Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. The Giants won the National League West Division under the guiding light of which manager?

Answer: Bruce Bochy

Bochy was in his fourth season with the Giants after managing the San Diego Padres for 12 seasons. He was the NL Manager of the Year in 1996 with the Padres. In his successive seasons with the Giants, he took them to 71 wins, 72 wins, 88 wins, then 94 in 2010 to win the NL West.

2. What was the longest winning streak that the Giants had during the season?

Answer: 5 games

3. Who did the Giants trade away mid-season to make room for the future 2010 Rookie of the Year, Buster Posey?

Answer: Bengie Molina

In a shock to San Francisco fans, the Giants traded Molina mid-season to the Rangers for two rather no-names in Michael Main and Chris Ray. Molina was instrumental in helping the Rangers to their first World Series in 2010, and Posey went on to win the Rookie of the Year Award for the Giants.

4. In the 162-game season, how many total days did the Giants have a hold on first place in their division?

Answer: 33

5. Which National League team did the Giants have the best record against in 2010?

Answer: Arizona Diamondbacks

The Giants dominated the Diamondbacks, and took the 18-game season match-up by winning 13 games. Arizona finished in last place of the NL West with a 65-97 record. The Giants also won 10 of their 18 games against the Dodgers.

6. How many Giant pitchers won at least 15 games in the season?

Answer: 1

7. After winning the NLDS against the Braves three games to one, which Giant hit three home runs in the NLCS against the Phillies?

Answer: Cody Ross

Ross batted .350 with seven hits including his three home runs in a four games to two win over the Phillies. Cody received the NLCS MVP Award for his efforts.

Answer: Cliff Lee

Along with Mark Lowe and cash, the Mariners gave up Lee for Blake Beavan, Josh Lueke, Matthew Lawson, and Justin Smoak. The Giants won game one 11-7. Lowe also pitched in the series and had an ERA of 67.50.

9. The San Francisco Giants won the World Series against the Rangers by which game score?

Answer: 4 games to 1

The only Giant loss was in game three with the Rangers winning 4-2. The Rangers scored three runs in the second inning off Jonathan Sanchez, and that would be all they needed. The Rangers were also helped by home runs via Josh Hamilton and Mitch Moreland.

10. Capping off the 2010 San Francisco World Series title season, which Giant was named World Series MVP?

Answer: Edgar Renteria

Although Lincecum won two games for the Giants, Renteria batted .412 with seven hits, two home runs, and six RBIs.
