SAN FRANCISCO — As the season begins to wind down, the San Francisco Giants are now five weeks out from the day of the Willie Mac Award presentation.
The team’s highest honor is annually awarded to the most inspirational player and despite the Giants’ sub-.500 record, there are no shortage of deserving candidates this year.
In the first year of Farhan Zaidi’s tenure and the final season of Bruce Bochy’s run with the Giants, a handful of newcomers and a few of the club’s elder statesmen have emerged as favorites.
The Giants will present the award on Friday, September 27 ahead of their final regular season series against the Los Angeles Dodgers.
