Best Giant name of all time?

Dirty Al Gallagher

John the Count Montefusco

I always thought that the Giants had too many nicknames. Like every other player seemed to have one during the '70's and '80's.

My fave's are the one that fit the best.

Thrill, for sure

Stretch, Caveman, Big Daddy, Woody, Hac-Man and who could forget "Disaster"

I saw a guy at the stick who made up his own jersey with that name and E6 for the number.

woody!!!!!!!

NOW I remember who you are. You were the one who always claimed that you knew someone in the Giants front office and would tell us things that would happen and never did. LOL

Anybody else notice/know about this?

it should be "Frozone"

he looks JUST like Frozone from The Incredibles. I havent heard anyone else mention it before.

I liked it when we had the pitcher/catcher combo of Bud Black and Steve Decker... aka Black and Decker.

Will the Thrill of course!!!
