Pinch me! Pablo Sandoval still making history with Braves

Pablo Sandoval, really?

Anyone who said Sandoval was done last year, two years ago, five years ago - heck, in 2010 when he barely played in the Giants’ postseason because he was in such poor shape - shame on you.

The decorated Panda hit three pinch homers in the Braves’ first 13 games, and he needs just one more in the next 5 ½ months to equal the franchise record.

After Mike Yastrzemski’s game-winning pinch homer April 6, the Giants’ outfielder said he learned about pinch-hitting just by watching Sandoval, his former locker neighbor whose 18 pinch hits in 2019 tied a Giants West Coast record.
