7. Willie Mays (1951-1973)

Mays is a true Giants icon. He was a gifted fielder but his true skills came out in the batting area. Mays holds the third-best mark in WARs among all position players in MLB. Mays was fantastic during his career, amassing 660 home runs, the fifth best in MLB history. He certainly left a legacy for himself as he became one of three players to collect 6,000 total bases.
