The San Francisco Giants don’t hit the baseball very hard, and it makes me sad.
Not because of what that means for the on-field production, or anything. No, don’t be silly.
It makes me sad because you can detect so much pure joy from the voice of Jon Miller when he gets to cite a majestic exit velocity number from the MLB At Bat app, and I don’t like that the Giants are depriving a legend of elation simply because of their crusade against hard-hit contact.
Except for one man, known for the same exuberance that brands Miller: Pablo Sandoval.
