While desperately searching for ideas this morning, I looked back at the box score of a Giants-Pirates game on May 9, 1988, played at Three Rivers Stadium in Pittsburgh. San Francisco won 8-6 and the starting pitcher that day was none other than Giants broadcaster Mike Krukow.
Leading off for the Pirates was Barry Lamar Bonds. He took a pitch for ball one. He did not take the second pitch. I don’t have video of the home run Bonds hit, but here’s a picture of the moment:
It was one of 20 leadoff home runs Bonds hit in his career.
