Nate the Great joins list of Splash Hits
After failing to deliver a Splash Hit in the first three months of the season, the Giants added their second Splash Hit in a week on Friday, when Nate Schierholtz blasted an R.A. Dickey pitch into the Bay on Friday.
It was the 57th Splash Hit at AT&T Park, and Schierholtz become the 14th Giants to record a Splash Hit.

Actually, it should have been Schierholtz’s second Splash Hit of the week. One of Schierholtz’s two home runs on Wednesday against the Padres hit halfway up the right-field foul pole. If it had not hit the foul pole, the ball would have landed in the bay.
All hail Nate the Great.

MoreSplashHits pays homage to Sandoval’s recent Splash Hit
Here we are called “MoreSplashHits” and then there’s a Splash Hit, and we don’t say a thing for four days.
Our bad.
But Pablo Sandoval hit the first Splash Hit since The Panda hit one into the bay way back on Sept. 30 of last season when he belted a two-run home run off the Padres’ Ernesto Fieri on Monday.
It was Sandoval’s fifth Splash Hit. He is second on the Splash Hit list behind Barry Bonds’ 35.
If you missed it, here it is.
