Brandon Belt made a post-surgery appearance on Wednesday as he received the Bill Rigney Good Guy Award. This award is presented to the San Francisco Giant and Oakland Athletic who has been the most cooperative with the press throughout the season. His Oakland counterpart was Stephen Piscotty.
Belt, always humble, noted that he should have received the award long ago in his first season. He also shed some light on his recent knee surgery. He previously had knee surgery in 2015 for meniscus clean up, and though this seemed like it might be similar, it ended up being more complex.
