Where were you 10 years ago?

And 52 years later, on Nov. 1, 2010, the Giants won their first World Series since moving to the Bay Area.
It was magical. And it was clinched just as it should: with a win from Tim Lincecum, who struck out 10 while allowing just one run in eight innings. And with a save from Brian Wilson.
It never, ever, ever gets old. Even 10 years later, it feels sensational.
All championships are special, but there’s something a little extra memorable about the first. You probably won’t ever forget it.
So where were you?
