Major League Head Shot Day
Starting at 7 AM this morning the 95 coaches and players at our Major League camp stopped by to have their official head shot taken – this is when we take the images we use on the scoreboard at AT&T Park, in the Giants Magazine, Yearbook, Media Guide and other publications through the year. After their formal portrait it taken we always take an additional photo for when we need a casual studio shot.

Fruit and Bases and WBC, Oh My
Many of the Giants players have been stopping by the Visitors Clubhouse this week to have their photos taken for the Jr. Giants Handbook, and while they were here those who will be leaving for the WBC next week had some fun with flags.
