San Francisco Giants: Who Should Win the Willie Mac Award?

No matter what has happened each season since 1980, the San Francisco Giants have honored a player at the end of the season with an award every member of the team cares about.

Willie McCovey was one of the most beloved players in San Francisco history and with his retirement in 1980, the award was born.

Nick Hundley, who is finishing his second season with the club, won the award in 2017.

In a 98 loss season in 2017, there was not much to be excited about. However, Hundley brought a professionalism to the locker room and became an instant favorite among teammates.
