New Orleans Saints rookie oversees camp for San Marcos youth; proud of family connection to former Padres outfielder Gene Richards
“I’m a huge Padres fan,” Olave was saying Thursday at Mission Hills High in San Marcos. “They’re going to do a lot. I can’t wait to see them in the playoffs. It’s gonna be fun.”Bored as a boy on the baseball field, where he played center field, shortstop and second base, Olave said he gave up playing the sport at age 12.
