The World Series trophy will be available for public viewing at San Francisco City Hall this afternoon, part of a day of celebration for the Giants’ victory over the Texas Rangers.
The Commissioner’s Trophy was scheduled to arrive at City Hall at 11 a.m., and Mayor Gavin Newsom planned to hold a news conference with Giants officials shortly afterward.
The trophy will then be available for public viewing in the South Light Court at City Hall from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m., according to the mayor’s office.
While the trophy sits in City Hall, Newsom will be traveling down to the Bayview District to coach a game between two teams of the Junior Giants, a youth baseball program of the San Francisco Giants Community Fund.
Robert Cluck, the mayor of Arlington, Texas, will be coaching the other team as part of a payoff of a bet between the two cities over the World Series.
Cluck will have to don a Giants jersey during the event. He also had to send some Texas specialty food from Arlington to Newsom’s office earlier this month as part of the bet terms.
