| Robby
Thompson,
born in West Palm Beach, Florida, played his entire 11-year career with the San
Francisco Giants. In 1986, he was second in voting for MLB Rookie of the Year.
During his eleven-year career, Thompson played 10,720 innings at second base and
one inning at shortstop. He was elected to the National League All-Star team twice
(1988 and 1993), and won the Giants' Willie Mac Award in 1991, honoring his spirit
and leadership. Thompson's best year statistically was in 1993 when he had career
highs in batting average (.312) and home runs (19). Thompson was known for the
well-used baseball glove he played with for almost his entire career. In fact
so worn was Thompson's glove that The San Francisco
Chronicle printed a story titled, "Thompson's
Ugly, Pathetic Glove is a Gem." Robby was part an integral part of the Giants
1989 National League Championship Team and is a member of the SF Giants Wall of
Fame at AT&T Park. |

| | Signing
for almost two hours, Robby was great. Signing, chatting, and posing for pictures
with Giants fans of all ages, Robby was a hit. A great guy who is also an important
part of San Francisco Giants Baseball (and member of the AT&T Park "Wall
of Fame"). |
