The San Francisco Giants had a 38-38 record entering the month of July during the 2000 season but ripped off a 19-8 month of July to thrust them into contention and convince them to buy leading up to the deadline.
While they only made one minor move, they still went an impressive 40-19 the rest of the way to finish with a 97-65 record and win the NL West title by 11 games.
