San Francisco Giants Victory Parade November 3, 2010

The Giants are getting ready to party like it's 1958.

The parade route taken when the Giants were welcomed to The City by the Bay will be used once again, this time when the World Series trophy is welcomed to City Hall.

San Francisco city officials announced following the Giants' Game 5 victory over the Rangers in Texas on Monday night that a parade honoring the team will be held at 11 a.m. PT Wednesday, starting at the intersection of Montgomery and Washington streets and heading southbound on Market Street to Civic Center Plaza.

The parade honoring the 2010 World Series champions will conclude on the steps of City Hall, where Mayor Gavin Newsom will present the team with the key to the city.

The Giants clinched the first World Series title since the team moved to San Francisco in 1958 with a 3-1 victory over the Rangers, with ace Tim Lincecum throwing eight innings and Brian Wilson -- sporting his best "Fear the Beard" facial hair -- sealing the deal in the ninth inning.

In the 1958 parade, fans packed the streets to welcome the Giants to the West Coast after they and the Dodgers made the move from New York City. The Giants re-created the parade in 2008 on the occasion of the team's 50th anniversary in San Francisco, and Hall of Famers Willie Mays and Orlando Cepeda joined the festivities.
