In the long and storied history of the San Francisco Giants, the team has had some of the greatest stars ever.  Players like Willie Mays, Willie McCovey and Juan Marichal, all living legends, have worn the orange and black.

Throughout history, the Giants have had several opponents that always seemed to raise their game whenever they played the Giants.  Players like Don Drysdale, Greg Maddux, Bob Gibson and Maury Wills were more than thorns in the side of the Giants.  They were downright despised as opponents.  

The current Giants, who won it all in 2010, have their own share of stars.  Players like Tim Lincecum, Aubrey Huff, Matt Cain and Buster Posey lead the Giants on their quest to repeat as world champions.
