Hank established a new National League record for third-basemen in 1950 when he took part in 43 double plays. This was his first year as a Giant regular and he hit .289 and slugged 20 homers. In 1947, he got his first Big League trial with the Browns, but didn't click. The Giants brought him up from Jersey City during the 1949 season. He spent 2 months in the minors in 1951, but came back to play in the World Series.
Al is a great pro. A fine fielder and dangerous hitter, and the possessor of a tremendous competitive spirit. His work was a vital part of the Giants' march to the 1954 pennant. Al appeared in 154 games, all the Giants played, and he hit .293. He had 189 hits for a total of 287 bases. These included 26 doubles, 6 triples and 20 home runs. He batted in 70 runs and scored 98. He began in baseball in 1946 with the then Boston Braves, and came to the Giants in 1950.
A member of a baseball family, Hal is the son of a former major league pitcher Max Lanier. Hal signed a reported $50,000 bonus contract in '61. He worked his way up through the Giants' farm system, reaching the parent club in 1964. Hal is one of the slickest infielders in the majors and he has an exceptionally strong throwing arm. After a .274 batting mark as a rookie, Hal was a victim of the sophomore jinx in 1965.
