PHOENIX (AP) — That was quite a dinger for Harrison Bader, who left a mark with his first home run for the San Francisco Giants this spring training.
Bader’s 408-foot homer to left field in the Giants’ 13-12 loss against Milwaukee on Wednesday put a visible dent near the top on the side of a food truck. After exiting the game, the center fielder visited that concession area, met the truck’s owner and — instead of partaking in an acai bowl — added his autograph just below where the ball hit on the fly.
After climbing up, Bader signed his name along with his number and added: “Sorry.”
“It’s just a random, funny thing,” Bader told reporters.
Bader, who is set to play for Israel in the World Baseball Classic, joined the Giants last month after agreeing to a $20.5 million, two-year contract.
The 31-year-old, a Gold Glove winner with St. Louis in 2021, batted .277 with 17 home runs, 54 RBIs and a .796 OPS in 146 games with the Minnesota Twins and Philadelphia Phillies in 2025.
