Top Ten San Francisco Giants Players

The Top Ten
1 Buster Posey

Basically the best player

2 Juan Marichal

Juan's great pitching style is classic, so much so in one week that style made the cover of Sports Illustrated. He had 2,303 strikeouts and ONLY 709 walks, a strikeout-to-walk ratio of 3.25 to 1. From 1962 to 1971, his Giants averaged 90 wins a season, and Juan averaged 20 wins a season. Although he never played on a World Series champion, he was still good enough to go into Baseball's Hall of Fame in 1983.

11 Willie Mays Willie Howard Mays, Jr., nicknamed "The Say Hey Kid", is an American former Major League Baseball center fielder who spent almost all of his 22-season career playing for the New York/San Francisco Giants, before finishing with the New York Mets.

This list must have been created by people who didn't know the Giants existed before Juan Marichal.

12 Mel Ott

A great hall of fame career, here what was said on his Hall of Fame Plaque: One of few players to jump from a high school team into majors. Played outfield and third base and managed club from December 1941 through July 1948. Hit 511 homers, National League record when he retired. Also led in most runs scored, most runs batted in, total bases, bases on balls and extra bases on long hits. Had a .304 batting average. Played in eleven ALL_Star Games and in three World Series. Also in Ott's career resume he led the NL in home runs 6 times (1932, 1934, 1936-1938 and 1942), and his no. 4 is retired by today's San Francisco Giants.

13 Christy Mathewson

In the Hall of Fame's first class in 1936, HE was one of them, and a true role model for young kids and his involvement in World War I made him an American Hero.
