AtF Favorite San Francisco Giants Series: Kevin Mitchell

For me, that was an easy choice. Kevin Mitchell. Mitchell only played parts of five seasons for the San Francisco Giants, but he left a lasting impression on the fans who grew up at Candlestick Park.

Traded to the Giants from the San Diego Padres in 1987, along with fellow Giants fan favorites Dave Dravecky and Craig Lefferts, Mitchell was asked to make some major changes.

Mitch had played the majority of his time at third base in 1987 and 1988, but as the team moved into the 1989 season, the team decided he needed to make the move to left field.
