San Francisco Giants

Charles Schwab and the Giants both call San Francisco their home – and both boast a rich history.

• 1971: Chuck Schwab incorporated his firm in California; six months later, the Giants won their first division title despite having neither a .300 hitter nor a 20-game winner.

• 1975: The Schwab discount brokerage was born; so was Pedro Feliz. It was also the year when Ed Halicki threw the Giants' third – and most recent – no-hitter.

• 1987: Schwab completed its initial public offering, and the Giants won their division.

• 1989: Schwab and the Giants both survived the Loma Prieta earthquake, but the Giants fell short in their first World Series in nearly three decades.

• 1993: During Barry Bonds' first season with the Giants, Schwab posted a target sign in right field reading "stocks, mutual funds, bonds" with the word "bonds" squarely in the bulls-eye.

• 2002: Schwab Equity Ratings made its debut, and new manager Felipe Alou took the Giants to the bank as the ninth team in Major League history to lead their division start to finish. It was also the year when Schwab aired a TV commercial featuring Barry Bonds and Hank Aaron in which Aaron playfully urged Bonds to "step into retirement" to preserve his all-time home run record.

As a long time Giants sponsor, Schwab currently supports its hometown team through advertising on the centerfield sign and in Giants Magazine. Schwab also sponsors "game notes" in the luxury suites, featuring a Talk to Chuck™ baseball-themed message during every game.
