The San Francisco Giants held their third World Series parade in five years down Market Street and downtown San Francisco on a rainy Friday afternoon.
From BatKid and Barry Bonds to Jim Harbaugh and Madison Bumgarner, it was a parade that defined the city that has started to get accustomed to championship parades.
Here are some great images from the day.
