Giants Card of the Day

Carl Hubbell
For the first time in his career as a major league pichter, Carl Hubbell, left-handed master of his now famous "Screwball", fell below the .500 mark. He won 11 and lost 12 for his worst season since he joined the Giants in 1928, but the old master is still regarded as one of the best bets on the Giant mound staff. Hubbell hurled 11 complete games last year, including a 1-hit masterpiece against Brooklyn on May 30th. His lifetime record shows the brilliant mark of 227 won against only 133 lost for an average of .631 with 1510 strikeouts and an earned run average of 2.86.

Name that player!

Two of the best friends that the Giant hurlers had in 1965 were shortstop Dick Schofield and second baseman Hal Lanier. The duo were often able to convert "sure" base-hits into spectacular double plays. Dick, having played with the Cardinals and the Pirates since 1953, joined the Giants last year. Dick's best season was with Pittsburgh in 1960 when he batted .333 in 65 ballgames. San Francisco's second baseman is the son of Max Lanier, a former major league pitcher. Hal began his career in 1961 at Quincy where he batted .315. The following season, the youngster hit .312 in the California League. After batting .327 at Tacoma in the tough Pacific Coast League in 1964, Hal received a call to the big time by the Giants.



Played in 129 games in 1950. Hit .295. Slammed 28 doubles. Drove in 52 runs. Joined Giants at end of the 1945 season. In military service next year. Kept out of lineup by a broken leg in 1947. Batted .286 for the Polo Grounders in 1948. Batted .301 in 1949. Got 186 hits, including 32 doubles. Whitey is considered one of the best young outfielders in the National League. Has plenty of speed.



Willie and Rig were teammates on the New York version of the Giants during the 1951 and 1952 seasons. They also played together in the World Series of 1951. Before turning to managing, Rig was the pepperpot of the Giants for eight years and was one of the contributors who helped the Giants set the Major League team homer record with 221. Rig chipped in with 17 round-trippers - not bad for a spray hitter. In 1954 he was appointed to the managerial post at Minneapolis and piloted the team to third place. The following season, his Millers went all the way and won the American Association pennant. That brought Bill to the Giants where he just missed the pennant in the last week of the 1959 season. Rigney's No. 1 star is Willie Mays. He can hit the ball out of sight, run like a deer and field as no one else can in baseball.

Back to the Front! Giants card back du jour...

Hal Lanier
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.
