I’m also passionate about making Bay Area history and culture more accessible to a broad public. • I’ve been a journalist for most of my life, starting in high school with The Franklin Press in Los Angeles, where I grew up. While earning my first degree in English at UC Berkeley, I got my start in public radio at KALX-FM. After completing a second degree in journalism at Cal, I landed my first professional job at Marketplace, then moved on to KPCC (now LAist), and then KQED, where I hosted The California Report for more than seven years. • My reporting has appeared on NPR, The World, WBUR’s \u003ci>Here & Now\u003c/i>, and the BBC. I also guest host for KQED’s \u003ci>Forum\u003c/i>, as well as the Commonwealth Club in San Francisco. • I speak periodically on media, democracy and technology issues, and do voiceover work for documentaries and educational video projects. • Outside of the studio, you'll find me hiking Bay Area trails and whipping up Insta-ready meals in my kitchen. • I do not accept gifts, money, or favors from anyone connected to my reporting, I don't pay people for information, and I do not support or donate to political causes. • I strive to treat the people I report on with fairness, honesty, and respect. I also recognize there are often multiple sides to a story and work to verify information through multiple sources and documentation. If I get something wrong, I correct it.",

Stay tuned for a gallery of images from today's parade -- they'll be up shortly.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On the way back, I noted three people in Buster Posey jerseys. I think the franchise might just have a new face.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Speaking of Posey, I was surprised at what a natural public speaker he is -- is there anything this guy can't do?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As a Giants fan, I feel extremely lucky to have been able to cover today's event. I don't know that I'll ever forget the enormity of the crowd or the sweet sound of Jon Miller's voice. Or Aubrey Huff pulling a \u003ca href=\"http://network.yardbarker.com/mlb/article_external/aubrey_huff_wearing_a_red_thong_as_a_slump_buster/3174661\" target=\"_blank\">rally-thong\u003c/a> from his pants (it's always the quiet ones).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I'm looking forward to getting home and calling my mom to talk about what we saw -- she was one of the fans who lined up along the route at 7 a.m. And as Larry Baer, Brian Sabean, and so many other folks mentioned today -- I'm grateful that she introduced me to this crazy, wonderful sport in this crazy, wonderful city.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>See you next spring.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>2:25 p.m.\u003c/strong> Fans are standing, a bit in awe, not quite sure what to do next. As Jon Miller said, \"See you at the yard.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>2:14 p.m.\u003c/strong> \"I Left My Heart in San Francisco\" is playing, the cue that the ceremony is over. But the crowd does not seem to be leaving, or maybe they can't.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>2:11 p.m.\u003c/strong> Jon Miller closes by leading the crowd to chant, \"Let's go Giants!\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Streamers pour down from the top of city hall. Torres pipes in to wish his wife a happy birthday. Miller quips that this was her birthday party, and he can't wait to go to next year's party.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>2:07 p.m.\u003c/strong> Now it's the batters' turn. Buster Posey speaks first, didn't expect that. Freddie Sanchez thanks God in his speech, first player to do so. He gets an \"aww\" from the audience.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>2:03 p.m.\u003c/strong> Cain, Wilson, and Lincecum go up to the podium. Everything gets loud.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Wilson thanks the mayor, and says that he's not up for the job, but he knows a man who is: \"Where's the Machine?\" The camera pans to Lincecum. Classic.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lincecum's speech is short and sweet.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The crowd becomes silent in reverence for the pitchers. Cain speaks last -- neither he nor Zito has cut their hair. Maybe a trip to the barber's shop will be their first post-season team outing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>1:59 p.m.\u003c/strong> Spanish-speaking players take the stage. Torres addresses the crowd in English and Spanish. I wonder if Uribe ever gets sick of his cheer. He must not, because he just egged it on. Renteria and Uribe thank the fans in Spanish.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>1:59 p.m.\u003c/strong> Sabean thanks fans for the support, says that their presence was felt and that the trophy belongs to them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>1:49 p.m.\u003c/strong> People are setting off fireworks in the street.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sabean gets much love from the fans -- oh how quickly we forget. He simply says \"We deserve this.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Overheard in the crowd: \"This is probably the closest thing to a Beatles concert that I'll experience.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>1:48 p.m.\u003c/strong> People are scaling Bill Graham Civic Auditorium trying to get a view. Others are sitting in trees.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Larry Baer is referencing the old days: Marichal, Cepeda, and Candlestick Park.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>1:46 p.m.\u003c/strong> Just ran into some of the grounds crew.

But the crowd does not seem to be leaving, or maybe they can't.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>2:11 p.m.\u003c/strong> Jon Miller closes by leading the crowd to chant, \"Let's go Giants!\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Streamers pour down from the top of city hall. Torres pipes in to wish his wife a happy birthday. Miller quips that this was her birthday party, and he can't wait to go to next year's party.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>2:07 p.m.\u003c/strong> Now it's the batters' turn. Buster Posey speaks first, didn't expect that. Freddie Sanchez thanks God in his speech, first player to do so. He gets an \"aww\" from the audience.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>2:03 p.m.\u003c/strong> Cain, Wilson, and Lincecum go up to the podium. Everything gets loud.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Wilson thanks the mayor, and says that he's not up for the job, but he knows a man who is: \"Where's the Machine?\" The camera pans to Lincecum. Classic.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lincecum's speech is short and sweet.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The crowd becomes silent in reverence for the pitchers. Cain speaks last -- neither he nor Zito has cut their hair. Maybe a trip to the barber's shop will be their first post-season team outing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>1:59 p.m.\u003c/strong> Spanish-speaking players take the stage. Torres addresses the crowd in English and Spanish. I wonder if Uribe ever gets sick of his cheer. He must not, because he just egged it on. Renteria and Uribe thank the fans in Spanish.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>1:59 p.m.\u003c/strong> Sabean thanks fans for the support, says that their presence was felt and that the trophy belongs to them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>1:49 p.m.\u003c/strong> People are setting off fireworks in the street.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sabean gets much love from the fans -- oh how quickly we forget.

They walked in the parade and are sitting in the VIP area.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>1:43 p.m.\u003c/strong> Neukom says it's \"a great day to be a Giants fan.\" I would say it's a great month.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>1:38 p.m.\u003c/strong> Newsom is loving this. He opens with \"the torture is over.\" He presents the key to Neukom. The crowd applauds. I have to admit, that key is a lot smaller than I was expecting ... maybe 10 inches big.

More on the schwag --forgot to mention there are balloons floating around that say \"Presented in Dolby Digital.\" Believe they're referring to the large screens on either side of city hall -- they're broadcasting player and coach interviews now and one can only assume they will broadcast the parade when it starts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>10:18 a.m. \u003c/strong>Let's talk \u003ca href=\"http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=schwag\" target=\"_blank\">schwag\u003c/a>. A few folks in official-looking black t-shirts busted out boxes of rally rags (no cursed pompoms here). When the guys handing out the towels moved from the crowd to the press area, the crowd revolted, chanting \"We Want Towels, We Want Towels...\" Makes me scared of what they're going to yell at Barry Zito.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>10:06 a.m.\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If you're planning on watching the Giants' victory parade, you better get here fast. Civic Center plaza is already barricade-to-barricade with people. I heard from folks at Montgomery and California that a crowd formed as early as 7 a.m.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For those of you who can't get out of work (or perhaps are simply averse to crowds), we'll be live blogging the parade. We'll send you photos, observations, and we'll even tell you what Brian Wilson is wearing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The parade route from downtown's financial district to the Civic Center will follow the same one taken by the Giants when they first came to San Francisco from New York in 1958.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mayor Gavin Newsom (and common sense) is encouraging people to take public transit. The Bay Area Rapid Transit system is planning to run longer trains on all lines and is urging riders to buy roundtrip tickets to avoid lines.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Golden Gate Ferry is planning to use extra ferries capable of carrying 715 passengers to shuttle fans from Marin County into the city.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>View a \u003ca href=\"http://sf311.org/index.aspx?page=755\" target=\"_blank\">map of the route\u003c/a> at sf311.org.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Add Madison Bumgarner, the 21-year-old rookie who helped blank Texas in Game 4.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>San Francisco posted a trio of one-run wins in the opening round that sent Atlanta manager Bobby Cox into retirement, then stopped the two-time defending NL champion Phillies in the championship series. Those wins, like this, came on the road.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Texas became the latest Series newcomer to make a quick exit. Houston (2005) and Colorado (2007) got swept in their first appearances, Tampa Bay (2008) stuck around for just five games.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The AL champion Rangers became the first team since 1966 to get shut out twice in a World Series, with big hitters Hamilton, Vladimir Guerrero and Cruz left taking half-swings or flailing wildly.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hamilton, the probable AL MVP, went 2 for 20 with one RBI.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We just got cold at the wrong time with the bats,'' he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Rangers' franchise wrapped up its 50th season overall, in good hands with Nolan Ryan as president and part-owner. If only Big Tex could teach his team to hit, too.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Many years ago, one swing of the bat prompted a call that resonates throughout Giants history and beyond.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The Giants win the pennant! The Giants win the pennant! The Giants win the pennant!'' announcer Russ Hodges shouted over and over after Bobby Thomson launched \"The Shot Heard 'Round the World'' in 1951.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
