SAN FRANCISCO — The Giants are often maligned for putting too much emphasis on the back of the baseball card, counting on players to repeat the past.
For relying on players like 34-year-old Edgar Renteria, who has two sore shoulders and an elbow that needs surgery in the offseason. Renteria is clearly past his prime.
That said, Renteria will always be a part of a very select club. Renteria is one of just five players to have a walk-off hit to win Game 7 of the World Series. He did it with the 1997 Marlins. A dozen years later, Renteria is still a guy his teammates like to see at the plate in a clutch situation.
For moments like Sunday.
