Yes. But because they weren't the only ones, that's not the sentence finish I was looking for.



Besides. it'd be pretty ho-hum if that's what I was getting at.

That's right. From The Athletic:


But no, we are not kidding you. The impossible has happened. Baseball's most lovable 42-year-old helmet-flying, swinging, missing, pirouetting, comic-relief inducing, stop-what-you're-doing-because-Bartolo's-up, Round Mound of Screwing Around hit a freaking homer. And let me repeat: We are not kidding you. We have 41,028 witnesses at Petco Park to prove it.
