Travis Jackson played his entire career with the New York Giants (1922-36), where he was one of the best defensive players in franchise history.

Jackson played mostly at Shortstop but easily subbed in at Third Base when needed.  Leading the National League three times in Defensive bWAR and finishing second three times, Jackson earned the nickname "Stonewall" for his ability to stop ground balls.  While many defensive stars those days were soft with the bat, Jackson was a decent hitter, who had a lifetime Batting Average of .291, and hit 135 Home Runs.  Jackson, who had four top-ten MVP finishes, helped New York win the World Series in 1933 and enabled them to appear in three more.

An underappreciated player in the history of the Giants when they were in New York, George Burns was a Catcher-turned-Outfielder who made ripples with his bat and glove for the Giants in the 1910s.

Burns was first called up in 1911 and was a regular in 1913, a season where he helped New York win the Pennant and established himself as a capable leadoff man.  One of four players to lead the league in Runs five times and Walks five times, Burns also led the NL in Stolen Bases twice (1914 & 1919) and would steal 334 bags in total as a Giant.  Collecting 1,541 Hits and batting .290 for New York, Burns appeared in the World Series three times, winning a title in 1921.

Following New York’s ’21 Title, Burns was traded to Cincinnati, ending his run in New York, but never in the conversation about who was the Giants' best leadoff hitter ever.

Will Clark was the main star for the San Francisco Giants in the late 80s, but despite that, we can argue that his run in the Bay Area is slightly underrated.

After a phenomenal amateur career where he won the Golden Spikes Award for Mississippi Star and competed for the United States in the 1984 Olympics, Clark was the second overall pick in the 1985 Draft.  A year later, Clark was called up by the Giants and was their regular First Baseman for the next six years; a period where he was one of the best in the game.

Clark was a special player.  A two-time Silver Slugger and one-time Gold Glove recipient, Clark was the runner-up for the MVP in 1989, the same year he led the Giants to the Pennant while winning the NLCS MVP.  When he broke out in his sophomore year (1987), he finished fifth in MVP voting and did so again the following year, where he began a five-year streak of All-Star Games.  From 1987 to 1992, Clark batted over .300 with 151 Home Runs while also playing strong defense.

After the 1993 Season, Clark left San Francisco for Texas as a Free Agent, and while he is not a Hall of Fame player, he is one of the finest First Baseman in franchise history.

The Giants chose Clark for their Wall of Fame inaugural Class in 2008, and in 2022, his #22 was retired by the team.

"Silent" Mike Tiernan played his entire baseball career at the highest level with the New York Giants (1887-99), where the Rightfielder (pardon the pun) quietly was one of the better hitters of the 1890s.

Tiernan had 10 Home Runs as a rookie (which was great for this era), and he would help the Giants win the 1888 and 1889 versions of the World Series.  Tiernan batted .335 in 1189, and he had six more .300 seasons.  His best seasons were in 1890 and 1891, where his 13 and 16 Home Runs would respectively lead the National League, and he had five .490 plus Slugging years, including a league-leading .495 in 1890.

He retired with 106 Home Runs, which, again, we have to state was a very good number for a player who never had a Major League At Bat after 1899!  Tiernan also had 1,838 career Hits and a lifetime Batting Average of .311.  Despite those accomplishments, Tiernan was never on a Hall of Fame ballot.
