Here's a list of all SF Giants who hit their first home run in Dodger Stadium. I've listed the first name of the Giants hitter, and the Dodger pitcher off of whom he hit his first home run. Yes, this is in honor of Tyler Fitzgerald, who hit his first home run at Dodger Stadium yesterday. Pitchers are in parentheses:
Jack _______ (Sandy Koufax)
Jim _______ (Andy Messersmith)
John ______ (Charlie Hough)
Mark ________ (Mike Morgan)
Armando ______ (Darren Dreifort)
Todd _______ (Kazuhisa Ishii)
Jason _______ (Scott Stewart)
Noah _______ (Derek Lowe)
Brandon _______ (Chad Billingsley
Tyler _________ (Ryan Yarbrough)
Your job is to fill in the last names. Hint: Three of the Giants named were pitchers.
Jack Sanford (Sandy Koufax) CHANGE TO JACK HIATT
Jim Wohlford (Andy Messersmith) Jim Barr
John Tamargo (Charlie Hough) CHANGE TO JOHN MONTEFUSCO. HECK I REMEMBER THE GAME.
Mark Hill (Mike Morgan) Mark Leonard
Armando Rios (Darren Dreifort)
Todd Linden (Kazuhisa Ishii)
Jason Schmidt (Scott Stewart) Jason Ellison
Noah Lowry (Derek Lowe)
Brandon Belt (Chad Billingsley
Tyler Fitzgerald (Ryan Yarbrough)
Nicely done...

Pre-WWI. I think there were comparatively few years with actually MVPs, but I believe a Chalmers automobile was given away in 1912 or 1914 for the MVP...and I want to say it was Ty Cobb.
Between WWI and WWII, Babe Ruth either 1921 or 1924...the year he had 119 extra base hits.
Post-WWII. Barry Bonds, year he had 73 home runs. Interestingly, he never had more than 49 in any other year in his career, nor did Hank Aaron.
