Giants designate Travis Ishikawa for assignment

There's still a chance that the once-and-forever postseason hero will be back in September, though.

Six days ago, the Giants gave away a Travis Ishikawa bobblehead. It was a fancy one that had a sound chip and required a special-event ticket. On June 13, more Ishikawa bobbleheads will be given away. Ishikawa is no longer on the 40-man roster, as the Giants designated him for assignment on Monday. This is awkward.

It was almost predictable, too, except it was hard to tell just how nostalgic the Giants were going to be. Ishikawa is reportedly one of the sweetest fellers in the clubhouse, and he was responsible for one of the greatest moments in franchise history.
