A consistently successful six-year minor league career recommends Jim for a shot at Giants' starting assignment in 1973. Control is Jim's forte, he comes equipped with a high ratio of Strikeouts as compared to Walks, throughout his career.
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.
Hank batted .289 in 1950. His 148 hits included 17 doubles, 6 triples and 20 homers. He drove in 91 runs. Set a new record for third basemen by taking part in 43 double plays. (The old mark was 41.) Appeared briefly in the majors with the Browns in 1947. With the Kansas City Monarchs, Negro American League, 1948. Brought up by Giants from their Jersey City farm during 1949 season.
