Writing the 2024 season’s epitaph
The San Francisco Giants didn’t accomplish their offseason goal of squeaking in as the third Wild Card and for the 5th time in 6 seasons we will be looking back and wondering how it will all be remembered.
2019 was pretty obvious: Bye Bye Bochy.
2020 was all about avoiding epitaphs in the literal sense: mask up! Hope your home run ball splits one of the cardboard fans!
2021 could be summarized by Improbable. Or unbelievable. Simply amazing. Never to be repeated. Or just “107.” Of course, that season also ended with a loss to the Dodgers in the playoffs, an outcome so embarrassing and painful that I’m actually good with never seeing the Giants in the playoffs again.
