Yep. Two left. I would be very impressed if anyone gets 2B, a NY Giant with whom I was not familiar.

Davey Williams.
3B Jim Davenport
If not Williams how about my earlier quoted Laughing Larry Doyle?

You never cease to amaze me. Larry Doyle, at 2B
and, of course, the Golden Glove, one of my favorite Giants at 3B. I can still hear Russ Hodges talking about the kid from Siluria, Alabama. For some reason that resonated with me - what an exotic sounding place......

And a great guy to boot. Close to Art Santo Domingo and all Art's Santa Clara buddies. How did they lose the '62 Series? Mays, Cepeda, McCovey, Felipe, Manny, Bailey, Haller, Pagan, Kuenn, Davenport, Marichal, Sanford, Pierce, O'Dell, Larsen. The best SF Giants lineup and it's not even close.

The Stanford to Giants question was interesting
Thanks for that one DC

How many USF Dons have played for the Warriors?

None recently?

Phil Smith
Oh yeah, and Joe Ellis. Those are the only guys that come right to mind.

Mike Farmer ?
RE: Sports trivia thread -
Phogge - 06-09-2021
Farmer played for the St. Louis Hawks.
Ellis and Smith. Correct.
Guy Williams
Bill Reid
Fred LaCour. Arguably he and Tom Meschery were the greatest talents to come from The City since Luisetti. Had many demons and died way too early.

Phil Smith and Eric Fernsten were my dorm counselors in a summer basketball camp circa 1971. Good guys. Smith died way too young.

Thanks, Bob. There are actually almost twice as many Stanford baseball players who subsequently played for the Oakland As (17, including two who also played for the Giants), I know most people on here are Giants fans but perhaps want to guess the Stanford/Oakland players?
