The next day, Kingman was pictured on the front page of the San Francisco Examiner, smiling as he got off the team bus.
“I wonder what I’m doing here,” Kingman told the Examiner. “I have an awful lot to learn about this game. I never expected to get into the playoffs or the (World Series).”
Kingman played in each of the four games of the NLCS vs. the Pirates, starting the first two contests in right field before Bonds returned from his rib cage injury. He totaled one hit in nine at-bats as San Francisco fell to Pittsburgh.
It would be the only four games of Kingman’s postseason career.
With McCovey back healthy following knee surgery, the Giants moved Kingman to third base in the spring of 1972 to get his bat into the lineup. At 6-foot-6, he was one of the tallest third basemen in big league history.
“The kid has more poise than I’ve seen in a long time for a rookie,” Giants manager Charlie Fox told United Press International. “He’s got talent that hasn’t even been discovered and there’s no question in my mind he will be a superstar
