The Brian Burns Celebrity Softball Game in Pomona turned into a showcase for Giants hopefuls. Running back Cam Skattebo belted a first‑pitch homer and celebrated with his signature backflip, drawing cheers from teammates and fans. Quarterback Jaxson Dart led the home‑run derby with seven long balls, while former star Odell Beckham Jr. spent two hours signing autographs at Clover Stadium.

Wide receiver Malik Nabers, still nursing a serious knee injury, appeared in every inning and managed a home run despite limping around the bases. His participation sparked talk about his Week 1 availability; coach John Harbaugh described the injury as “not simple,” leaving doubts about Nabers’ debut against Dallas on Sept. 13. The event also featured a dodgeball showdown among current and former Giants.

Organizers announced the charity drive collected $100,000 for the Brian Burns Family Charities, which focus on autism awareness after Burns’ brother Stanley’s son Champ was diagnosed with nonverbal autism. The fundraiser underscores the Giants’ community outreach and gives fans a tangible reason to rally behind the team as the season approaches. It also highlighted the bond between players and local supporters.
