- Lot Description
In Major League Baseball, the closer has a thankless job. Take the ball in the 9th inning in a tight contest and get the toughest three outs of the game. Under intense pressure, he is expected to come through and preserve the win no matter what. Convert 20 straight saves and fans barely notice. Blow one and they call for his head. Relief specialists Rollie Fingers, Goose Gossage, and Dennis Eckersley refined the role in the 1970s and 80s with a masterful combo of mustaches and mojo, bringing a level of intimidation emulated by many modern-day closers. Then came Brian Wilson, whose thick black beard, mohawk, tattoos and jacked physique on the mound – along with his deadpan humor off it – made for a true 1-of-1 beloved in the City by the Bay and remembered by all.
Drafted by the San Francisco Giants in 2003 out of LSU, the 6’ 1” flame-thrower developed into a reliever reliable enough for manager Bruce Bochy to give him the closer’s job in 2008. Over the next four seasons, “B-Weezy” saved 163 games (most in MLB in that span) and earned three NL All-Star nods. Most importantly, he helped the Giants snap a 56-year title drought in 2010 and win their first World Series in San Francisco. For longtime fans of the Orange and Black, two moments from that magical campaign will live in infamy: Wilson striking out Ryan Howard looking to end the NLCS; and #38 blowing a fastball by Nelson Cruz for the final out of the Fall Classic.
The “Fear the Beard” mantra became a pop culture phenomenon in the Bay Area and beyond. Interviews with the local and national media (particularly Jim Rome) were must-see. Nobody knew what the colorful character would say or do next. In 2011, decked out in a full LSU football uni, Wilson went on ESPN’s College GameDay as the Tigers' celebrity picker. After picking up his second World Series ring with the Giants in 2012, Wilson played his final two seasons with the Dodgers and settled in Los Angeles after retirement. SCP is excited to present the Brian Wilson Collection in this auction with all items coming straight from B-Weezy himself.
Featured here is Wilson’s San Francisco Giants 2012 World Series Champions ring. Made of 14-karat white and yellow gold by Tiffany & Company, it pays tribute to the Giants’ unprecedented six straight elimination game victories in the NLDS (down 0-2 to Reds) and NLCS (down 1-3 to Cards) before their sweep of the Tigers in the Fall Classic. The face spells out "SF" in 52 round melee diamonds on a bed of approximately 80 more smaller diamonds. Above and below is a bezel reading "WORLD CHAMPIONS." Seven large round diamonds on both the left and right sides of the face represent the organization's seven World Series titles. The top and bottom sides under the bezels each have ten round diamonds representing the 2010 title. The left and right sides above the shanks each have twelve round diamonds representing the 2012 title. The left shank has “WILSON” with the year "2012” flanking a cable car, an iconic symbol of San Francisco. The right shank has the results of their three 2012 postseason series results: "SFG 4 - DET 0, SFG 4 - STL 3, SFG 3 - CIN 2." Hallmarked inside the band is “TIFFANY & CO. AU 585” denoting its 14-karat gold content. Boasting nearly 200 individual cut diamonds in all, this beautiful ring comes in size 9 and weighs 72 grams.
This coveted championship ring represents the Giants' second title in San Francisco. It shows minimal wear and displays exceptionally well, coming with its original black presentation box (5x5x2.5”) with a gold-embossed "October 28, 2012” and SF 2012 World Champions logo. Includes signed letter of provenance from Brian Wilson.
