Pittsburgh Pirate in the middle of his career, Brian Giles was at his best when he played in the black and yellow.

Giles was traded from Cleveland after four years to the Padres and was the bright spot on some awful Pittsburgh teams.  In the four full seasons he was with Pittsburgh, he never had a year where he did smack at least 35 Home Runs, received an MVP vote, and batted over .300 in three of them.  Giles was a National League All-Star in 2000 and 2001, but the slumping Pirates traded him to San Diego during the 2003 campaign.

With Pittsburgh, Giles had 782 Hits, 165 Home Runs, and batted .308.
