How Stephen Vogt's splash hit fulfilled his dream as young Giants fan

There aren't many in the history of Bay Area baseball who are more beloved than Stephen Vogt on both sides of the bridge.

Vogt spent parts of five seasons with the A's, making two All-Star teams and inspiring his own chant. He played for the Giants in 2019, providing offensive production behind Buster Posey while immediately becoming a leader in the clubhouse.

That run with the Giants kicked off in a memorable way. Vogt hadn't played in the big leagues since 2017 because of shoulder issues, but he was called up before a road trip and came off the bench with the Giants trailing the Cincinnati Reds by seven runs at Great American Ball Park.
