Connor Joe the Latest Giants Left Field Experiment
The San Francisco Giants have had a whale of a time finding Barry Bonds replacement in left field.
Opening day is here, and once again, the San Francisco Giants will start a new left fielder in 2019. Bonds stopped playing after the 2007 season, and since then, the Giants have had a different starter in left every season.
The list is a who’s who of “oh yeah, he played left.”
The last time a left fielder played back to back opening days not named Bonds was Kevin Mitchell, who played left from 1989-1991. Three straight seasons.
Mike Felder started opening day in 1992 and Pedro Feliz started in left in 2005, when Bonds was hurt to begin the season. The other 14 opening days were started by Bonds.
