San Francisco Giants Bring Back Joe Nathan—13 Years Later

Do you remember when the San Francisco Giants played their home games in Candlestick Park, way back in 1999? Except for some of you younglings, of course you do. In regular human years, it hasn’t been all that long since then.

Those 17 years, however, are a lot longer in pro-athlete years. Still, the Giants’ most recent free-agent signee, relief pitcher Joe Nathan, can actually say he once played his home games in that windy ol’ football stadium (that no longer exists).

The Giants signed Nathan to a minor league contract on Tuesday, days after the Chicago Cubs released him.
