For the first time, the San Francisco Giants celebrated a World Series title with a victory parade through their city, and in so doing certainly established several baseball parade firsts:
- A Grateful Dead reference made by the mayor of the winning city.
- A red thong displayed by the champions’ preeminent power hitter.
- A thick scent of marijuana wafting through the air, hours after a proposition to legalize its possession was defeated by the state’s voters.
