For years and years the intense Belt Wars have raged on in San Francisco. At times one side of the war has dominated, while at other times the opposing side has.
But there’s a new general in town, and he’s making his military strategy very well known. Yes, new San Francisco Giants manager Gabe Kapler is calling the war off. He’s bringing the troops home.
At Wednesday’s spring training festivities, Kapler spoke glowingly about Belt, the Giants first baseman for nearly the entire last decade.
At The Mercury News, Kerry Crowley notes that Kapler began his Wednesday media session by raving about Belt unprompted, before any media members had asked any questions.
