Why was there a kayak sitting on top of the San Francisco dugout during Giants-Marlins?

During Saturday’s San Francisco Giants game against the Miami Marlins, the camera panned over to a very strange sight on top of the San Francisco dugout.

An empty kayak rested atop the dugout, seemingly for now reason at first. As strange as baseball games can get, it’s just, well, not common to see a random kayak just sitting on top of a team’s dugout during a game.

The broadcast indicated that the kayak almost assuredly had something to do with a bobblehead giveaway at the ballpark that day featuring Giants mascot Lou Seal.

To support the broadcast’s explanation, Lou Seal was hovering around the dugout where the kayak was, and it absolutely had something to do with the bobblehead giveaway. Lou Seal was probably doing some sort of skit with the kayak to mimic what was going on with the bobblehead.

However, it’s more enjoyable to just think Lou Seal was just doing mascot things around the dugout, and the kayak was just sitting there for no reason.

If you’re a Giants fan who was at the ballpark on Saturday, you probably knew why there was a kayak just sitting on top of the San Francisco dugout.

However, if you were just tuning into the game on television after the broadcast explained what was going on, you were probably very confused as to what an empty kayak was doing there. We can’t blame you!
