A couple of days ago, I altered the Giants and Dodgers cap logos, wondering what might’ve been had the New York Giants gone to Los Angeles, and the Brooklyn Dodgers gone to San Francisco in 1958. Frivolous fun. Not for Giants and Dodgers fans, it would seem. Here are some of the reactions culled from Twitter, Tumblr, and Facebook.

Brian Wilson: Beach Boy or Giant?
I’m a Beach Boys fan. My favourite band, by far. When I visited Los Angeles for a few days in 2008, I only reallywanted to see three things: Dodger Stadium, Angel Stadium, and Marina Del Rey, the place where Dennis Wilson died. Last year, I was clearing out some CDs, and a friend, who is in his early twenties was looking through the stuff I was keeping. He saw some Brian Wilson solo albums and bootlegs, and said, “He’s got the same name as the Giants closer!” Maybe that is where the generation gap occurs. Beach Boy or Giant? So I looked at Google Images and made a chart. And for obvious reasons that I couldn’t resist, there’s a break from the usual use of Gill Sans.
