Review
and#147;The third collaboration of Giants lore by KNBRand#8217;s Brian Murphy and photographer Brad Mangin, and#147;Championship Blood,and#8221; is an absolute gem. Murphy wrote crisp 500-word essays, Mangin produced his signature collection (nobody shoots the game quite like him) and the irrepressible Tim Flannery wrote a very cool afterword.and#8221; - Bruce Jenkins, San Francisco Chronicle
