Aye, aye: See the Giants 'sea men' pose with new captain Brandon Belt

Aye, aye, captain Brandon Belt.

After the Giants' first baseman anointed himself the team leader, complete with a hilarious taped-on "C" added to his uniform, on Sept. 10, his teammates decided to take his promotion to the next level.

"You know, somebody has got to step up, and when you're the alpha male on the team it's got to be you," Belt said at the time. "I put the 'C' on my chest and I went to work today, and thankfully it worked out."

Apparently, Evan Longoria stuck the "C" on Belt's jersey as a joking response to Belt's insistence on the team plane that he deserved the title.
