Over the weekend, Dan in Warwick, an infamous caller into The Mike Francesa Show on WFAN, finally got his answer as to whether the two professional sports teams with the Giants name ever meet up. And this led to San Francisco Giants ace Logan Webb getting to show New York Giants legend turned ESPN broadcaster Eli Manning a chance to see his high school quarterback film.
The question from Dan in Warwick in 2015 served as one of the most memorable moments in the history of The Mike Francesa Show, largely because of the genuine sincerity of the question despite the San Francisco Giants and the New York Giants having no affiliation.
Hilariously, this moment was brought back to light over the weekend when the San Francisco Giants, who were in New York on a road trip against the New York Mets, did indeed finally do a meet-up with the New York Giants, an idea that was reportedly planned by the New York Giants marketing team.
In a video posted on social media, Mike Francesa walked in on the staged “meet up” between the two organizations, where Eli Manning and Shaun O’Hara represented the New York Giants and Logan Webb and Matt Chapman represented the San Francisco Giants. The post was also used to promote the upcoming fifth season of The Eli Manning Show on the Giants team website.
While the meet-up was largely satirical, there was some actual content to come from it. In particular, Logan Webb got to show Manning some of his film from his days as a high school quarterback at Rocklin High School in Rocklin, California.
Much as he has done over the years as a host of the ESPN alternate cast of Monday Night Football, the Manningcast, Manning picked apart several aspects of Webb’s technique as a quarterback.
“Oh, here is a little bootleg,” said Manning. “A little naked bootleg right there, hit the tight end in the flat. That looked good. Do you ever throw it down the field, more than like four yards? Oh, here is a little go route. How did that guy get so open? We gotta rewind that one. Oh, here is a shotgun, some pocket movement rolling out on the right. That looked pretty good.”
After seeing a few of Webb’s highlights, Manning did have one glaring critique, questioning how he can throw anywhere from 92 to 94 miles per hour as a pitcher, but lacks the ability to throw a deep ball as a quarterback.
“How fast can you throw your fastball?” asked Manning.
“It’s like 92-94,” replied Webb.
“And yet you can only throw a ball 25 yards down the field?” added Manning. “I don’t get it. I think you made the right option to stick with baseball. It was worth the six years in the minors.”
Given the fact that Webb was able to make his second All-Star team in 2025 and is in the midst of another great season in San Francisco, it’s safe to say that Manning is indeed correct in his assessment that Webb did indeed make the right decision to stick to baseball.
