What is this all about?
Here are the Top 5 Moments on May 21 in San Francisco Giants history.
1969 home vs Cardinals, 2-2 in the 8th, 38 year old Willie Mays hits a 2 run homer off Gary Waslewski, we win the game 4-3. It's homer #592 for Mays.
1972 home vs Braves, after losing the front end of a doubleheader the Giants were 10-25 on the season, we trailed 1-0 with 2 out in the 8th, Bobby Bonds hits a 2 run homer off Ron Reed and those are the last runs scored. It's the 105th homer of Bonds's career.
2004 at Montreal, down 3-2 in the 7th, Edgardo Alfonzo hits a 2 run double off of Luis Ayala. We go up 4-3 and win 6-5. Alfonzo was replacement level in his 3 San Francisco seasons.
2013 home vs. Nationals, down 2-1 with 2 out in the 9th, Gregor Blanco triples home Andres Torres off of Rafael Soriano to the the score. Blanco got a couple thousand plate appearances, mostly as the 4th OF for the Giants, but started and was worth a couple wins in '13.
Walk off 2013 home vs. Nationals, same game, Pablo Sandoval hits a 2 run homer in the 10th off of Yunesky Maya and we win the game. Sandoval had two walk off homers as a Giant, the first was four years prior, also off the Nationals.
See you tomorrow. Go Giants!
