When news broke this afternoon of Paul Goldschmidt’s trade to the St. Louis Cardinals, plenty of San Francisco Giants fans, and pitchers breathed a massive sigh of relief. Goldschmidt has been single-handedly wrecking the San Francisco Giants ever since he came into the league in 2011. Many remember his massive blast off Tim Lincecum, who was still an ace at the time, for his first career home run.
Goldschmidt has a career slash line of .284/.397/.507/.904 against the San Francisco Giants, with 22 homers and 79 RBI. He also has 10 more plate appearances against the Giants than any other team.
