What didn't happen in McCovey Cove over the weekend? Superheroes raced each other on paddleboards, cats hung out by the water, and the cutest kayaker of them all got a souvenir to remember.

Curtis Granderson's second home run of Sunday's Mets-Giants game shot over AT&T Park's right-field wall and splashed into McCovey Cove, where a paddling dad fished it out of the water and gave it to his daughter:
