Is there anyone who has played for both the Yomiuri Giants and San Francisco Giants? Dan Gladden?

The first person to come to mind is "Masshii" Murakami, the first Japanese player to play in MLB.

I think Gary Thomasson is another.

I just remembered Felipe Crespo last year, too. There are probably quite a few.

Reggie Smith went directly from the SF Giants in 1982 to the Yomiuri Giants in 1983-84.

Keith Comstock was another double Giant.

There are probably a lot more double Giants that I can't recall immediately.

About

This is a site about Pro Yakyu (Japanese Baseball), not about who the next player to go over to MLB is. It's a community of Pro Yakyu fans who have come together to share their knowledge and opinions with the world. It's a place to follow teams and individuals playing baseball in Japan (and Asia), and to learn about Japanese (and Asian) culture through baseball.

It is my sincere hope that once you learn a bit about what we're about here that you will join the community of contributors.
