San Francisco

"The Candyman" was a major part of the Giants success in the late 1980's as a part of the 1987 NL West Champions and the 1989 National League Champions.

One memorable highlight from the Candy Maldonado era with the San Francisco Giants came during an altercation with the St. Louis Cardinals. Will Clark slid hard into second base where Ozzy Smith was not pleased and took a swipe at Clark. Soon thereafter, Clark was defenseless as Jose Oquendo joined the fracas beating on Will. Next thing you knew, Candy (missing only a cape) came flying from first base to throw a punch that knocked Smith into the outfield. Giants Manager Roger Craig was quoted as saying it was the fastest he had seen Candy go from first to second.

Although Maldonado had statistically good seasons in San Francisco, he was involved in one of the most infamous Giants plays ever. In game 6 of the 1987 National League Championship Series, he lost Tony Peña's 2nd inning fly ball in the lights. This play resulted in a triple for Peña. Peña scored on a sacrifice fly for the only run of the game, which the Cardinals won to tie the series at 3 games each, before going on to win Game 7. The 1987 National League Championship Series took place between October 6 and October 14 at Busch Stadium (Games 1, 2, 6, 7) and Candlestick Park (3, 4, 5). ...
