36 Year Old Rookie A Great Story

One of the best stories of September thus far for the Giants has been the success of Scott McClain. McClain is a rookie - like most of the Giants lineup these days. Only what separates McClain from the rest of the pack is that he is 36. Seeing only limited Major League time in his career, McClain has thrived at lower levels - in the minors and in Japan, he accumulated a total of 362 home runs and 1,280 RBIs. Last Wednesday in Colorado, he finally achieved his first homer in the majors. On Saturday, he added another, with a two-run homer against Pittsburgh that also gave the Giants the lead. McClain may not be a key figure in the Giants future plans, but it is still exciting to see him achieve a dream after two decades of hard work and tough breaks.

Staying Loyal


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.
