Giants’ Nick Hundley wins Willie Mac Award: ‘pretty overwhelming’

Nick Hundley is considered a good teammate and clubhouse leader, and there can’t be enough of those on a team having a horrible season.

Friday night, Hundley received the Willie Mac Award as the most inspirational Giant in front of many past winners including Jack Clark, the first recipient in 1980.

“We have a new person in the family this year,” Hall of Famer Willie McCovey told the AT&T Park crowd. “His name is Nick Hundley.”

Among other former winners in attendance: Dave Dravecky, Ellis Burks, Larry Herndon, Ryan Vogelsong and Mike Krukow, who was at the microphone.
