Giants Fans: Are you for Real or are you on the bandwagon! Take the Quiz!

For all of those who didn't know, or I guess didn't want to know, our friendly kind-of-rivals from the north, the San Francisco Giants, will be bracing us with their presence this weekend at Petco Park.

Congrats on your 2012 title, really. You caused the Tigers to ultimately collapse and hand you four straight games. 2 in 3 years awfully impressive.

But how many of you Giants fans have been around since pre, lets say, pre-2010, before title #1?

Do you remember players like Will Clark, Matt Williams, Jeff Kent, Kirk Rueter and J.T. Snow just to name a few. I would know them because I have actually paid attention to baseball in Northern California after 2002 and before 2010.

So, let us test your knowledge. Do you really have what it takes to be a real Giants fan or are you just on the wagon until the tire busts? I'll serve you up some easy ones.
