"An SF Giants fan made quite the splash on Wednesday when he was broadcast getting dropped off in McCovey Cove via water taxi, which quickly went viral. It was later confirmed that the man was an off-duty boat captain. As SFGate reports, during the first inning of Wednesday night's Giants game against the Cubs at Oracle Park, a curious sight occurred at McCovey Cove. The Madison Lynne water taxi, owned by Westar Marine Services, pulled up to the portwalk and dropped off a person who then climbed the railing and sauntered into the ballpark."
"The video went viral and became a top post on several Reddit channels. SFGate writes that the man turned out to be an off-duty boat captain who had just dropped off a ship at an anchoring spot, which was confirmed by Westar Marine Services dispatcher and social media guy, Jamie Horton. I was like, Oh, that's awesome,' Horton told SFGate when he heard about the drop-off. I guess all publicity is good publicity."
During the first inning of a Giants–Cubs game at Oracle Park, a water taxi pulled up at McCovey Cove and dropped off a person who climbed the railing and entered the ballpark. The vessel involved was the Madison Lynne, operated by Westar Marine Services from a base near Pier 50. Broadcasters showed footage of the drop-off and the clip spread quickly across social platforms and Reddit. The individual was an off-duty boat captain who had just dropped off a ship at an anchoring spot and asked for a ride to the ballpark. Westar said the drop-off was a special circumstance; the taxi normally follows a designated route around the Bay.
