Once a Giants fan, always a Giants fan. I sat in Candlestick Park watching Willie Mays play. That was a few years ago...

I'm not much of an American League fan, either. I think the pitcher should hit.

To the World Series. Last time they were in the Series, it was 1989. That's when the big quake hit the Bay Area.

I'm sure people remember that one!!

Like I always say, when I was a kid and I'd go play baseball, I took a bat, a ball, and a glove and I used all three.

I've always struggled with the fact that the American League ushers in a hitter to take the place of the pitcher.

I also find it exciting when the pitcher gets a hit!! Even better, a home run!!

Mr. Smith mentioned the loss in 02. I'll never forget Oakland kicking the Giants to the curb in 89!! They swept the Giants, 4-0. UGH!!

Good question. I believe it's Babe Ruth.

Overall, it's not even close. The Babe. But for everyone else, the Giants had several good ones, Mike Krukow, Don Robinson, and Rick Reuschel.

Absolutely there are. On the Giants right now, there is Madison Bumgarner and Matt Cain, both of which are good hitters. On the final day of the season when the Giants clinched the division title against the Padres, Jonathan Sanchez hit a two-run triple for the Giants first two runs of the game.

Rick Ankiel, former Cardinals pitcher, eventually became an outfielder and is now with the Braves.

The Giants TV broadcast team, Duane Kuiper and Mike Krukow are a perfect example. Krukow, a pitcher, hit 5 times as many lifetime homers as Kuiper, a second baseman and hit .314 in 1979 with the Cubs.

Livan Hernandez is another very good hitter and has hit over .300 several times.

So the answer is, "Yes."
