Three Giants players were honored with a Louisville Slugger Silver Slugger Award* on Thursday. Brandon Crawford, Buster Posey, and Madison Bumgarner each won awards, which go to the best hitter at each position in both leagues. It's like I've always said: "When you think sluggers, you think the San Francisco Giants of the last few years."
This is the third time in the award's history that three Giants have won in the same year, along with 1993 (Barry Bonds, Matt Williams, Robby Thompson) and 2001 (Bonds, Jeff Kent, Rich Aurilia). The trick to making the postseason, apparently, is not to hit so many danged dingers.
