Living out a youthful dream, an intrepid reporter and editor takes the field at Oracle Park to experience Giants Fantasy Camp. Here’s what went down.
Hobbling toward San Francisco’s Oracle Park, something told me this would be a humbling assignment.
But the assignment soon reminded me why so many of us love the game, so much so that dozens of adults would take off work in the middle of the week to attend a fantasy camp. Tom Sanfilippo, of San Mateo, stands on the warning track in the outfield while warming up during SF Giants Fantasy Baseball Camp at Oracle Park in San Francisco, Calif., on Monday, Nov. 21, 2022.
Tom Miles, of Redmond, Oregon, plays air guitar before going up to bat during SF Giants Fantasy Baseball Camp at Oracle Park in San Francisco, Calif., on Monday, Nov. 21, 2022. As a left-hander, there were only a few positions I was allowed to play growing up. So I hung out around first base to take some grounders and hid out in left field. That was one of the highlights of my day at fantasy camp, standing in the same spot where Barry Bonds snagged fly balls. But I took some hacks in the batting cage behind the dugout and hit a few solid liners.
