| 1965 | The BBWAA select Giants outfielder Willie Mays as the National League's Most Valuable Player over Dodger southpaw Sandy Koufax, the winner of 26 games with an ERA of 2.04, while striking out 382 batters to establish a modern major-league mark. The 34-year-old San Francisco slugger batted .312, led the circuit with 52 home runs, and collected 112 RBI for his second-place club. |
| 1992 | In a secret ballot requiring ten votes for approval, the National League club owners vote, 9-4, against allowing San Francisco owner Bob Lurie to sell the Giants for $115 million to a group from the Tampa Bay Area, which deals the region its seventh setback in seven attempts to attract a major league club. An affirmative vote would have resulted in the franchise playing at the Florida Suncoast Dome in St. Petersburg starting next season. |
