Talk about bringing the crowd back to life. Pads ended up winning 9-8.

Camarena spent 10 yrs in the minors; this was his (correction) 1st AB in this game & his 2nd overall,

Learning not to rely on sportscasters - or trust my ears - for info…

I know he went on to great things in a Giants uniform and he loves SF and the Giants.

But to me he will always be an Astro and an all time favorite.

He was immensely popular on this board. Everybody loved him.
