After winning back-to-back World Series titles, one with the Los Angeles Dodgers and another with the Atlanta Braves, Joc Pederson did something that most baseball players never do during their careers. He came home.
Giants left fielder Joc Pederson rounds the bases after hitting a home run against the San Diego Padres.
Pederson’s always been someone who does it big, whether he’s swinging for the fences or strutting around the bases to taunt a fan who heckled him before he hit a home run, as he did during an April 25 win in Milwaukee. That boldness separates him from many of the other players who choose to play for their childhood team, who typically look for a return home as a chance to live quietly in their hometown.
Parents Stu and Shelley are also regulars at the ballpark, often bringing along family and friends for the occasion. Coming home to the Bay Area hasn’t just been something his parents had hoped for; Joc himself had been eyeing the organization for years, and the opportunity lined up after the end of the 2021 season.
His allusion to the Giants’ success with one-year deals implies a hope to parlay a successful 2022 into cashing in on a long-term deal, whether in San Francisco or elsewhere.
