subsequent surge, you can read how it was perceived here. Was TheSportsNotebook on top of Baltimore and Oakland early or were we behind the curve? Find out.
You can laugh the wildly wrong predictions, be occasionally impressed by the analysis, but above all, you can stir up the memories of what was a fun 2012 MLB campaign.
