Buster Posey was awarded the Willie Mac Award on Friday, September 21 during a pregame ceremony.  The Willie Mac Award is the most special award a Giant can receive because it is voted on by Giants teammates, coaches and trainers, fans, and Willie Mac himself.  Buster was joined by former winners, Mike Krukow (1985 and 1986), J.T. Snow (1997 and 2004), Dave Dravecky (1989), Shawon Dunston (1996), Mike Felder (1992), Matt Cain (2009), Mark Garder (2001) and, of course, Willie McCovey to receive this prestigious award.

View Level Timeline – Part 4

In 2008, to celebrate our 50th anniversary in San Francisco  we installed a timeline on the View Level at the ballpark which highlighted some of our great players and amazing moments.  We know that all of our fans are not able to come to a game at the park, or those who do may not be old enough to remember some of our alumni.  For this road trip we decided to showcase the timeline and give everyone a bit more information about the moments. Everything from 1987 to 1999 is on the banners for today.
