The San Francisco Giants held a "Turn Back the Century" promotion on Saturday by commemorating the 1912 season of the franchise during their game against the Chicago Cubs.
The Giants and Cubs wore throwback uniforms based on the ones the teams wore back in 1912. The Giants uniforms featured the 'NY' insignia because they played in New York back then.
Other special features of "Turn Back the Century" day included roving barbershop quartets outside the gates, stadium announcements via megaphone and music played on an organ. The scoreboard video was also turned off and peanuts were sold for 5 cents.
