Sure, the San Francisco Giants victory celebration on Friday didn’t have Brian Wilson walking the parade route like it a few years back…but I’m pretty sure diehard fans are fine with that.
Instead, the throng of people that lined Market Street were treated to Giants players (both past and present), Hunter Pence and his new WWE Championship belt, Steve Perry (naturally) and, wait for it…Metallica.

Really? Train?!? As you could imagine fans were none too pleased.
Wait, Metallica is backstage at the Giants’ celebration, and we get Train? Eww, it’s like diet Halloween candy.
