Retiring a number is the Giants' highest honor, a way of saying that a player's contributions were so extraordinary that no one should ever wear that number again. These are the men whose legacies are permanently woven into the fabric of Giants baseball.
#21 - Jeff Kent (Hall of Fame)
Jeff Kent brought a gritty, no-nonsense energy to the Giants lineup that fans absolutely loved. Over his career he drove in 1,518 runs and hit 377 home runs, numbers that stand as a testament to his remarkable consistency as one of the most productive second basemen the game has ever seen. The Giants retired number 21 to honor a player who showed up every day ready to compete and who made every teammate around him better.
Career: 2,298 G · .290 AVG · 377 HR · 1,518 RBI · 2,461 H

#22 - Will Clark
Will Clark, known simply as "The Thrill" to generations of Giants fans, was one of the most electric hitters to ever step into the batter's box at Candlestick Park. He posted a career batting average of .303 and collected 2,176 hits as a Giant, and his intense, focused approach at the plate made him the heart and soul of San Francisco baseball through the late 1980s and early 1990s. Retiring number 22 was the perfect way for the Giants to honor a player whose passion for winning mirrored that of the fans who cheered him on.
Career: 1,976 G · .303 AVG · 284 HR · 1,205 RBI · 2,176 H

#24 - Willie Mays (Hall of Fame)
Willie Mays is simply the greatest Giant who ever lived, and many would argue he is the greatest baseball player of all time. He hit 660 home runs, drove in 1,903 runs, and batted .302 over the course of a career filled with moments that still make fans catch their breath, none more famous than "The Catch" in the 1954 World Series. Number 24 belongs to Willie Mays and Willie Mays alone, a permanent tribute to the man who defined what it means to play the game with joy, brilliance, and an unmatched love for San Francisco.
Career: 2,992 G · .302 AVG · 660 HR · 1,903 RBI · 3,283 H
