Greetings:
It’s still me, Karthik Rajan, Editor in Chief of Giants Baseball Corner.
GBC has been active off and on since 2010 August. (The first post is a comprehensive take on a hilarious game from that month).
The most comprehensive season covered here would’ve been the historic winningest 107-win season, that was 2021, when I wrote about pretty much every game. Here.
I used to do The GBC Reader, which was rounding up other people’s stuff that year and adding my comments. I think that might’ve been useful to a few of you.
Last season I captured Grant McCray’s crazy squeeze bunt first AB:
Which you can find amongst videos I put on my personal YouTube channel, though we will be migrating to one of the old GBC channels.for future content.
And most recently I covered the arrival of Willy Adames, which you can read below.
Not sure what my plans are for this season, but now there’s an IG: giantsbaseballcorner and I’m going to Cactus League next week.
I’ve been looking back at some of my views that are considered terrible takes and, getting older now, am making a promise to you dear reader, to stop making this “my blog where I just dump stuff and say whatever I want complaining about my personal issues with management and media” … and will try instead to make useful interesting fresh content, like I did in the 107-win season.
BUT IF I AM MAKING THIS A JOB…
I’m going to add a buy-me-a-coffee and maybe a shop to sell some cool, original SF Giants art and photos I took.
So you could help when that time comes by picking those up. (First time I’ve ever asked such a thing, but I seek to professionalize. It’s ad hoc capitalism to give me a placeholder in our tribe).
Giants Baseball Corner Pod:
GBC will be broadcasting from the Corner at some point soon, but for now we are just setting things up there and heading to Arizona.
If anyone wants to get on board, I have budget for one more and can put you on.
Let’s Go Giants!

love,
Karthik
