Here's hoping the Giants' first pick in the MLB Draft, Joey Bart, takes BART to AT&T Park
The San Francisco Giants had the No. 2 pick in the MLB Draft on Monday, and they used it to select catcher Joey Bart from Georgia Tech:

This marked just the second time the Giants owned the No. 2 pick (they used the first one to pick a young man named Will Clark a few years back).
The Bay Area's preferred method of mass transit, you may or may not already know, is BART -- Bay Area Rapid Transit. That's, um, perfect, isn't it?
Joey BART in San Francisco?

The marketing writes itself, @SFGiants. https://t.co/F39XAnikLo
And BART also weighed in:
The @SFGiants never go wrong when they choose BART. Welcome to the Bay, Joey! https://t.co/IJizeLQWMp

We don't know how things might look by the time young Mr. Bart joins the Major League club ... but if BART is still running, here's hoping he uses it for trips to AT&T Park. Just get off at Embarcadero and walk a few blocks, take a rideshare trip or the MUNI bus and he's there.
