Baseball Players who Played for Brewers and Giants
There is a good chance that if you’ve found this page then you’re playing the Immaculate Grid.
That also means that today’s grid has asked for players that have played for both the Milwaukee Brewers and San Francisco Giants.
And, it also means that you’re probably stuck on this particular box and you’re looking for a little help. Sound about right so far?
Well, good news, you’re in the right place.
I’ve done some research and have found players who played on both the Brewers and the Giants.
Rob Deer
Rob Deer, who played from 1984 to 1996, is best known for his time as an outfielder with the Detroit Tigers and Milwaukee Brewers.
In his 11-year career, Deer hit 230 home runs, collected over 800 hits, and maintained a batting average of .220. He was one of the prominent “three true outcomes” players, known for hitting home runs, drawing walks, or striking out (Deer led the league in strikeouts four different times).
His best season came in 1986 with the Brewers when he hit 33 home runs with 86 RBIs.
Mike Caldwell
Mike Caldwell, primarily a starting pitcher, had an impressive career in the MLB, which ran from 1971 to 1984. He played for multiple teams including the San Diego Padres, San Francisco Giants, Cincinnati Reds, and most notably, the Milwaukee Brewers.
With a career ERA of 3.81, he won 137 games and lost 130. In the 1978 season, Caldwell had a standout performance with a 22-9 win-loss record, a 2.36 ERA, and finishing second in the Cy Young Award voting.
He also helped lead the Brewers to the World Series in 1982.
Royce Clayton
Royce Clayton, an infielder primarily known for his time at shortstop, had a 17-year career in Major League Baseball from 1991 to 2007. Starting with the San Francisco Giants, Clayton played for a total of 11 teams including the St. Louis Cardinals, Texas Rangers, and Chicago White Sox.
Clayton earned his lone All-Star appearance with the Cardinals in 1997. However, Clayton’s best offensive year arguably came in 1999 with the Texas Rangers when he hit .288 with 14 home runs and 75 RBIs.
His career ended with over 1900 hits, 110 home runs, 723 RBIs, and a .258 batting average.
