For the first two-thirds of their opening day game, Brandon Belt and the San Francisco Giants certainly were not on their 'A' game. But, it's all about how you finish...and boy, did they ever.
The San Francisco Giants are making their 2nd return to the world series in the past 3 years. This year, an East Texan will be in the starting line up.
Brandon Belt, who played his high school ball at Hudson, has been one of the hottest hitters in the Majors over the past 5 weeks. He batted .349 in August and is batting .625 so far in September.
Brandon Belt, who was born in Nacogdoches and played his high school ball at Hudson, is on fire!!
He currently has an 11 game hitting streak for the San Francisco Giants, which includes 4 homers and some very clutch hitting performances.
Brandon Belt, who played his high school ball at Hudson, will be the first to tell you that his offensive numbers so far this season are not where he wants them to be.
Maybe things are looking up...as in up, and out of the ball park.
At the beginning of this year's spring training, it looked like the deck was pretty heavily stacked against the odds of Brandon Belt being on the San Francisco Giants opening day roster.
At least, that's what the 'experts' thought...
What a way to make your return to the Major Leagues!!
A couple of days ago, Hudson's Brandon Belt was called back up to the San Francisco Giants and MAN!! what an impact he had on his first night back.
What a great day for Major League Baseball and East Texas.
One of our own is getting the call tonight as Hudson's own Brandon Belt is set to be the San Francisco Giants starting first baseman tonight as they travel to take on the Los Angeles Dodgers.
