Forever Giants:1961 San Francisco Giants Year 4 (79)

1960 is here.

My WAR calculation is a combination of Baseball-reference and Clay Davenport; I believe it to be the "best" WAR number available for historical comparison. 8 WAR is an MVP quality season.  The record is pythagorean adjusted for 162 games.

-We tour Japan before the season and Stu Miller gets blown off the mound at the All Star Game. Former Giant Alvin Dark takes over and leads Giants to their best pythag finish since '54. Mays pulls into third for all time Giants WAR
