Hundreds of the unsophisticated, bedecked in orange and black, patiently waited in downtown Redwood City for a chance to be photographed with the Giants' 2010 and 2012 World Series trophies.
We arrived at 10 a.m., but there was no need to have been early. The line moved quickly, especially since no fan cameras were allowed inside the tent. The photographer took our picture in under a minute, and we bought a souvenir print.
No magic powers were in evidence after we left. In 2012 the Giants faced six elimination games in the National League playoffs and won each one before sweeping the Tigers in the World Series. That was magic enough.
