Jon Favreau, Colin Hanks and other celebs tweet about Giants' World Series win

October 29, 2012

Twitter was alive Sunday night after the Giants swept away the Tigers to earn their second World Series title in three years.

Colin Hanks posted a Guitar Hero-style photo to show his excitement:

2012 WORLD SERIES CHAMPION SAN FRANCISCO GIANTS! YOU KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS!!! #tinyguitarsolo instagr.am/p/RWh0txIt0m/

Dodgers fan Rob Lowe and Tigers fan Jeff Daniels showed some bitterness toward San Francisco's win, but still managed to give shoutouts to the newly-crowned champs. Daniels even congratulated World Series Twitter foe Kevin Pollak:

Alright new Dodgers. Now you've seen what the real deal looks like. Can you be great again? Hope so. #Giants

Well, not only can you leave your heart in San Francisco, you can get swept by it, too. Congrats to @kevinpollak and all SF Fans #Giants

Retired players also gave kudos to the winners, including Dan Plesac and former Giants third baseman Rich Aurilia:

Congrats to the #SFGiants, this #worldseries was EARNED. down 0-2 to Cinn, 3-1 to STL, great display of guts,courage and "want too" !

There is no one person to praise. Total team effort. The @sfgiants organization has vaulted itself to the best organization in baseball.

No funny business, comedic actors Jon Favreau and Brian Baumgartner (Kevin from The Office, and almost related to Madison Bumgarner) were pretty straightforward in their tweets:

Congratulations to both east and west coast Giants!

Congrats to the Giants. I should have known a team with the power to take down the Dodgers would win it all.

And The Good Wife actor Josh Charles just seemed bummed Meatloaf wouldn't have a chance to sing the national anthem in the 8th and final game:

Meatloaf must be bummed the World Series ended in a sweep. I heard he was going to sing the National Anthem...for the 8th & deciding game.
