When you think of the best hitter in Pittsburgh Pirates history, who do you think of? Honus Wagner, Roberto Clemente, Ralph Kiner, Willie Stargell are probably a handful of names who pop into your head. Now you wouldn’t be wrong if that’s who you thought of. They are all very talented hitters the team has had, but one name you probably don’t think of outfielder Brian Giles. But, despite that, he might just be the best out of all of them.
Giles was number five on my list of top five left fielders in Pittsburgh Pirates history.
