 On
Saturday, Sept. 17th, Giants Great
JT Snow signed for a huge crowd
at Sports
Gallery Palo Alto.
JT
Snow
put on a show in the 2002 post-season
batting .333 with 22 hits and two
huge home runs. Defensively JT has
no peer, as his six straight (1995-2000)
Gold Gloves indicate. His .993 fielding
percentage in 2002 is mind boggling
on its own but it's lower than his
career number (.995 - only 63 errors
in 1,656 games). As a Giant, Snow
was, and still is, beloved by the
fans, having won the Dave Dravecky
Award in 1998 for being the most
inspirational player as voted on
by the fans. As a Giant, Snow purchased
25 tickets a game for cancer patients
and underprivileged groups to sit
in his special section called the
"Snow Pack." JT has the
distinction of being one of only
five switch hitters to reach 100
RBI in both leagues (Snow previously
played for the NY Yankees and California
Angels and finished his career with
the Boston Red Sox), although towards
the later part of his career he
hit exclusively from the left-side
now.
One of the most popular Giants in
recent years, Snow signed a one-game
contract with SF in September of
2008 so he could "retire"
as a Giant and is one of only two
two-time winners of the team's Willie
Mac Award given annually by the
players & coaches to the most
inspirational player. |
