2011 San Francisco Giants season

The San Francisco Giants are an American baseball team. Their 2011 season marked their 129th year in Major League Baseball, their fifty-fourth year in San Francisco since their move from New York following the 1957 season, and their 12th in AT&T Park. They opened the 2011 season as the defending World Series champions on March 31, 2011. However, they were eliminated from post-season contention on September 24, 2011, finishing eight games behind that season's National League West champion Arizona Diamondbacks. Despite missing the playoffs, the Giants led the majors in ninth inning comebacks.

Regular season

Coming off the team's 2010 World Series success and his two-year, $22 million contract, Aubrey Huff arrived at 2011 spring training out of shape.^[1][2] His OPS dropped 215 points from the previous season to .676, last among Major League first baseman in 2011.^[1][3][4] Well-intentioned fans sent him thongs throughout the season in hopes of improving his fortunes.^[3] Huff was accountable for his struggles contributing to the team's failure to return to the playoffs in 2011.^[1][2] During the top of the 12th inning in a game against the Marlins on May 25, 2011, Scott Cousins collided with Buster Posey at home plate. It was revealed that Posey had fractures in his lower left leg and ankle and would be out of the rest of the season.^[5] Some drew comparisons of the collision with a similar collision during the 1970 All-Star game when Pete Rose collided with Ray Fosse.^[6] Without Posey's presence in the lineup, the Giants would only manage to score 570 runs on offense and missed the postseason.^[7]
