Chad Santos replaced Aurilia at 1B. He went 0 for 1 but had 2 walks and scored a run. If you can magnify the photo, look at his left forearm. He has a word tattoo'd there in large block printing. Anyone know what it says?
Well, maybe not a SURE thing, but it looks & sounds Hawaiian. I found a Hawaiian translator, but it doesn't translate. The first letter could be something else. Or its a name as anonymous said
The tattoo is Chad's daughters middle name. Chad is born and raised in Hawaii to a Chamorro father from Guam and his mother is Hawaiian. Chad's grandparents from his father's side are originally from Saipan, Northern Mariana Islands.
I have been a Giants fan for as long as I can remember. I have had Giants Regular Season Tickets for 25 years (since 1985) and Spring Training Season Tickets since the "new" Scottsdale Stadium opened in 1992. I have gone to Spring Training every year, except the strike year, since 1987. I go to A LOT of Giants games. I also go to Arizona for the Arizona Fall League every October/November. I figure I attended about 125-130 games in calendar year 2008......almost all of them involving Giants players. Baseball is a great game.....Giants' baseball is the best part of a great game!

can't really tell, although it looks like its something in spanish
Its something Hawaian, i remember them talking about it when he got called up last year. I think he's Hawaiian.
I remember Santos having a tattoo, but what it says beats me.
kaluhiokala? The first letter is obscured by his batting glove, but I think it is a k. Hawaiian for sure.
Sure? As in a sure thing? Strange thing to have tatoo'd on you forearm.
could be a last name.. like a girlfriend's or relative's.. not sure though

I believe he has his child's name tatooed from what I recall. Also might be his wife too.

Kaluhiokalani is the name...It is the middle name of his wife and
daughter. The name has been carried for several generations.
