My WAR calculation is a combination of Baseball-reference and Clay Davenport; I believe it to be the "best" WAR number available for historical comparison. 8 WAR is an MVP quality season. The record is pythagorean adjusted for 162 games.

-Peter Magowan leads a new ownership group that keeps the team in San Francisco, former Giant Dusty Baker becomes the team's new manager, the Giants draw over 2.5 million, their franchise record, the 98 pythag wins matches the record of the '62 pennant winners, Will Clark finishes up, the Giants are knocked out of the pennant race on the last day of the season by the Dodgers.
Oh, and Barry Bonds signs. And hits the league for 10 WAR.
