I will always remember this trade as the day the Giants made one of the worst
trades in their history.
December 1, 1965 the San Francisco Giants traded Matty Alou to the Pittsburgh Pirates for Joe Gibbon and Ozzie Virgil. Alou was one of if not the best outfielders in the Giants organization and they traded him for nothing. Alou went on to have several great years with Pittsburgh and Gibbon went on to do very little and Virgil not much either.:nono:
