This is an archive of mostly minor league team photos from affiliates of the New York and San Francisco Giants baseball club. There will be occasional posts that are not of affiliates or team photos, but they will be related in some way. I will initially be posting various photos from my personal collection. I will try to update at least weekly until I have no more to post. After that, I will post when I get new photos. If you have any photos that you would like to add to the archive or if you can help identify any unknown entries, please email: charhodder@yahoo.com. I am willing to trade high-quality scans via email and am also willing to provide scans to regional museums and historical societies that may be interested in photos of local interest. Please feel free to save, copy or link any of these pictures that are not credited directly to anyone.Tumblr (3.0; @giantsfarmphotos)http://giantsfarmphotos.tumblr.com/<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/6f3bdc0ca8ca9345478abdf9b42c8f12/tumblr_mhn17iMOFS1qzb3cxo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><div class="caption"> <p><strong>1986 Will Clark - Phoenix Firebirds - AAA - Pacific Coast League</strong></p> <p>A rare shot of Will Clark while on a six game injury rehabilitation stint with Phoenix in 1986.</p> <p>4 x 6 color photograph</p> </div>http://giantsfarmphotos.tumblr.com/post/42176427566http://giantsfarmphotos.tumblr.com/post/42176427566Sun, 03 Feb 2013 01:33:18 -0800<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/f13e1d3b3c176abd52151719fb549e37/tumblr_mhn0zc02Ag1qzb3cxo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><div class="caption"> <p><strong>2008 Tokyo Yomiuri Giants - Nippon Professional Baseball - Central League</strong></p> <p>Notable players include: Shinosuke Abe, Luis Gonzalez, Hisanori Takahashi, Koji Uehara and Alex Ramirez</p> <p>Inside cover from the 2008 Tokyo Giants yearbook</p> </div>http://giantsfarmphotos.tumblr.com/post/42176270867http://giantsfarmphotos.tumblr.com/post/42176270867Sun, 03 Feb 2013 01:28:24 -0800<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/2ba8adc862c31cfdf2b59dee6c3452ac/tumblr_mhn0rjdKCK1qzb3cxo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><div class="caption"> <p><strong>1936 Tallahassee Capitals - Class D - Georgia-Florida League</strong></p> <p>Notable players include: None </p> <p>Page from a Reach Baseball Guide</p> </div>http://giantsfarmphotos.tumblr.com/post/42176118654http://giantsfarmphotos.tumblr.com/post/42176118654Sun, 03 Feb 2013 01:23:43 -0800<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/9eea1c26f2a70eabf59b9d8a26080148/tumblr_mhn0onWt4l1qzb3cxo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><strong>1970 Amarillo Giants - AA - Texas League</strong></p> <p>Notable players include: Dave Kingman, Gary Lavelle and Chris Speier</p> <p>Scan provided by Michael Higgins</p>http://giantsfarmphotos.tumblr.com/post/42176059806http://giantsfarmphotos.tumblr.com/post/42176059806Sun, 03 Feb 2013 01:21:59 -0800<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/221a972c336e408762fa64d4a1ea16ae/tumblr_mhn0mo4iya1qzb3cxo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><div class="caption"> <p><strong>1969 Amarillo Giants - AA - Texas League</strong></p> <p>No player identification - Notable players include: Alan Gallagher</p> <p>Scan provided by Michael Higgins</p> </div>http://giantsfarmphotos.tumblr.com/post/42176021252http://giantsfarmphotos.tumblr.com/post/42176021252Sun, 03 Feb 2013 01:20:48 -0800<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/7fd70c1584515a6b537d5e6041ba34ac/tumblr_mhn0igEFEm1qzb3cxo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><div class="caption"> <p><strong>1967 Fresno Giants - A - California League</strong></p> <p>Notable players include: Ron “Bear” Bryant</p> <p>Scan provided by Michael Higgins</p> </div>http://giantsfarmphotos.tumblr.com/post/42175939898http://giantsfarmphotos.tumblr.com/post/42175939898Sun, 03 Feb 2013 01:18:16 -0800<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_mdamx8N4VN1qzb3cxo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><strong>1948 New York Cubans - Negro Major Leagues (open classification) - Negro National League</strong></p> <p>In 1948, Cubans owner Alex Pompez saw the end coming for the Negro Leagues after Jackie Robinson broke in with the Dodgers. He decided it would be a prudent business move to sign an official working agreement with the New York Giants, whom he’d been working with unofficially for years (and also renting the Polo Grounds from for Cubans home games.) The New York Cubans were the only Negro League team to ever officially become affiliated with a Major League organization. The Cubans stayed affiliated with the Giants until the team folded in 1950, when Pompez stayed on as a Latin America scout for the Giants. </p> <p>No player identification</p> <p>Notable players include: Minnie Miñoso, Dave Barnhill and Ray Noble</p> <p>8 x 10 black and white reproduction photograph</p>http://giantsfarmphotos.tumblr.com/post/35437777685http://giantsfarmphotos.tumblr.com/post/35437777685Sat, 10 Nov 2012 14:39:00 -0800<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_mdamcmmru11qzb3cxo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><div class="post"> <div class="photo"> <div class="caption"> <p><strong>2012 Salem-Keizer Volcanoes -
