Giants first round draft pick Hunter Bishop shares emotional story about his mom

The San Francisco Giants drafted a Bay Area native in the MLB Draft on Monday night. And he's got a story to tell.

Hunter Bishop, who grew up in Palo Alto and graduated from Junipero Serra High before playing college ball at Arizona State University, was drafted with the 10th pick of the draft. About a week before the draft, he shared his journey to the big leagues on the Pac-12 Network's "Our Stories" show.

The interview focused on Bishop's relationship with this mother, Suzy Bishop, who was diagnosed with early-onset Alzheimer's disease while he was in high school.
