It ended with Bailey chugging around third base and then getting mobbed by teammates at home plate after becoming the third catcher in major league history to hit a walk-off, inside-the-park home run.
Bailey said his initial thought was to get a triple before he saw third-base coach Matt Williams waving him in.
It was the first time in nearly nine years that a player hit a walk-off, inside-the-park home run in the majors.
The three-run homer lifted the Giants to a 4-3 victory that had the Oracle Park crowd roaring as Bailey crossed the plate.
Bailey couldn't recall whether he had previously hit an inside-the-park home run at any level.
