The Best of the Best – Pitchers (1984-2012)

Since 1970 fans have been able to vote their favorite position players and last year Giants fans accepted the challenge and as The Sporting News put it, “MLB All-Star Game 20102: Giants fans know best; their guys lead NL rout”.  Voting has started to for the 2013 game so let’s keep the tradition going!

Between John McGraw managing the first All Star Game, to Bruce Bochy managing the next one, 88 players have represented the Giants in the Mid-Summer Classic.

From 1984 to last year the Giants had 12 All-Star pitchers, including 4 starters:

  1. Mike Krukow
  2. Rick Reuschel
  3. Jeff Brantley
  4. Rod Beck
  5. John Burkett
  6. Shawn Estes
  7. Robb Nen
  8. Jason Schmidt
  9. Tim Lincecum
  10. Brian Wilson
  11. Matt Cain
  12. Ryan Vogelsong

View Level Timeline – Part 6

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. One banner, lots of recent memories are highlighted here.

Winning the National League Division Series in Atlanta

In honor of the 2002 Team Reunion coming up on July 1 we wanted to look back at some of the great moments during the 2002 season.   Fans were excited on September 28th when Barry Bonds hit the 46th ball into McCovey Cove, but everyone erupted when Robb Nen got his 43rd save of the season that gave the Giants the NL Wild Card Championship.  But that was just the beginning. A little over a week later Tim Worrell struck out 3 batters in his 2 innings and Nen nailed down a 3-1 victory over the Atlanta Braves to win the NLCS.
