It’s important to remember history not just because there’s a chance that in forgetting it we’ll repeat it but because we celebrating the good times can remind us during the bad times that this is all just temporary.
All that said, I’m not sure where Kelby Tomlinson, starting Left Fielder, falls on the good-bad scale for each and every one of you, but it’s important to remember occasions like this in Giants history because 1) he’s still on the team 2) it’s the internet era, and we have a better chance of remembering little moments like this far longer than in previous eras (this will come up as a search result when you google “Kelby Tomlinson outfielder”) 3) it reminds us that Bruce Bochy can get super slutty when it comes to playing guys out of position and 4) we have a mental bookmark this season for when/if Tomlinson makes a key play in left field that gets the Giants into the playoffs in 2018.
