Walker, Beck, Harrison - three rookie pitchers who started consecutively for SF.  The last time this happened was 2003.  Who were the pitchers?

I'm guessing Heston was one.

Do you count Matt Cain as a 2006 Rookie?

He debuted in 2005 and appeared in multiple 2005 games but somehow still qualified for the 2006 ROY vote and finished 5th.  So not sure if he appears in your list but he was from around that time.

Probably, but the year in question was 2003.

Great question though. Looked it up, not household names, but over 25 years of major league experience among them. . . .

Which former NBA player was the last to wear Jordan's #23 before MJ was given those digits by the Chicago Bulls?

Hint: Just missed the cut with those 10 year guys.

Mike Bratz. Stanford Guard from '74-'77

Right, that's Kenny Sears, the first college basketball player on the cover of Sports Illustrated. That was (I think) two years after he and SCU went to their only Final Four trip. He was the fifth overall pick in the NBA draft, played for the Knicks and finished up his career with the San Francisco Warriors.

Gotta be Matt Duffy. IIRC, he was a free agent who signed somewhere this year.

Also noted that Hunter Strickland's last year in the bigs was last year. He played for Cincinnati's AAA team, had an 11.45 ERA.

Also one more bit of trivia from the 2014 SFG team...former first round pick Gary Brown led the team in batting average at .429. That was three hits in seven major league at bats, the only MLB ABs he would ever have. He did well in high A, but was stymied by AA and AAA pitching. Stole a bunch of bases. Played in 2014, retired at age 26.

Which, of course, brings to mind Stanford star of the 60s, 10-year major leaguer and nemesis to our own Phogge....Frank Duffy, who is now a barefoot gardener in Tucson.
