Alex Smith receives standing ovation at Oracle Park

As chronicled by SF-based AP sports writer Janie McCauley, Smith spent the evening greeting fans, signing autographs and snapping selfies.

Eventually, the Oracle Park stadium staff and the NBC Sports Bay Area broadcast team caught wind of Smith’s presence, and gave the former Pro Bowler some Jumbotron attention, sparking a standing ovation from the Oracle crowd.

And, it appears, Smith may become a regular fixture at Giants games in the years to come. According to McCauley, Smith recently re-settled in the Bay Area.

“This is home. We just moved back here a couple weeks ago,” Smith told McCauley.
