Compiling a list of the 50 greatest players in San Francisco Giants history is inherently subjective and likely to spark debate. No formula or advanced metrics influence the rankings; instead, the selection is based on gut instinct and certain guiding principles. Winning is crucial, with players who contributed to successful teams receiving more recognition, particularly during the dynasty years. The process acknowledges that not everyone may agree with the selections, but it aims to catalyze discussion.
Winning was huge. The goal every season is to win it all, so players who contributed to successful teams got a bump, especially those from the dynasty years.
The whole exercise exists solely to make people angry. No sane person would ever take on such a hopelessly subjective task.
There's no formula behind this list - no algorithm, no advanced metrics. Just a set of guiding principles and a whole lot of gut instinct.
I don't expect everyone - or anyone, really - to agree with this list. But hopefully, it sparks some debate.
