Good morning, baseball fans!
The San Francisco Giants are wrapping up another week of baseball today, so it’s time to take a look back at the week that was and share our favorite highlights.
For me, it was an extremely easy decision this week. During Wednesday’s loss to the Pittsburgh Pirates, Mike Yastrzemski made one of the best catches of the year, hands down.
He also was promptly traded for his efforts, but it was still the best Giants highlight of the week in my book so I’m not changing it.
I did not get to watch the game live, but I started seeing pictures trickle through my social media feeds that made it look like Yastrzemski was mid-flight. It was jaw-dropping. And then I got to watch the play and it was even better.
There’s something about the way Yastrzemski holds his glove out triumphantly, and the call by the broadcasters, that really conveyed the absolute joy that is baseball. The “I GOT IT! I GOT IT!” feeling of making your first meaningful catch in the outfield. You’re so astounded you have to hold your glove out to show everyone. It was truly a highlight of the year, in my book. I’ll miss ya, dude.
