San Francisco Giants win 2012 World Series
(CNN) -

The Giants will be riding high in ticker tape Wednesday, when San Francisco welcomes home the 2012 World Series winners. The team's colors are orange and black, so it's fitting that it is Halloween.

Festivities kick off at 11 a.m. (2 p.m. ET). The parade will begin on Market Street and stretch to the Civic Center Plaza.

For the second time in three years, the Giants claimed Major League Baseball's top prize.

Completing their sweep of the Tigers took extra innings, but the Giants prevailed 4-3 Sunday night.
