Those are all really strong. But for me, it was Hank Greenwald in 1989.
I was born two weeks after Willie McCovey's liner (and the Giants WS hopes) died in Bobby Richardson's glove. Other than 1971 and maybe 1978 and 1986 and 1987, the Giants stunk during my early life and they hadn't won a pennant since 1962.
In 1989, as Clark, Mitchell, Robby and Matt Williams hit 2 HR's apiece, the Giants won the pennant in five games. Hank Greenwald's memorable line was "27 years of waiting have come to an end." Chills, for me anyways.
