1. Angel Pagan's inside-the-park walk-off home run on May 25th, 2013

Angel Pagan liked to refer to himself as the "Crazy Horse." Never was that on display more than on the game-winning hit on May 25, 2014. With the Giants trailing the Rockies 5-4 with one on and one out in the 10th, Pagan skied a fly ball to Triples Alley. 

The ball smacked off the bottom of the wall and kicked away from two Rockies outfielders, and Pagan never broke stride. Third base coach Tim Flannery never wavered, either. Flannery waved Pagan the whole way and his headfirst slide was just ahead of the throw, setting off a raucous celebration at AT&T Park. 

Pagan became the first big leaguer in 10 years to end a game with an inside-the-park homer. He was the first Giant to do it since Bill Terry in 1931.

VS.

2. Brandon Crawford's seven-hit game in Miami in 2016 featuring game-winning single in 14th.

Bruce Bochy was hospitalized briefly when the Giants visited Miami two years ago. He watched the first game of the series on TV instead, and what he saw was one of the greatest individual performances in franchise history. In a game that lasted 14 innings and five hours, 34 minutes, shortstop Brandon Crawford became the first player in 41 years to get seven hits. 

Crawford broke Mike Benjamin's franchise record by piling up five singles, a double and a triple, and he tied the National League record. The seven-hit performance was the first since the Pirates' Rennie Stennett did it in 1975. Three of the hits -- including an RBI single in the 14th -- came in extra innings. 

"I mean, in the history of the Giants, and all the great players that came through, it's pretty crazy to be in that small company," Crawford said. 

The next day, he gave his bat to the Hall of Fame.
