Well, I considered them too, but remember that those Giants won only ONE World Series. It was in 1954, when they beat a team that everyone thought was better than they were. That was the famous 1954 Cleveland Indians, 111 wins and all. Of course, the Giants swept'em. But I still think you can't be in the running for the greatest team of all time when you were expected to lose the World Series that year. The best Giants team ever was the 1905 squad, but I had so many teams from the aughts that I decided against including them. quote:
