Name the catchers

[LHG]

Can you name the 19 players that appeared at catcher for the Giants in the 90s (without looking them up)?

 

[calsnowskier]

I doubt it, but I will give it a shot...

Manwarring
Decker
Carter
Berryhill
Kennedy
Mayne
Wilkins
Johnson
Santiago
Estalella
Torealba
Parent
Brenly
Melvin

I named 14, I suspect at least 3 of these are wrong...

Parent is a good one. Lampkin, Reed, McNamara are three that come to mind. I don't remember Parent.

Scott Servais too.

Marcus Jensen.

I could have sworn Parent was our backup one year, but he never did play for the Giants. Maybe there were rumors of him coming to the Giants one year, something, and that planted the seed in my brain...

Only 8 right (assuming 1990-1999)

cal, you got 8 right. The other 11 are:
Bill Bathe
Mark Bailey
Craig Colbert (one of my personal favorites and I have no idea why)
Greg Litton (donned the tools of ignorance once in 1991)
Jim McNamara
Jeff Reed
Tom Lampkin
Marcus Jensen
Doug Mirabelli (how could you forget the guy that shuttled between Phoenix/Fresno and SF for what felt like a decade?)
Scott Servais
Edwards Guzman

This is the kind of minute trivia that makes me question my sanity.

Marcus Jensen.

tzill, I'm impressed. You rattled off a list of a few of the more obscure catchers from that decade.

 

[LHG]

No.

Sorry, wrong answer!

I did think of him. I just couldn't remember his name.

Opening Day Lineups: Giants Quiz

Only got 150/225. For some reason, the lineups for 2004 through 2008 were the hardest to remember, missed 34 points there alone. The only three I got completely correct were 1993, 1994 and 2015. I only missed one each on 1992, 2000, 2001, 2011 and 2013.

My buddies and I used to call Doug Mirabelli "Slug, kill a rally"

192.

I was working forward. Nailed most of the 90s, but was struggling on Castillo, Bocock, Vizquel, Roberts, etc.

I'm embarassed I missed Burrell, Huff, Methany, Arias, Torres, Riot, Melky.

Given another 5 mins, I probably could've gotten close

That doesn't rhyme with Benjie Molina.....

I don't really see there's any question you are insane.

I got Burrell, Huff and Mathany but also forgot Arias, Torres, Theriot and Cabrera.

Maybe that's what drew me to finally sign up over here.
