Ever since word came out that the San Francisco Giants would have their own reality show, one burning question has been left unanswered: will it provide viewers footage of a gorgeous shirtless Andres Torres throwing cinder blocks in the air?

The answer to that question has finally been provided: Yes, yes it will.

Showtime has released a preview of its reality baseball show -- "The Franchise" -- starring our boys in black and orange, the World Series winning San Francisco Giants.

The preview shows some of the team’s most popular pitchers such as long-haired starter Tim Lincecum and bearded closer Brian Wilson, with affixed cameras to the mirrors in their cars. It shows a slimmed-down Pablo Sandoval showing off his new-found six-pack. It shows Bruce Bochy standing in a boat, reeling in what appears to be a shark.

What other gems await Giants faithful in the show’s special preview on April 13? Whatever they are, we can be sure that San Francisco will eat them up.
