There have been 106 splash hits in Oracles 25 year history. Barry Bonds has the most, at 35. Who’s second? Bonds hit the first one, on May 1, 2000. In fact, Bonds hit the first nine. Who hit the tenth. Bonds is also the only Giant to do it twice in a game, and though it’s not officially a splash hit if it’s hit by a visiting team, one other player has hit two balls I to the Bay; who was it?

I would guess a lefty power hitter playing for the Giants, so...Brandon Belt.
Bonds hit 23 out of the first 25 splash hits. The other two, and the first splash hit by someone other than Bonds, was Felipe Crespo.
The only other player beyond Bonds to hit two homers into McCovey Cove in the same game was Jack Suwinski, who played for the Pirates.
