Bob's right, Josh Johnson from Oakland Tech. He's made a professional roster of 14 NFL teams (and got into games on seven of them), made three other non-NFL teams, and made the practice squad of two more NFL teams, including this year. He was Jim Harbaugh's first quarterback at University of San Diego, and Harbaugh has repeatedly credited Josh for his future success.
Harbaugh brought Johnson into the 49er camp. He actually had a good spring training, but didn't make the team. The final QBs were Alex Smith< Colin Kaepernick and Scott Tolzien.

The Angels hold the worst record in baseball, at .381. If that holds, they would project to be 62-100 by years end.
When was the last time no team in MLB ended the season with 100 losses?

2020, the Pirates had the highest number of losses with 41. In the COVID season.
Tonight, Bryce Eldridge became one of just five Giants' rookies to hit 12 or more home runs at age 21 or earlier.
Who are the other four?

Mays and McCovey are correct...the last one is Jack Clark.
Not Mel Ott because by the time Ott was 21, he'd been on the Giants for four years already...so not a rookie. By the time Ott was 21, he'd hit 86 home runs. Interesting guy, Ott. Led the league in home runs six times, was the NL career HR leader for years, all playing in the cavernous Polo Grounds.

The polo grounds had extremely short distances down the lines
A Hall of Fame player hit 51 HRs one year playing for the NY Giants. Who was he?

Mays also hit 51 in 1955 as a New York Giant.
Before Mize, Mel Ott hit the most at 42 in 1929.
Aaron never hit 50 in a season.
Barry Bonds, career HR leader, only hit more than 50 once, in his 73 HR year. He had over 40 eight times, including one season of 49. And he only led MLB in HRs twice, the 73 HR season, and his first year as a Giant with 46. Aaron and Mays each led the NL in HRs four times.

While this is surely correct technically, just in case BC was looking for full-length seasons, in 2017 the Giants and the Detroit Tigers shared the bedrock of baseball, at 64-98.
