He was the Senators' only long-term star (and one of the greatest players ever, on top of that). I know he played a really long time ago, but I still think he's easily one of the four best athletes in DC sports history, no doubt. Worth a thought anyways yup.

Willie Mays, Barry Bonds and Willie McCovey would also be before Posey and Sandoval. Hell, I'd even put Tim Lincecum over them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Six Posted July 22, 2017 Share Posted July 22, 2017 Steve Young was probably a better quarterback than Joe Montana. He just didn't get to play during a dynasty that likely would have been just as good with him at the helm. Sandoval was a tongue in cheek choice because Giants fans are currently having a hissy fit over his returning to the team. But Posey definitely goes in before Bonds and Lincecum. I think you can trace the team's WS success more to him than to any other player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, but he doesn't exude the same Oakland-ness that Barry and Mullin did. The San Francisco arena talk started while Curry was just starting to realize his potential. The "Oakland" Curry is a guy who played no defense and had weak ankles. MLB: Project 32 (Complete), MLB: The Defunct Saga (Complete) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gary Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 He played in Oakland, got his two titles in Oakland. So he's still Oakland. He's not in San Francisco getting these titles yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DG_ThenNowForever Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 I think Golden State is in a weird situation though. I'd be curious to know how many of the season ticket holders live in Oakland compared to other places across the bay. That said, Steph is the greatest Golden State Warrior. And injuries or something else somehow stop a true dynasty before it starts in San Francisco, he may end up fitting better in Oakland. It's probably too soon to tell. Should Durant win a few more titles though, he might end up on the San Francisco list along Bonds, Montana and Rice. 1 hour ago, ShutUpLutz! said: and the drunken doodoobags jumping off the tops of SUV's/vans/RV's onto tables because, oh yeah, they are drunken drug abusing doodoobags Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Durant would have to be a total world-beater if he wants to get on that list (Mays, Montana, Rice, and Posey - the catalyst for the Giants' recent run of success - championships mean more than the home run record). Even then, the Warriors' amorphous location and the Niners' move to Santa Clara mean that list is in flux.

DG_ThenNowForever Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 San Francisco is definitely a tricky one, considering its teams are more regional than city-based. I just don't watch baseball (or SportsCenter) anymore so I've got a blind spot for guys like Buster Posey. Titles do mean more than home runs, but Bonds achieved mythical status as a Giant, and ended up bigger than the game (literally lol). But, yeah, it makes sense that the locals would prefer the guy who won and didn't nearly destroy the sport. 1 hour ago, ShutUpLutz! said: and the drunken doodoobags jumping off the tops of SUV's/vans/RV's onto tables because, oh yeah, they are drunken drug abusing doodoobags Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
