Three items, kind of Giants related:

Tony Bennett's Hall of Fame Hits. Nice period picture of him at what I think is Kezar Stadium on the back. The Giants hat he is wearing is the type they sold early on, with a square SF patch.

A lunchbox from what sounds to be a pretty bad sitcom that ran for one year 1981-82. Mr. Merlin is an immortal, living in SF and posing as an auto mechanic. A kid working at the garage pulls a crowbar out of hardened cement (ala Arthur's sword) and Mr. Merlin reveals himself (no, not like that ) and makes the kid his apprentice.

Finally, one of DeNiro's worst ever movies but one I love, nonetheless. It is basically the Barry Bonds Story. DeNiro and Snipes are way over the top and the baseball scenes are so inaccurate I've wondered if that was intentional. For those who haven't seen it, DeNiro is an obsessed stalker. When he finally meets Bobby Rayburn (Snipes), DeNiro plays dumb. Rayburn asks, "Don't you know who I am?" DeNiro hems and haws and then says, "Barry Bonds?" So bad it's good.
