The San Francisco Giants play their home games at Oracle Park in San Francisco, California.
One of the coolest things to see at this ballpark is a home run blasted into McCovey Cove that resides over the right field wall.
Baseball fans sit in their canoes and kayaks out in the cove waiting for an opportunity to grab a home run ball.
Usually, these home runs are hit by left-handed hitters as they have the advantage of hitting for power in that direction.
According to SFGiants on ‘X,’ Heliot Ramos made history on Sunday as the first right-handed hitter to hit a home run into the water.

Oracle Park opened in the year 2000 and had never had a right-handed hitter hit a home run into McCovey Cove until Ramos on Sunday.
Ramos came up in the 9th inning and hit the game-tying home run off of San Diego Padres closer Robert Suarez.
The home run that Ramos hit was estimated to be 394 feet and was almost directly down the right-field line.
Ramos has 21 home runs on the year, but it is safe to say that this will be the most memorable one.
The most well-known player to hit home runs into McCovey Cove is the MLB career leader in home runs himself, Barry Bonds.
Although Ramos hit this memorable home run Sunday, the Giants ended up losing the game 4-3 to the Padres.
The Giants find themselves 9.5 games out of the last wild-card spot in the National League and are unlikely to make the 2024 postseason.
