The San Francisco Giants team won the World Series Wednesday, and fans are still marveling at the seventh game that gave them the 3-2 victory over the Kansas City Royals.

The Giants have now won three championships in the past five years.

"I knew they were going to win. It's the Giants. They do this all the time," Barbra Norris, a San Francisco native, said of the odds-defying victory.

Crowds poured into the streets Wednesday night, lighting bonfires and dancing with strangers. People grew rowdy in some areas later on into the night. One person reported being shot in the arm, but the wound wasn't life threatening, police spokesman Gordon Shyy said. San Francisco police officers made "a handful of arrests" over the night in the area within walking distance of AT&T Park.

According to Shyy, authorities tried to move celebrants out of the streets.

The San Francisco City Hall became an outdoor arena, where more than 9,000 people gathered to watch the game on a Jumbotron set up by the city. Vendors sold food, but not beer, as the onlookers sat in a plaza.

"You come out here to feel the pulse of the city. When it's the seventh game, you want to get the vibe," Geoff Goselin, 61, told The Associated Press as he tried to view the screen between a row of sycamore trees.

The group chanted "Let's Go, Giants" whenever the Royals fans 1,800 miles away in Kansas City were seen on TV rooting for their respective team. Meanwhile, Giants star Madison Bumgarner was welcomed to the field each inning with an "M-V-P" chant from the viewers.

"Bumgarner is the beast, the man," 41-year-old Aden Bacus said. "I'd be lying if I told you I wasn't nervous there at the end."
