Giants’ Bader autographs food truck dented by spring training home run

PHOENIX (AP) — It’s been quite an ordeal for Harrison Bader, who left a mark with his first home run for the San Francisco Giants in spring training.

Bader’s 408-foot homer to left field in the Giants’ 13-12 loss to Milwaukee on Wednesday left a visible gash near the top on the side of a food truck. After leaving the game, the center fielder visited that concession area, met the truck owner and – instead of partaking in an acai bowl – added his autograph just below where the ball hit on the volley.

After climbing, Bader signed his name with his number and added, “Sorry.”

“It’s just a fun, random thing,” Bader told reporters.

Bader, who is expected to play for Israel in the World Baseball Classic, joined the Giants last month after agreeing to a two-year, $20.5 million contract.

The 31-year-old, a Gold Glove winner with St. Louis in 2021, hit .277 with 17 home runs, 54 RBIs and a .796 OPS in 146 games with the Minnesota Twins and Philadelphia Phillies in 2025.
