Thursday was a day to remember for the Pirates' Jacob Stallings
Posted Jun 29, 2019
Jacob Stallings’ wife and son were at Minute Maid Park for the first two games of the Pirates’ series this week. Amy Beth and Emmitt, unfortunately, missed the best part. In the rubber match, Jacob Stallings hit his first big-league homer, drove in a pair of runs, and was on base four times, making for the most memorable day of his Major League Baseball career.
