Oracle Park is first in MLB to install heated benches, a welcome addition for bullpen denizens.
SAN FRANCISCO — Unlike its new food offerings or enhanced WiFi network, one upgrade at Oracle Park was installed over the offseason without fanfare. It will likely go unnoticed by fans, but especially on a dark and damp home opener, it wasn’t overlooked by relievers in both bullpens.“Usually you’re down there with your jacket and beanie,” added lefty Scott Alexander.
Any fan who can proudly wear a “Croix de Candlestick” pin understands that summer baseball in San Francisco isn’t always a blissful experience. Their newer waterfront ballpark is somewhat better at shielding the conditions, but there is no escaping the frequent wind, fog and moisture that passes through the Golden Gate on most days during the season.
“We don’t have too much coverage down there,” Whiting said. “It gets pretty cold, especially at night with the wind.”
