Together We’re Giant-Balldude/Balldudette Camp
Today aspiring Balldudes and Balldudettes took the field at AT&T Park to practice their skills and vie for the coveted job for an upcoming game. They took infield and outfield practice, batted and answered trivia questions in the hot corner. The proceeds go to the Giants Community Fund, who hosted the event with Giants alumni Bill Laskey and Rich Murray.
