The article reflects on the excitement of upcoming exhibition games for the San Francisco Giants, reminiscing about a special 2016 game against the Sacramento River Cats. Despite personal turmoil due to a family death, the author's spirits were lifted by Brandon Belt's home run, which they witnessed up close. This experience led them to share another notable home run by Austin Slater in 2019. The author invites readers to share their own favorite Giants home run memories, highlighting the emotional ties fans have with these moments.
It was my first time attending a game at the River Cats' ballpark, and after visiting with a few of the McCoven, I decided to take a walk around the park and I ended up out near the lawn seating area. It was at this point that Belt proceeded to hit a home run directly at me.
I guess my runner-up home run would be when Austin Slater hit a grand slam at the McCovey Chronicles meet-up game back in 2019. It was no Brandon Belt special delivery, but it was pretty cool.
