Oakland Athletics outfielder Stephen Piscotty was activated from the bereavement list in time for Tuesday's game in Boston. His first at-bat?
What a moment.

It was last week when Piscotty came to bat for the first time since his mother's death and he was given a standing ovation. He promptly singled. The funeral services for Gretchen Piscotty -- after losing her nearly year-long battle with ALS -- were Monday. Piscotty was away from the A's for four days before his activation Tuesday.
And then he homered.
