Giants Celebrate 50 Years

It's been fifty years since the Giants organization ventured over to the West Coast. Excluding the past few years, there have been some great memories and many greats have passed through the clubhouse ... no World Series titles, though. To commemorate the occasion, Bruce Jenkins gives us his all-time Giants roster. Its a pretty good list, though I would have Rich Aurilla starting at short over Omar Vizquel, if we're actually factoring how they performed on the Giants. Ray Ratto adds how he thinks the next 40 will go.


It has been difficult to be a Giants fan these last several years - losing records, injuries, and bad contracts. We may be critical - but we stand by our team through good times and bad. The Giants remain one of the most storied franchises in the history of baseball and have a crop of new stars ready to add new pages to the Giants history books. Lincecum, Cain, Sanchez, Wilson and Sandoval are giving us reasons to be excited. Times may not always be stellar, but the Giants always give us something to talk about.
