San Francisco Giants History
In sharp contrast to the New York years, the Giants'
fortunes in San Francisco have been mixed. Though recently the
club has enjoyed sustained success, there were also prolonged
stretches of mediocrity, along with two instances when the club's
ownership threated to move it out of San Francisco.
After a brief sojourn in Seals Stadium, the Giants
moved to Candlestick Park a stadium built on a point in San Francisco's
southeast corner overlooking San Francisco Bay. The new stadium
quickly gained a reputation for being one of the most inhospitable
in baseball, with swirling winds and cold temperatures making
for a torturous experience; the radiant heating system installed
never worked. Candlestick Park's reputation was sealed during
the 1961 All-Star Game, when gusts of wind blew pitcher Stu Miller
off the mound.
The Giants have played in three World Series since
moving to San Francisco, but have yet to win one. In 1962, they
lost 4 games to 3 to the New York Yankees, losing in the bottom
of the ninth 1-0 in a pitchers' duel when Willie McCovey's line
drive, needing to be just a single, was caught by Bobby Richardson
with the tying run on third (Matty Alou bunt single) and the winning
run on second (Willie Mays double). A failed bunt by Felipe Alou
resulted in Matty not scoring on Mays' double and started a lifelong
dedication to fundamentals. In addition, to rub salt in the wound,
Richardson was not originally positioned to catch the drive, he
only moved there (three steps to the left) in reaction to a foul
smash by McCovey on the pitch before.
The Barry Bonds era started with a bang as Barry
put up the numbers for the third MVP of his career: 46 homers,
129 runs, 123 RBI, .336/.458/.677/1.135, all career highs. This
led the Giants to a great 103-59 record in Dusty Baker's first
year as manager, which earned Dusty the Manager of the Year award.
Unfortunately, the Atlanta Braves won the NL West by one game
as the Giants, in first place much of the year, were just not
as hot as the Braves after they picked up Fred McGriff in a mid-season
trade. A late-season win streak did put the Giants in position
to determine their fate, but destiny spat in their face again
as Salomon Torres, their just called-up ace pitching prospect,
was put in the impossible position of needing a win against their
hated rivals the Dodgers, and was battered.
The period of 1994 to 1996 were not good years for
the Giants, punctuated by the Strike that Cancelled the World
Series in 1994. The strike cost Matt Williams a chance to beat
Roger Maris' single season home run record - he was on pace for
over 60 homers when the strike hit with 47 games to play. The
Giants then came in last place in both 1995 and 1996, as key injuries
and slumps hurt them. The only bright spot was Barry Bonds, highlighted
by his joining the 40-40 club with 42 homers and 40 stolen bases
in the 1996 season.
These bad times led the Giants to name Brian Sabean
as their new general manager, replacing Bob Quinn. Prior to being
named GM, he was already rumored to have engineered the deal to
get Kirk Rueter from the Expos. In his first trade as GM, he shocked
Giants fans across the world by trading Matt Williams for seemingly
a bunch of spare parts, and the reaction was great enough for
him to have to publicly explain: "I didn't get to this point
by being an idiot... I'm sitting here telling you there is a plan."
It turns out he was indeed not an idiot, as the
players he acquired in the Williams trade - Jeff Kent, Jose Vizcaino,
Julian Tavarez, and Joe Roa (plus the $1 million in cash that
enabled them to sign Darryl Hamilton) - plus the trade for J.T.
Snow enabled the Giants to win their first NL West division title
of the 1990s in 1997. Unfortunately, the Florida Marlins ended
the Giants' season with a 3-0 sweep in the first round of playoffs,
as the Marlins marched their way to their first World Series championship.
2000 was the Giants' inaugural season in Pacific
Bell Park, and after a horrendous and inauspicious 0-6 start at
their new home, they roared off to win their second NL West title
under Sabean and Baker, finishing with the best record in the
NL. They actually ended up with a great home record of 55-26,
despite the fact that lefties not named Barry Bonds had their
power cancelled by Pac Bell Park's configuration. Pac Bell Park
played like parks from olden times, boosting up doubles and especially
triples, but dampening home run power. The Giants were booted
out in the first round of playoffs by the New York Mets, however,
3 games to 1, highlighted by Edgardo Alfonzo's clutch hitting,
JT Snow's leaning 3-run homer off Armando Benitez to push game
2 into extra innings, and Bobby Jones pitching the game of his
life in game 4 to clinch the series.
Following division championships in 1997 and 2000,
the Giants reached the World Series again in 2002 as the wild
card team. As underdogs in 2002, they beat two teams who had been
thorns in the San Franciso Giants' side for much of the life of
the franchise: the Braves and the Cardinals. They first defeated
the Atlanta Braves in the NLDS 3 games to 2, and then the St.
Louis Cardinals in the NLCS 4 games to 1, to stake claim to their
first NL pennant since 1989.
The Giants faced their wild card counterparts from
the American League, the Anaheim Angels, in the 2002 World Series.
The games seesawed from well pitched games to wild affairs during
the series. The Giants evenutally took a 3-2 lead in the series
and were up 5-0 in the seventh inning of Game 6, just eight outs
away from their first championship since moving to San Francisco,
when Dusty flipped the ball to Russ Ortiz as a souvenir, angering
the Angels' players. The Angels then staged a historic rally to
win the game as the bullpen collectively fell apart (with fans
not realizing that this was Robb Nen's last appearance as a major
leaguer), and then defeated Liván Hernández in game
seven to win their first World Series in franchise history.
In 2003, the Giants recorded 100 victories for the
seventh time in franchise history and the third time in San Francisco.
With their 100-61 record, the Giants spent the entire season in
first place in the NL West. They became just the ninth wire-to-wire
winner of a division or pennant in baseball history. The previous
three were Baltimore in 1997, Cleveland in 1998, and Seattle in
2001. They lost to the wild card Florida Marlins 3 games to 1
in the 2003 National League Division Series as Ivan Rodriguez,
offensively and defensively, led the way for the Marlins to their
second World Series championship in seven seasons.
In 2004, the Giants ended the season one game behind
the Houston Astros for the wild card race, and two games behind
the Los Angeles Dodgers in the divison race. It was only the second
time this decade in which the Giants failed to make the postseason,
2001 being the other one. Once again, their hated rivals the Dodgers
prevented them from winning the division, with a stunning come-from-behind
victory on a Steve Finley grand slam. Barry Bonds received his
fourth consecutive MVP award, marking the fifth consecutive year
a Giant has received the award—Jeff Kent received it in
2000—a feat no other team has accomplished. It was also
the first time the Giants had been first or second for eight consecutive
seasons since they were first or second from 1917-1925.
What has not changed is the Giants' share of stars
gracing the field. Willie Mays, one of the last holdovers of the
New York years, thrived in San Francisco, as did Willie McCovey,
Orlando Cepeda, Felipe Alou, Gaylord Perry, Bobby Bonds, Jack
Clark, and Juan Marichal. Recent stars include Will Clark, Matt
Williams, Barry Bonds, and Jason Schmidt.
