The Franchise: Season 1

The Franchise- thumbs up
A season with the San Francisco Giants. Even though the Giants didn't repeat as World Champs this DVD was a great winter time watch. For those of us who love baseball and need a winter time dose this was just right. This DVD showed the inter workings of the clubhouse, homes of some of the individual players. It also showed the players' and their families' thoughts about life in and out of baseball. This DVD showed the devastating injuries that befell the 2011 Giants and what the front office thought and how they tried to work through the adversity. I will give the DVD a thumbs up.

The Franchise
Big SF Giants fan, loved this. Can't find on netflix so was happy i could order and keep for my collection

I only wish it was available on blu-ray
I watched this on Showtime this summer and it was EXCELLENT! I'm so glad it's finally available so I can delete it from my DVR. In the first hour, I both cried and laughed so hard I cried. Tip: don't stop or fast forward through the end credits of the first episode, Brian "The Beard" Wilson will have you rolling on the floor laughing. As funny as he is, I think Ryan Vogelsong's story is the best. Overall, I think this was a fascinating inside look at the Giants organization; a must have for any fan. Even the bandwagon ones like me. :)
