Harrison Bader launched his first home run as a member of the Giants on Wednesday and left a mark — literally — on one food truck.
The San Francisco Giants were taking on the Milwaukee Brewers when the former Florida standout stepped up to bat in the top of the fourth. He mashed a ball 408 feet and 113.8 mph off his bat into left field to give him his first homer as a Giant, and the ball found a food truck in the outfield, leaving a noticeable dent.
After the game, Bader went out to the food truck, Cactus Bowls, that he hit and signed the dent, saying, “Sorry.”
The Giants would go on to lose 13-12 to the Brewers, but the dent stole the show.
Bader was a member of the Gators baseball team from 2013 to 2015. In 2015, he was a member of the College World Series All-Tournament Team and Second-team All-SEC. He would end up getting drafted in the third round of the 2015 MLB Draft by the St. Louis Cardinals.
What could’ve been just a dent in the food truck is now an unforgettable memory for the food truck owners. Cactus Bowls now has a mark that all baseball fans will recognize when they go and visit American Family Fields of Phoenix.
