Wednesday BP: How not to chase a baseball in a kayak

Hello and happy Wednesday.

On Tuesday night, during the San Francisco Giants 7-5 extra innings loss to the Colorado Rockies, a stellar Giants fan in McCovey Cove taught us something meaningful. We here at McCovey Cove Chronicles appreciate all things McCovey Cove, and all of life’s many lessons so ... here’s a lesson in how not to chase a floating baseball when in a kayak.

I haven’t been in a kayak in a decade, and I’ve never chased baseballs in one and yet ... this video is so very relatable. Dude is so close and oh no went right past it again.

Old, random MCC article for you to read
