The playoff races are heating up, its early September, and the Giants have been buried since March. So I am no totally surprised that Scott McClain's story has been a bit buried. Scott McClain is a September call-up for the Giants and he hit his first major league home run on September 3rd. This was not your average September call-up home run. Scott McClain's first major league home run came on the heels of 287 career minor league home runs. His major league debut came 10 years ago - with the Rays, when they were possessed by the Devil. He is 37 years old and hitting his first home run with the Giants - is rather fitting. Despite his age - McClain is still considered young talent by the Bay. He was drafted in 1990 - almost 2 decades before hitting his first major league home run.
