	EEEEEE! Looks at Books: A Flag for San Francisco
		Even though A Flag for San Francisco does not give anywhere near adequate coverage to the actual pennant-winning season, it is still a nice window back to the starting point of the last clearly successful decade for the Giants' franchise.
		Charles Einstein was the Giants' beat writer for the San Francisco Examiner in their early days in San Francisco, and this book consists of extracts from his daily newspaper articles, along with some commentary and behind the scenes stories of clubhouse goings-on.
		But in the end, A Flag for San Francisco in its own way embodies the enduring irony of the Giant fan's existence: in a book supposedly all about the team winning a pennant, the best the Giants could do was finish third.

	Encyclopedia of San Francisco
		In the ninth inning of the 1961 All-Star Game, Giants pitcher Stu Miller was actually blown off the pitching mound by a strong gust, forcing a balk which took the game into extra innings (the National League eventually won 5-4).
		The original Victorian house there, 3100 Jackson, designed by J. Cather Newsom in 1892, had burned down a year later, to be replaced in 1898 by a second one, designed by Samuel Newsom and Frederick Meyer.
		Retractable seats were added in right field to allow the conversion to a football field for the 49'ers, who played their first game there on October 10, 1971.

	EEEEEE! Looks at Books: A Flag for San Francisco
		The 1961 team does not really seem as good as the names on the roster might lead you to believe, because several early season starters (such as McCovey and the rookies Tom Haller and Chuck Hiller, among others) had not yet come into their own and the pitching was pretty thin.
		Much was made in the book of the Giants' lack of "fight," and Dark's attempts to eradicate that deficiency.
