At each viewing event, fans will have the chance to have their photo taken with the 2010 and 2012 World Series trophies—created by Tiffany & Co.—and support their local Junior Giants Baseball League by optionally making a suggested $2 donation to the program.
There are, however, some guidelines for visitors to adhere to. From the Giants’ Trophy Tour webpage:
Personal Photo Policy
There have been a large number of fans attending each of the trophy viewings. The Giants intend to accommodate as many fans as possible during the viewing time period. Fans can take photos of the trophies with their personal cameras up to a designated area while waiting in line. Once fans have reached that designated area, only the professional photographers will be allowed to take a posed photo of you or your group.
Line Policy
Fans are advised to arrive early as the line will be cut off, if needed, to allow the trophies to leave at the designated end time. A Giants representative will assess and determine a cutoff point in line. A fan arriving during the designated viewing time is not automatically guaranteed a photo with the trophies. Fans are accommodated on a first-come, first-served basis.
