San Francisco Giants: Ryan Theriot's final act
In San Francisco Giants history plenty of popular players have donned the Orange and Black for only one season. Included on that list is gritty infielder Ryan Theriot.
The Giants reeled in the veteran big leaguer on a minor league pact just before spring training got underway in 2012. He was brought in to the bolster middle infield depth while competing against former Louisiana State University (LSU) teammate Mike Fontenot for one of the final roster spots.
Throughout spring training, Theriot stated his case to make the Opening Day roster. However, it came at the cost of Fontenot's roster spot. Fontenot was released so Theriot could be added to the roster.
