Giants OF breaks record previously owned by somebody named "Willie Mays"

In one of the most unprecedented record-breaking situations in recent memory, former prospect and current journeyman outfielder Melky Cabrera broke the San Francisco Giants’ record for most hits in May with 50.

The previous mark was held by a little someone known as Hall of Famer Willie Mays.

…what?

Melky Cabrera got his 50th hit in May. A franchise record. Passes some guy Willie Mays. Think the Giants like the Jonathan Sanchez deal?

Yankees should have kept Melky Cabrera, a mistake this franchise will regret for years to come.

Melky Cabrera with 50 hits this month now. The all-time Giant record for hits in *any* month is Randy Winn with 51. #sfgiants
