When the San Francisco Giants secured their spot in the 2010 World Series by defeating the Phillies Saturday night in Philadelphia, the reaction from fans back home — including those in the city’s western neighborhoods — was immediate and ecstatic. In the Sunset District, cheers, firecrackers and barking dogs could be heard in the streets.

On Twitter, the reaction from fans near Ocean Beach looked like this:

@mattfershuure: WORLD SERIES! LET’S GO GIANTS!

And although these contributions to YouTube weren’t from the Ocean Beach area, the words of reliever Brian Wilson and the prayer for the Giants were too good not to share.
