No. 3 Bill Terry

1960 Fleer #52.

No. 4 Mel Ott

2011 Topps Lineage #186.

No. 11 Carl Hubbell

1984 Donruss Champions #55.

No. 20 Monte Irvin

1975 TCMA #NNO.

No. 22    Will Clark
1986 Topps Traded #24T.

No. 24 Willie Mays

1972 Topps #49.

No, 25 Barry Bonds

2002 Topps Opening Day #73.

No. 27 Juan Marichal

1974 Topps #330.

No. 30 Orlando Cepeda

1971 Topps #140.

No. 42    Jackie Robinson

No. 44 Willie McCovey

Whose number do you think the Giants are going to retire next? No. 28 Buster Posey? No. 55 Tim Lincecum (2 Cy Young awards)? No. 40 Madison Bumgarner (2014 World Series MVP)? Other?

My guess - No. 15 Bruce Bochy.

Thanks for visiting.

Stay safe!
