In 2006, a group of computer scientists, physicists, and engineers at MIT's research lab, developed a computer 
program that analyzed massive amounts of baseball data, and then, using this data, they would be able to determine and create the most perfect model for any given baseball position. The program was able to add, subtract, and combine features and characteristics from many different players and compile the very best into one complete and perfect model. Concerning their findings for pitching, the researchers at MIT discovered that the perfect pitcher would be a combination of Cy Young, Nolan Ryan, Sandy Koufax, Steve Carlton, and Walter Johnson. For batting, the computer program gave only one name, Brian Giles.

In 2003, Brian Giles met with Ronnie McFarlane, a 12 year old boy dying of a rare form of lung cancer. Ronnie had only one last request before he passed on, and that was that his favorite 
Padres player hit a home run for him in the big game against the LA Dodgers. Brian thought this request was rather modest, so he told Ronnie that he would not hit only one home run, but he would hit 5 homers on 5 consecutive pitches. Many close to Ronnie thought that this promise was to audacious and that when Brian would not be able to hit the 5 homers he promised, Ronnie's spirits would be dramatically damaged. But, on that fateful Tuesday night, Brian "Home Run King" Giles stepped up to the plate 5 times, homering on first pitch thrown each time. Miraculously, Giles performance lifted Ronnie's spirits so much, that his body naturally began fighting off the cancer, and within 2 months Ronnie completely recovered.

This is the essence of Brian Giles. His hitting has the ability to cure cancer.
