OAKLAND, Calif.—Not until Angels rookie Logan O'Hoppe had completed his first big league home-run trot and returned to the dugout did he catch his breath and fully realize what had just happened.
He put on a straw hat with the Golden State Warriors logo and got swarmed with love, handshakes and hugs from his teammates.
