Giant All Star Memories
Tonight, the achievements of Tim Lincecum and Brian Wilson will be celebrated at the All Star Game - and they are soaking it all in. In a season that has been filled with disappointment, having two representatives both of whom represent the team's future is quite an achievement. Hopefully, new memories will be made, but here is a look back at some of our favorite Giant All Star Memories...
2007: It is pretty hard to top attending the 2007 Home Run Derby at AT&T Park, after a decade and a half of watching the competition. We had a good seat to see Barry Bonds take batting practice. That is the ultimate All Star memory for me.
2003: Jason Schmidt starts and throws two shutout innings, redeeming a rather negative history of SF starters in All Star Games.
2002: Bonds gets robbed of a homer but later hits one, while Benito Santiago makes the final out, ending the contest in a tie!
2001: Three Giants in the starting lineup (Bonds, Jeff Kent, Rich Aurilla).
1998: Bonds hits first All Star Game home run.
1996: Bonds bests Mark McGwire in a pre-Steroid Era Home Run Derby. Still my favorite derby.
1995 and 1996: Cheering for Matt Williams even though he was unable to play due to injury.
1993: First time I remember watching the Home Run Derby - Bonds hits five.
