World Series Trophy Hits Marin Wednesday

The San Francisco Giants 2010 World Series Trophy will be at the San Rafael Community Center tomorrow at 10:30 a.m.

With spring training for the 2011 Major League Baseball season in full swing, it's never too late to celebrate the San Francisco Giants' whirlwind 2010 World Series championship. The World Series trophy continues its tour Wednesday when it makes its 29th stop, this time hitting the B Street Community Center in San Rafael. 

The trophy has been touring Northern California, Southern Oregon and Western Nevada with a few stops in New York City and Arizona since Jan. 4 to allow fans “to say thank you for 52 years of dedication,” said San Rafael Events Coordinator Brian Auger.

"We are honored they chose San Rafael for their Marin stop," he said. "We have a big Giants fanbase."

The trophy will be on display at the  on 618 B St. from 10:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. There is no charge to see the trophy and entrance is on a first-come-first-served basis.

Fans can pay to have professional photos taken of them posing with the trophy, and highlights of the tour will play as everyone waits in line. Big Jim's BBQ will be providing food.

There are two parking garages available on the corners of B and Third streets and A and Third streets for public use. There will be no parking at the community center or the adjacent Safeway parking lot, according to Auger. 

The trophy will be coming from Vallejo. After San Rafael, it goes on to Richmond. 

The last time the Giants won a World Series was in 1954 when they were based in New York.
