Notes: Molina rejects ’slump’ tag
With the trade deadline looming, I thought I would start to take a look at the players available on this year’s trade market. Of these players, Richie Sexson ranks as perhaps the most frequently linked in rumor to the Giants. Unfortunately, Sexson also ranks as one of the worst possible […]
West-winning ‘87 Giants inspired fans’ passion
First prize for the 43,001 fans would have been Barry Bonds’ 755th home run, second prize an embarrassing and painful mound implosion by Armando Benitez. The faithful had to settle for third prize, and that was pretty special, too. The Giants, down 3-2…
Dontrelle Willis didn’t look like the loser of seven straight decisions, and he definitely didn’t look like the 25-year-old version of a kid who idolized Barry Bonds, traveling from his Alameda home to Candlestick Park, taking in Giants games from a right-…
What I believe: - Barry Bonds was a certified Hall of Famer before BALCO entered his life and his bloodstream. But before Barry’s 2000-season body change, he was not being hailed, by anyone anywhere, as one of the two or three greatest hitters of all…
Cal Ripken Jr., baseball’s “Iron Man” and heretofore the embodiment of boundless energy, is tired. Dead tired. He’s running on adrenaline. And he’s anxious. Now that the six-plus months of hype building up to today’s Hall of Fame…
Who’s responsible for all the bad trade rumors? Your delivery man. A FedEx guy picked up boxes from Reggie Sanders’ home in Kansas City that he was sending to Scottsdale, Ariz., and the guy thought the Royals’ outfielder was being traded — so he called a…
The number 756 has taken on special significance in the Bay Area and in the baseball world, where it will forever be linked to Barry Bonds and Henry Aaron. But we wondered: Does 756 mean anything else to anybody else? For instance, did you know that…
Perhaps no deadline-beating deal helped a team more than Fred McGriff helped the 1993 Braves - much to the horror of Giants fans. The Padres, desperate to unload expensive veterans, shipped the 29-year-old McGriff to Atlanta for three prospects who…
A couple of Giants twists to today’s Hall of Fame ceremony … Tony Gwynn won eight batting crowns and calls his 1989 title “the toughest one.” Thanks to Will Clark, who held a .333 to .332 lead entering the season’s final series. Fittingly, the…
And now, a brief interlude for baseball with no social, cultural, ethical, statistical or political import what-so-bleedin’-ever. The news on America’s Left Fielder (which today happens to be none) can be found elsewhere in today’s soft, strong and very…
Will Clark, Robby Thompson, Kevin Mitchell and many other members of the 1987 National League West champion Giants will participate in a 20th-anniversary ceremony before today’s game. That was a landmark team, the first to win the West in 16 years, two…
Fans, alums eager for No. 755
Bonds to seek 755 in finale
First prize for the 43,001 fans would have been Barry Bonds’ 755th home run, second prize an embarrassing and painful mound implosion by Armando Benitez. The faithful had to settle for third prize, and that was pretty special, too. The Giants, down 3-2…
Henry Aaron crossed home plate in Cincinnati as Babe Ruth’s peer on April 4, 1974, and declared: “It’s almost over.” He tied the all-time home run record on his first swing of the season. Jack Billingham, the fourth-place finisher in the previous year’s Cy…
Will Clark, Robby Thompson, Kevin Mitchell and many other members of the 1987 National League West champion Giants will participate in a 20th-anniversary ceremony before today’s game. That was a landmark team, the first to win the West in 16 years, two…
Barry Bonds wanted a pitcher to challenge him. Dontrelle Willis was more than ready. Hopping off the mound, pumping his fist and throwing fastball after fastball, Willis kept history on hold Saturday night. Bonds went hitless a night after…
