One San Francisco Giants fan has gotten under the skin of the Atlanta Braves for refusing to return a meaningful splash hit home run ball to Michael Harris II.
Dave Edlund, known as “McCovey Cove Dave” retrieved the ball Harris hit for his first career grand slam and just the fourth grand slam ever into the famed San Francisco Bay outside Oracle Park in the top of the first inning during the Braves-Giants game on Wednesday night.
Bally Sports South reporter Hanna Yates reiterated the claim Edlund wanted to be a Giants employee along with Harris’ take on not getting the ball during the pregame show on Thursday.“Then, he started responding to fans with a selfie with that ball on his social media accounts saying, ‘Well, small gesture, there is one thing,’” Yates said. “And so the Braves said, ‘What is that?’ And he said, ‘Well, I want to be a Giants team employee.’ So, not necessarily a small gesture there.
Analyst C.J. Nitkowski said ‘Boo to Dave” and play-by-play man Brandon Gaudin added that Edlund is not making friends in “the Atlanta clubhouse or in the Atlanta area.”Atlanta Braves’ Michael Harris II celebrates with teammates after hitting a grand slam in the first inning of a baseball game against the Atlanta Braves in San Francisco, Wednesday, Aug. 14, 2024.
Edlund claimed he had given plenty of balls back, including plenty of players’ first home runs without wanting anything in return.“I love chasing a home run and competing against fellow fans in a friendly way,” Edlund said. “ some fans, particularly Braves fans, are going to be mad knowing I still have the ball.
