What happened: A young fan brought custom-made "McGonigoggles" to the ballpark in June, the day Kevin McGonigle hit a home run.

Why it matters: McGonigle has since been named Rookie of the Year, the honor Sporting News gave him in its AL award.

By the numbers: McGonigle is the first rookie to lead his league in bWAR since Mike Trout in 2012.

What to watch: McGonigle's next games come in the 2027 season.
