allowed Bordley's rights to the San Francisco Giants. He joins Tom Seaver as the only two MLB players ever having the Commissioner allow a player a special lottery. He signed a Major League Contract and a then record $250,000 signing bonus. In 1981, MLBPA President Marvin Miller, won an arbitration case supporting Bordley's contention that his Major League contract and bonus were salary, resulting in additional accrued pension benefits. After only one year in the minors, the Giants promoted Bordley to the Major Leagues and put him in their starting rotation, joining Vida Blue, as left handed starters. Bordley's debut with the Giants was on June 30, 1980. He appeared in the game as the Giants starting pitcher against the Cincinnati Reds. He registered a strike out against the first batter faced, Reds outfielder Dave Collins. Bordley would go on to give up 3 runs over 6 innings to earn the win over Reds pitcher and future Hall of Famer Tom Seaver. He also collected his first Major League hit off Seaver. Bordley would also tally a strike out against Johnny Bench, another future Hall of Famer. In Bordley's second start in Cincinnati, he surrendered a historic home run to Bench, tying Yogi Berra for all time home runs by a catcher. Bordley won his first two starts against the Reds and in his 3rd start in Pittsburgh, held the World Champion Pirates to 1 earned run in 7 innings. Bordley had multiple Tommy John surgeries later in 1980-1981 and was on the Major League disabled list for most of the 1981 and 1982 seasons, never to return to the Major Leagues. He was released following a comeback attempt in the Giants minor league system in 1982. In 1983, Atlanta Braves Manager, Joe Torre, invited Bordley to Major League Spring Training.
