San Francisco Giants outfielder Mike Yastrzemski hit his first home run of the season during the club’s 5-4 win over the Seattle Mariners on Sunday.<\/p>\n

But Yastrzemski’s home run, a three-run blast in the bottom of the fourth inning that gave the Giants their first lead of the game, was also a special long ball for another reason.<\/p>\n

Yastrzemski’s home run was also a father delivering on a promise to his daughter, in what may be one of the cutest called shots in baseball history.<\/p>\n

https:\/\/twitter.com\/MLB\/status\/1909022208812261702?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1909022208812261702%7Ctwgr%5Eb9f597e0c90daf1f562460d77d18c9b7a4c230a6%7Ctwcon%5Es1_c10&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.si.com%2Fmlb%2Fmike-yastrzemski-home-run-promise-to-daughter<\/p>\n

“Today I gotta give a shoutout to my daughter Quinley, honestly,” Yastrzemski said in a postgame interview with NBC Sports Bay Area and California. “Because she asked for a home run\u2014so I promised her I’d get a home run so Quinny, I love you, miss you…”<\/p>\n

But in an amusing turn of events, Yastrzemski revealed to reporters after the game that his daughter actually asked for more than just a home run.<\/p>\n

“Quinley asked me for a home run\u2014Well, she asked me specifically for a triple, a home run and a splash hit,” Yastrzemski said with a laugh. “So, she was trying to cover all the bases\u2014But yeah, I told her that I’d hit a home run for her. I can’t say no to her so I had to do what I could.”<\/p>\n

Did Quinley get to see her dad deliver the home run?<\/p>\n

“They’re home\u2014hopefully she was watching. I think Paige [his wife] said she was. It’s just nice to feel connected to them even when we’re kind of far away from each other.”<\/p>\n

The Giants host the Cincinnati Reds for three home games beginning on Monday night, so Yastrzemski will have a few chances to grab the triple and splash hit off of his daughter’s checklist.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
