Chris Haft

Chris Haft is MLB.com’s beat writer for the San Francisco Giants, and has been covering the team since 2005, after growing up as a Northern Californian worshipping in the Giants’ cold, windy temple of Candlestick Park. He’s been covering Major League Baseball full-time for most of the past twenty years. He lives in the Bay area.

For Chris, the joy of covering the Giants’ championship season includes seeing on a day-to-day basis, “The continued emergence of Andres Torres ... the guts of Freddy Sanchez ... the fire of Brian Wilson ... the purity of Buster Posey ... the hilarity of Aubrey Huff ... the wisdom of Bruce Bochy ... the quiet dignity of Edgar Renteria ... the resourcefulness and, in the end, sheer excellence of Tim Lincecum. In other words, I could go on and on.”

“The 2010 Giants were a team of incredible emotion and sacrifice driven together by a goal that had never been achieved in their great city. Haft and Alan’s insightful journey allows you a look into the story that was forged by an incredible chemistry of unselfishness and sacrifice.”
– Giants broadcaster Mike Krukow
