The San Francisco Giants will have three representatives at tonight's MLB All-Star Game, featuring Logan Webb, Robbie Ray, and Randy Rodríguez. Special focus is given to the memories of the 2016 All-Star Game, particularly the fan campaign that successfully voted Brandon Belt into the lineup. Celebrating the announcement while on the way to the stadium added excitement, culminating in a festive atmosphere with fans cheering for Belt when he took the field. Belt's performance in the game further solidified the moment as memorable.
I remember best was the push to get Brandon Belt voted in in the final fan vote. Myself, former McCovey Chronicles writer Carmen Kiew, and many others led the charge on social media.
We got the news that Belt had indeed made the team while we were on the ferry. By the time we reached the city, it was a big old party of happy Giants fans celebrating.
Belt ended up walking four times in that game. Legend. It was so fun to do my part to help push my favorite player towards the recognition.
Getting to actually be there to see the announcement on the field was icing on a very cool cake.
