Doh, Gossage - another guy who traipsed his way through a (very) short tenure in the 'Stick.
Otherwise, Bob, I was looking back at previous posts on this ? - didn't Mick get the last guy in post #1216?

I mentioned Gossage and Snider earlier.
I was off by a year with Schoendienst. He played for the Giants in 1956 and 1957, the years before they moved west. He's not remembered as an offensive stud, but he led the league with 200 hits that year.

March 16, 2024 men's gymnastics beat #1 Oklahoma.
If there's one thing people have learned in Berkeley, it's that you can't put "Cal football" and "Rose Bowl" in the same sentence. The words just don't fit. You'd be better off linking "covered wagons" with "Mars travel." (Bruce Jenkins, Cal '70, SF Chronicle, Nov. 11, 2017)
