Dave Edlund has been a beloved member of the San Francisco Giants fan base for a few decades now. But the latest home run snag for “McCovey Cove Dave” is earning him scorn from a different MLB team’s fans and reporters.
Edlund has been at the center of a minor controversy with Atlanta Braves supporters after he didn’t return a ball Braves outfielder Michael Harris II hit into McCovey Cove for a grand slam Wednesday night. According to multiple reporters covering the Braves, Edlund asked for a job with the Giants in exchange for the baseball.
