Giants raffle off 1 authentic World Series ring

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) - The San Francisco Giants are raffling off a World Series ring identical to those the players and staff received.

The proceeds will benefit the club's community service arm known as the "Giants Community Fund.'' The winner's last name will be engraved on one side of the ring, which was designed by Tiffany & Co. and features white and yellow gold with 77 diamonds weighing just under one carat.

Tickets are available at www.sfgiants.com/ringraffle. A minimum purchase of $10 is required.

Run by Celebrities for Charity, the raffle will close on July 26. The winner will be announced the next day during the telecast when the Giants play at the Philadelphia Phillies, then the recipient will be acknowledged in a ring ceremony before an Aug. 27 home game with the Houston Astros.
