The celebration quickly made the rounds online, with the family\u2019s excitement matching the magnitude of the moment.<\/p>\n<p>The night only got louder from there.<\/p>\n<p>Susac singled on the first pitch he saw in the majors, then singled again on the second pitch he saw, and later added a third hit to cap off a standout debut. That final knock proved to be a little too much for Susac&#8217;s young nephew.<\/p>\n<p>The performance itself made the night even sweeter for the Susac family, which has deep ties to the Giants organization. Daniel\u2019s older brother, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.baseball-reference.com\/players\/s\/susacan01.shtml\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Andrew Susac<\/a>, played for San Francisco in 2015 and backed up <a href=\"https:\/\/www.baseball-reference.com\/players\/p\/poseybu01.shtml\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Buster Posey<\/a> during the Giants\u2019 championship era.<\/p>\n<p>By the end of the night, Susac had not only delivered one of the best debut starts in recent Giants memory, but it also helped create a viral family scene that made the occasion even more unforgettable.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/giants-talk-a-san-francisco-giants-podcast.simplecast.com\/episodes\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Download and follow the Giants Talk Podcast<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Daniel Susac\u2019s first MLB start already was turning into a dream night Thursday at Oracle Park, but for&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":661625,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2408],"tags":[5,61398,162,4,378,66,4343,4340,4344,4341,4342],"class_list":{"0":"post-661624","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-san-francisco-giants","8":"tag-baseball","9":"tag-daniel-susac","10":"tag-giants","11":"tag-mlb","12":"tag-san-francisco","13":"tag-san-francisco-giants","14":"tag-sanfrancisco","15":"tag-sanfranciscogiants","16":"tag-sf","17":"tag-sf-giants","18":"tag-sfgiants"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@mlb\/116343118648727978","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/661624","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=661624"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/661624\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/661625"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=661624"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=661624"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=661624"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
