When your team wins the World Series, one of the cool things for the fans is the Trophy Tour.
When the San Francisco Giants won the World Series in 2010 fans waited for hours in order to take a photo with the trophy.
The 2012 Trophy Tour dates were just announced. The tour will begin in Sacramento in early January and ends in Tracy in March of next year. There is a stop in Tuscon during spring training and New York City where the team got its start.
"It was really important to us this time, given a second opportunity, to create a trophy tour which allowed us to connect with our fans as well as the more than 20,000 kids who participate in our Junior Giants baseball program," said Larry Baer, Giants president and chief operating officer.
This time the tour will include both the 2012 and 2010 trophies.
Fans will have the chance to both have their photo taken with the trophies and support their local Junior Giants Baseball League.
The trophy has already made some rounds to certain stake holders. The photo below shows the 2012 trophy making a visit to NBC Bay Area's holiday party. Season ticket holders were invited to AT&T last weekend for a photo.
The below dates are for the public tour.
