...Giants pitcher, past or present?

Past: Close race between John "the Count" Montefusco (http://www.baseball-reference.com/m/montejo01.shtml) and Dave Dravecky (http://www.baseball-reference.com/d/draveda01.shtml).

The Count for being one of the all-time greats, and for throwing the last no-hitter for the Giants, and Dravecky for coming back from cancer. He was an inspiration for me during my fight.

Present: Probably Noah Lowry (http://www.baseball-reference.com/l/lowryno01.shtml). Kid's a lefty, and when he has his stuff together he has one of the nastiest curves in the league.

I have to say that I always hold a spot in my heart for closers like Robb Nen (http://www.baseball-reference.com/n/nenro01.shtml) and the late Rod Beck (http://www.baseball-reference.com/b/beckro01.shtml). That's the job I'd want in baseball.
