SF Giants 1980s

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 1980’s.  

 

The period of the 1980s was definitely one of the worst eras that the Giants have ever had. The Giants record their highest loss totals within the 1980s. The Giants lose 86 games in 1980, 96 games in 1984 and 100 games in 1985. These by far were the worst season in the history of the San Francisco Giants. They turn it around in 1987 and 1989 where the Giants would win division titles in these years and head to the World Series in 1986.

All Stars within the 1980s included greats such as Bob Brenly, Mike Krukow, who is now a broadcaster for the Giants, Will Clark, Kevin Mitchell and Rick Reuschel. Mitchell won an MVP award in 1989. Robby Thompson won the Rookie of the Year in 1986. Joe Morgan won Comeback Player of the Year in 1982. Morgan, Clark and Mitchell win Silver Slugger Awards and Reuschel won a Gold Glove in 1987.

 

These great players helped build and shape the Giants into what they are today. As I said earlier, Krukow is now a broadcaster for the Giants, as he has always been a part of the Giants organization for a long time. Legends and greats like these players really shape for the future of the upcoming years and teams to come.  Continue to read my blog for the next era of the Giants; the 1990s.
