    Credit to the broadcast team who knew that his family was in the stands and already had a camera on them. Wonderful for such a moment to be caught on camera to make it immortal.

    So surreal, awesome and unexpected! You couldn't script this! Given Camarena's long struggle to make it to the show, persevering after his father passed away to arrive at this moment of hitting a grand slam for his first MLB hit in his home town in front of his entire family with two strikes against arguably one of the best pitchers in MLB, and inspiring the Padres to overcome an 8-0 deficit, it was just so special and incredible to see and hear it live at Petco ! And that pitch by Scherzer wasn't even a strike! Best baseball moment I've ever witnessed! Reminds me of Jim Morris (portrayed by Dennis Quaid in "The Rookie"), only better... Someone should make an inspiring movie about Camarena's life!

    I'm into watching this drama these days.
    It's “SD Fadres”
    Today's hero is Camarena, who drove everyone crazy at 1:19
    It’s amazing

    I was watching this game and I said that would be amazing if he hit a grand slam for his first hit for slam Diego not knowing he was a pitcher

    Bad timing right Don. I must have watched his 50 times already and I don't get old it just gets better.

    Somewhere in Chula Vista, there's a loser or two who works at 7-11...or at Roberto's...who brags to any customer within earshot: "No big deal. Shit, I struck his ass out when we played Cathedral back in 2010."
