San Francisco Giants Players Receive their 2014 World Series Rings

2014 World Series Rings; that makes Three Championships in Five years!

The San Francisco Giants players received their giant-sized, diamond-set championship rings earlier this week at a pre-game ceremony commemorating their 2014 World Series victory over Kansas City. 

The celebration offered tradition with a twist — with four skydivers parachuting into AT&T Park to deliver the first rings to Executive Vice President of Baseball Operations Brian Sabean and manager 

Bruce Bochy.

Giants announcer Duane Kuiper, spoke about the significance of the championship rings. "Baseball has many, many traditions. Many are good. Some are great. But this ring ceremony may be the very best 

of them all. It's the one thing every professional athlete wants — a championship ring. Something they can hold on to, and something they can show off,” he said.

The rings were designed and created by Tiffany & Co.  http://www.tiffany.com/   to honor the 2014 World Series winners.

The Giants issued a statement describing the rings. “The face of the championship ring features the San Francisco 'SF’ logo set in 18KT yellow gold with fifty five round melee diamonds. The featured bezel in high relief reads 'World Champions’ highlighted along both sides of the ring. The top bezel is set with three round diamonds and the bottom bezel is set with five round diamonds, representing the three championships in the last five years and the eight total franchise world championships. One side of the ring features the player’s name and number with the iconic Golden Gate Bridge. The other side celebrates the franchise’s three recent World Series trophies.”

"We are thrilled to celebrate with the City of San Francisco and the Giants http://sanfrancisco.giants.mlb.com/ on another championship season," said Victoria Reynolds, group director of business sales for Tiffany & Co. “We are honored to have created the last three championship rings, which pay tribute to the Giants' dedication and performance on and off the field."

Second baseman Joe Panik proudly shared a photo in which he and his fiancée, Brittany Pinto, posed with his 2014 World Series bling. He captioned the photo, "What a special day! So proud to be a Giant!"

"It was a big day today with the guys getting their rings," noted Giants manager Bruce Bochy. “They all loved them, too. They're beautiful rings; it's just a great night. It was good to see these guys smiling, and it reminded them that they are the World Champions."
