Dave Weisner, that was one neat article about departing Giant HOFers. Thank you for posting that!

The article speaks of 5 Giants whose numbers were retired. I'd have added Giant great Christy Mathewson to that list, even though no number was retired for him. Matty pitched his last game in 1916, wearing the uniform of the Cincinnati Redlegs.

I always thought Bob Hoerner, Will Clark, and Dan Driessen looked odd in my Cardinal's uniforms. Spahn seemed odd as a Giant... The Babe would have been the most unusual, with the Boston Braves.
