Programming note: Watch the re-air of Travis Ishikawa's walk-off home run in Game 5 of the 2014 NLCS on Friday, April 3 at 1:35 on NBC Sports Bay Area.

Whenever this season starts, it'll be my ninth covering the Giants, and I'm often asked which moment over that time is most memorable. For me, it's an easy answer. No matter how long I do this, I don't think anything will ever be more entertaining than the night I stood on the infield dirt at Oracle Park and asked Jake Peavy a simple question.

"What were you doing?!?!"

A few minutes after Travis Ishikawa's walk-off home run in Game 5 of the 2014 National League Championship Series landed in the arcade, reporters were let out onto the field to interview players as they were honored as champions of the National League. It was mayhem, and in the middle of it, Peavy started laughing as a group approached. He had just tried to stop Ishikawa as he rounded third, and he gave an all-time explanation when asked what had happened. This, from my game story that night, just about sums it up:

There are certain moments that become indelible during a championship run, and the Giants have plenty that can be summed up with a word or two. Looking back on that postseason alone, you can recall vivid memories just by hearing things like "Crawford's slam," "18 innings," "Morse's homer," "Blanco's bunt," and, of course, "Game 7."

When it comes to the game-winner in the NLCS, all anyone has to hear is "Travis Ishikawa." If you watched that game, you'll never forget where you were when it ended, and that's why it's a perfect choice for what the Giants are doing Friday.

This was supposed to be their home opener, but COVID-19 has changed plans for all of us. Instead, stay home, stay safe and take part in "Opening Day at Home."

The Giants are encouraging their fans to stay in and watch a re-broadcast of the Ishikawa Game at 1:35 p.m. It will air on NBC Sports Bay Area and stream online at sfgiants.com. The stream also will be available on all of the organization's social channels, from YouTube to Facebook to Twitter. On Twitter -- it's @sfgiants, of course -- there will be special appearances, with Renel Brooks-Moon providing the lineups, Peavy performing the national anthem, and Mike Krukow providing a surprise message.

That was a special game, and hopefully, it helps you all get through the end of another week of sheltering in place. Stay safe and enjoy it. Oh, and be careful when opening that pack of gum.
