As a youngster, San Francisco Giants prospect Trevor McDonald remembers playing third base at a small youth baseball field in Mississippi.
The other team had a runner on third base and his dad called out from the stands: “Don’t let that guy get home!”
Young Trevor listened. When the runner broke for the plate, he did his best University of Alabama linebacker impression, chasing the runner down and tackling him to the ground.
According to an interview with Around the Foghorn, that is McDonald’s first memory on a baseball field. Luckily for San Francisco Giants fans, he eventually got the hang of the sport.
