77-year-old Giants ball boy sparks one of the great MLB comebacks of all time with incredible diving play
The 77-year-old ball boy for the San Francisco Giants pitched one of his best games of the season on Wednesday afternoon, leading to one of the great comebacks of the MLB season.
Trailing 9-1 in the eighth inning, the Giants staged one of the most stunning (and random) rallies you’ll ever see, scoring 10 runs in the final two innings to win 11-10. This is true.

What a sport.
