Willie Mays
The Say Hey Kid is widely regarded as the greatest all-around player in baseball history, a two-time MVP with 660 home runs. His over-the-shoulder catch in the 1954 World Series remains the most famous defensive play ever made.
Barry Bonds
Baseball's all-time home run king with 762, Bonds won a record seven MVP awards, five of them in San Francisco. His 2001 season of 73 home runs stands as the single-season record.

Willie McCovey
Stretch McCovey was one of the most feared sluggers of his generation, winning the 1969 MVP and hitting 521 career home runs. The cove beyond the San Francisco outfield wall is named McCovey Cove in his honor.

Juan Marichal
The Dominican Dandy featured a signature high leg kick and pinpoint control, winning 238 games for the Giants. A ten-time All-Star, he was one of the dominant pitchers of the 1960s.

Buster Posey
The leader of the even-year dynasty, Posey won Rookie of the Year, an MVP, and three championships behind the plate. His steady presence and clutch hitting defined the greatest era in San Francisco history.
Mel Ott
Master Melvin was the first National League player to reach 500 home runs, all with the New York Giants. His distinctive leg-kick swing produced 511 homers over a 22-year career spent entirely with the franchise.

Christy Mathewson
One of the first five players elected to the Hall of Fame, Mathewson won 373 games and threw three shutouts in the 1905 World Series. His fadeaway pitch and gentlemanly reputation made him an early icon of the game.

Orlando Cepeda
The Baby Bull won Rookie of the Year in the Giants' first San Francisco season and became a fan favorite. A powerful run producer, he made seven All-Star teams during his time by the bay.
