One San Francisco Giants fan has gotten under the skin of the Atlanta Braves for refusing to return a meaningful splash hit home run ball to Michael Harris II.
Dave Edlund, known as “McCovey Cove Dave” retrieved the ball Harris hit for his first career grand slam and just the fourth grand slam ever into the famed San Francisco Bay outside Oracle Park in the top of the first inning during the Braves-Giants game on Wednesday night.
The Braves originally tried to get the ball back by offering the customarily signed baseball and bat, but Edlund – who has snagged 38 splash hits and 55 balls from the cove – told SFGate he has no interest in the memorabilia.
