San Francisco Giants: Pence Looks to Continue Long-Standing Tradition

Barry Bonds was a stalwart in left field for the San Francisco Giants, holding down the fort in Candlestick and AT&T Park (through a few different names) for 15 seasons. He played 1,985 games in left field between 1993 and 2007, averaging over 130 games per season. He surpassed 100 games at the position in 13 of 15 seasons, with the lone exceptions being 1999, when an elbow injury kept him off the field from mid-April to June, and 2005, when knee surgeries limited him to 13 games in September.

He was a constant. For 15 years, Giants’ fans knew Bonds would be taking his position just about every day.
