SF Giants 1970s

Now the next part of the blog about the San Francisco Giants I will be discussing the events and star players with awards for the period of the 1970’s.

 

The 1970’s wasn’t a great era for the Giants. They had a lot of star athletes but not too many big results. There were some no-hitters and playoff appearances here and there, but the Giants couldn’t capture the gold. Key players within the 1970’s included legends such as Bobby Bonds, Willie Mays, Willie McCovey, Gaylord Perry, Chris Speier and Jack Clark. These players collected 12 all-star appearances between them, one Comeback Player of the Year Award and three gold gloves.

 

 

 

In my opinion, the 1970’s was a rough era for the Giants as they really did fail to accomplish some big awards, such as an MVP and a World Series championship, something that the Giants was very used to before the 1970’s. The best player in this era would probably be Bobby Bonds. He was a sensational athlete and really was the star for the Giants within the 1970s. He was a great defensive outfielder winning three gold gloves. He was the MVP of the All Star game in 1973. He really molded well within the San Francisco Giants organization. His son, Barry became one of the top players ever in the Giants organization.
