The 1963 Giants finished 88–74, placing third in the National League under manager Alvin Dark. Willie Mays delivered another elite season with 38 home runs and 103 RBI, while Willie McCovey added big power with 44 homers. Juan Marichal led the pitching staff with a 25–8 record and a 2.41 ERA, emerging as one of baseball’s dominant aces. Despite strong individual performances and one of the league’s most dangerous lineups, San Francisco couldn’t catch the Dodgers and Cardinals in a tightly contested pennant race.
