1. He has more career grand slams than Derek Jeter.

2. In one year! (2014)

But I don't remember Jeter ever going to the Home Run Derby - even in his narcissistic good-bye tour.

3. In his dreams, sure.

If you had posted the article it would be clear the Giants organization would not allow that.

4. So you are saying that NL pitchers, even Mad Bum, have no business in hitting contests?

[Yavin4]

5. And the Giants should do everything in their power to stop him

Bad idea. Really, really bad idea.

6. Guess he will have to settle for hitting them from the batting cage.....

during batting practice. KNBR's John Wilson, SF Giants radio announcer thinks enough of Bumgarner's hitting prowess to give reports during the game. Like his pitching, when he's on, really on his game, he's a formidable force to reckon with.
