During the 60's and early 70's, the award became synonymous with the San Francisco Giants. Mays won it twice, Juan Marichal took it home in 1965, Willie McCovey went back-to-back with the center fielder in 1969, and Bobby Bonds won it in 1973.
But after Bonds' 2-hit day in 1973, a Giants batter didn't land a knock in the Midsummer Classic until third baseman Chris Brown's double in 1986.
Hammaker's 7-runs allowed in an appearance and an inning are still the most by any pitcher.
