Haller
Molina
Yadier Molina won nine GGs. Bengie Molina won two, both with the Angels pre-SF Giants. Haller never won it, and his best years actually came with the Dodgers. Santiago won three Gold Gloves, all with the Padres pre-SF Giants.
The Giants' catchers who won a Gold Glove include Posey (2016); Mike Matheny who won three in a row, the first two with the Cardinals, the last with the Giants in 2005; and Kirt Manwaring (1993). Manwaring was an excellent defensive catcher. He threw out 42% (or more) of stolen base attempts in five seasons, leading the league twice in 1992 (51%) and 1993 (46%). By comparison, Buster's best season was 38%.

Haller and Bailey in 1962 were one of the most potent catching duos of all time. Not known for defense.
Bailey was one of the sluggers on the 56 Reds when they tied the record for team homers. What team set it first? What teammate was one of the first African American members of the Seals?

Roger Craig...I think this is the only time I've ever seen two managers go at it, Roger Craig and Whitey Herzog....

And the long version. Willie McGee, pre-Giants, Krukow in tussle.

IIRC, Krukow hurt his shoulder in that fracas.

Which regular starting pitcher won his league's ERA title with the fewest wins over the course of a season? The worst winning percentage?

This took hours to think but I do think Gaylord Perry with the worst winning %
Well if last season counts it’s whoever won but I don’t recall who

Your 2020 wins co-leaders were Shane Bieber and Yu Darvish with 8.
Bieber was the ERA leader at 1.63, so if last season counted, I'm fairly sure Bieber would have won with 8.
1994 was another shortened season (due to the strike). Greg Maddux was the ERA leader that year (1.56). He went 16-6 that year.
I wouldn't be surprised if the winner had an injury-shortened season. To qualify for the ERA title, the pitcher would have to pitch at least 1 inning for each of its team's game (so, typically 162 innings), which a player could reach in <30 starts.

Going to guess Koufax who was the youngest person elected to the HoF (except for Lou Gehrig for whom there were extenuating circumstances). He got in in 1972, so he's at 48 years and counting.
Koufax is one of five pitchers to have more strikeouts than innings pitched. Who are the other four?
