Brandon Belt played the first twelve years if his Major League career with the San Francisco Giants, where he predominantly played at First Base.
An All-Star in 2016 (his best year, with 17 HR, 82 RBI, and .868 OPS), Belt was never considered an elite performer but played a role in the Giants World Series wins in 2012 and 2014. Belt might not be considered a power hitter, but this is a respectable metric for him, as he had seven years with at least 15 Home Runs, including a surprising 29 HR year in 2021, where he only played 97 Games. He signed with the Toronto Blue Jays in 2023, leaving behind 1,146 Hits and 175 Home Runs.
Belt will never go down as one of the best players in a Giants uniform, but only a handful have played with the team as long and have multiple rings to show for it.
Freddie Fitzsimmons played the first dozen years of his career with the New York Giants after being acquired from Indianapolis of the American Association in the summer of 1925, and the year after, he was a fixture in the Giants rotation until he was traded to crosstown Brooklyn during the 1937 Season.
The righthander would not have a losing record in New York until 1935, which included a 20-Win year in 1928, 19 Wins in 1930, and 18 in both 1931 and 1934. Fitzsimmons cranked out well over 200 Innings nine years in a row (1926-34), and though he did not dazzle with Strikeouts, he found a way to get outs and was in the top ten in WHIP four times as a Giant.
Fitzsimmons would help the Giants win the 1934 and 1936 Pennant, and though he lost all three decisions, he was one of the reasons they got there, and New York would prevail in 1933. His overall record with New York of 170 and 114, a winning percentage of .599.
George Wiltse earned the name "Hooks" for the way he could work a curveball, a specialty he showed off as a New York Giant for a decade.
Joining the Giants in 1904, Wiltse helped New York win four Pennants, with him helping to win the World Series in 1905. Wiltse was a back-to-back 20-Game winner in 1908 and 1909, and he never had a year where his ERA was under 2.50 until 2010, his seventh season in the Majors. An above-average Pitcher, Wiltse was also a good hitter, batting .215 with 155 Hits in New York.
Wiltse was released after the 1914 Season and would never play in the Majors again. He had a solid run as a Giant with a record of 136-85 and a 2.48 ERA.
George Kelly is a forgotten power hitter in the early days of the long game, and considering who was exploding around him, his ghosting is not surprising.
Playing mainly at First Base, Kelly was with New York in his first two years in the Majors (1915-16) before the Pittsburgh Pirates chose him off waivers. It was a brief stay in Western Pennsylvania, as the Giants claimed him back off waivers less than a month later.
The bouncing around ended for Kelly, who secured a regular role for the Giants in 1920 and excelled as the league leader in RBIs (94). The First Baseman led the NL in Home Runs the year after (23) and began a four-year streak of at least 100 Runs Batted In.
With crosstown rival Babe Ruth of the Yankees shattering the records for going deep, Kelly was not in that depth but did lead the Giants to World Series Titles in 1921 and 1922. He would later win the NL RBI Title in 1924 (136), where he had another 20-plus HR year, which he replicated the year after.
Kelly was traded to Cincinnati in 1927, leaving behind 123 Home Runs and 762 RBIs.
In 1973, Kelly was a Veterans Committee Selection for the Hall of Fame.
