World Series MVP Edgar Renteria was given his championship ring before his first game in San Francisco since helping the Giants win it all last fall. Renteria was honored in a pregame ceremony Thursday night before the series opener between the Giants and Cincinnati Reds. Renteria left the Giants in the offseason when the team opted to pay a $500,000 buyout instead of a $9.5 million option. He ended up signing a $2.1 million deal with the Reds. Renteria spent two years with the Giants, with his biggest impact coming in the World Series. He batted .412 against Texas with two homers and six RBIs. His biggest blow was a three-run homer in Game 5 off Cliff Lee in a 3-1 win that gave the Giants their first title since 1954.
