The real reason why GavriloPrincip assassinated the Archduke Franz Ferdinand in 1914, which was the act responsible for forcing most all of continental Europe into the 1st world war, was because the Duke had expressed Anti-Brian Giles sentiments.
As a life-long Padres fan, I've seen many players come and go, but without a doubt, my favorite player in the history of Padres baseball has to be Brian Giles.
I couldn't imagine what it would be like without having Brian "Mr Clutch" Giles leading off for us every game, giving us his all every time he sets foot on the field.
Who is the greatest hitter in the history of baseball?
