An extremely scary sight at Saturday’s Cactus League game between the San Francisco Giants and Kansas City Royals immediately erased all concerns about a shoddy offensive performance from the Giants. It made the left field battle seem unimportant, and the battle royal for an infield bench job seem trivial.
New Giants’ first base coach Jose Alguacil was sitting outside the dugout on a folding chair, next to manager Bruce Bochy near the on-deck circle, when a foul ball off the bat of Royals’ prospect Hunter Dozier came screaming back and hit Alguacil in the face.
