After Batkid proved an astounding success — by not only allowing San Franciscans to temporarily forget their woes, but also by reaching a $50,000 fundraising goal — lanky Giants pitcher Matt Cain and his wife, Chelsea, matched the donation.
Their generosity also coincided with a charity event where cops flung themselves into frigid Bay waters.
