That also means that today’s grid has asked for players that have played for both the San Francisco Giants and the Baltimore Orioles
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 for both the Giants and the Orioles.
Will Clark
Will Clark, who played from 1986 to 2000, is best known for his time as a first baseman with the San Francisco Giants. Clark had a stellar career, racking up over 2100 hits, 284 home runs, and a .303 career batting average.
He was a six-time All-Star (Giants, Rangers) and won a Gold Glove (Giants) and two Silver Slugger awards (Giants). In his rookie season, Clark famously homered in his first major league at-bat. His best season might have been 1989 when he hit .333 with 23 home runs and led the Giants to the World Series.
Known for his sweet left-handed swing and competitive spirit, Clark was one of the top first basemen of his era.
Kevin Gausman
Kevin Gausman played collegiate baseball at LSU and quickly drew attention for his pitching prowess. He was selected by the Baltimore Orioles as the fourth overall pick in the 2012 MLB Draft.
With the Orioles, Gausman began to establish himself in the starting rotation, delivering several quality starts and continuously refining his repertoire. Following his time in Baltimore, he went on to play for the Atlanta Braves, where he further solidified his role as a dependable starting pitcher.
Gausman has also had stints with the Reds, Giants, and Blue Jays. His tenure with the Giants showcased his continued development (and first All-Star selection), with improved command and utilization of his secondary pitches, making him one of the top pitchers in the league.

Joe Carter
When I hear Joe Carter I still picture him in a Toronto Blue Jays uniform running the bases after hitting a walk-off home run to win the World Series in 1993.
In addition to the Blue Jays, Joe Carter played for 5 other teams over his 16 year career – the Indians (now Guardians), Padres, Cubs, Giants and Orioles.
The five-time All-Star (all with the Blue Jays) led the league in RBIs with 121 in 1986 while playing with the Cleveland Indians.
Miguel Tejada
Miguel Tejada racked up 6 All-Star awards and an MVP award in 2002 while playing with the Oakland Athletics. He led the league in RBIs with 150 in 2004 while with the Orioles. He also led the league in doubles with 50 in 2005 with the Orioles.
Tejada played for six different teams over his 16-year career – Oakland, Baltimore, Houston, Kansas City, San Diego and the San Francisco Giants.
