I remember Clark’s of course. Everyone does. But Johnnie LeMasters was the most unique. He hit a pop up that dropped in front of the Centerfielder. The Stick had AstroTurf at the time. Ball bounced over his head and Johnnie Lee had his inside the park HR in his first AB.
Bobby Bonds hit a Grand Slam in his first game if memory serves. I think the only other SF Giant to do that is Crawford.
I don’t think Tomlinson was eligible. He came up for one day about a week ago. Then sent back down. I believe you have to be in the minors for 10 days before you can be called back up. I could be wrong. But that’s highly unlikely. ?

Duggar started in CF today, led off and is 1 for 4 with a double so far, end of 6th. Giants finally gave Bum some run support and he left in the 6th after 101 pitches, leading 6-4. Then they scored 5 more in the bottom of the 6th to break the game open.
Black was rated one of the organization's top pitching prospects a couple of years ago but has been off the radar lately. He has high heat and will undoubtedly be used in the bullpen.
Yesterday they called up SS Chase d'Arnaud from Sacto when they put Panik on the DL. He's 31 and has a career BA of .223, only 457 ABs with 5 different clubs in 7 years. Kind of a puzzling move since they sent Tomlinson down and he's at least that good.

Thirty hit a home run on the first pitch. Three of those thirty hit grand slams, including Santa Clara's own Daniel Nava, hitting for the Boston Red Sox:
