What is your favorite Giant of all time ?

Jul 25, 2009 at 12:15 AM
Just curious to see what your favorites are.Personally I am going with Willie Mays great player and he is a great ambassador of Giants baseball. He is always at the park teaching our just answering questions the young guys have also ever notice everywhere he goes even on AIRFORCE 1 he is always got a Giants hat on.

Will Clark all the way!! The way he came into the league was amazing. Homering off the great Nolan Ryan in his first MLB at bat. What a way to make a debut. he was "Will The Thrill" from that point on.

Being able to watch Bonds play every day for the length of time we had him was amazing. Clark is a very close 2nd. And Jeff Leonard was the first player I really rooted for growing up.

I was never alive to watch Willie Mays. But I'm sure if I was, he would be my favorite.

But I sat there and watched Barry in absolute awe for a majority of my lifetime. '

I don't give two sh**s about steroids or anything like that. Barry is the greatest left handed hitter of all time.

I dont know about "what" is my favorite Giant. However, if you were to ask me WHO is my favorite Giant, my response would be WIllie Mays. He was head and shoulders above any other Giant in overall talent. I feel lucky to have watched the best player ever.

Bonds for sure

Will Clark is my favorite Giant of all time. I followed him throughout his career after leaving the Giants. Always found myself cheering for the other teams he played for. Can't say i had the opportunity to watch Mays play though. My Dad did, so I always ask him questions about the great Willie Mays.

Barry Bonds is my 2nd favorite after Clark followed by Robby Thompson.

WHAT? is on second.

WHO? is on first.

I DON'T KNOW'S on Third.

I do know my favorite Giant of all time and it's Bonds. BOBBY BONDS.

Always compared to and suffering from the Mays comparisons he still was one of the most feared leadoff men of his time and it's somewhat scary what he could have done were it not for a well known excessive lifestyle and without the ever growing chip on his shoulder he developed when becoming the Reggie Sanders journeyman of his latter career.

He also hit a leadoff homer at my first Giants game and turned me from a follower of my father's team in to a genuine Giant's fan. I made my Dad by me his poster before leaving and I still have it in the garage.

I also loved Will but he couldn't replace Bobby because I have alway been for the underdog he was far to confident to ever be.

I still think of him when the pest control commercial ends with "Clark, we need you!" I'm glad he's out at the yard this year.

Schmidt, Lincecum, Cain are very close behind.

Overall I think it is a toss up. Clark and Bonds. But there are so many good ones. Both the Willies, Matty, Nen, I think that Panda is climbing quickly up that list too along with Cain and Timmay! But my true second has to be Armando Benitez! He was awesome and so worth the $1 million a save he earned!
