The first baseball game of the season brings lots of first experiences to a new player. Thankfully, baseball is a team sport, and the Giants are one supportive team!
Jersey tucked. Shoes laced. Helmet on. A young athlete steps up to the batter box for the first time. It's the first game of the baseball season, and the air is filled with excitement and anticipation. Created in partnership with Sports Illustrated Kids, experience the game through the eyes of a young athlete. From the thrill of a hit to the disappointment of a dropped ball, baseball is full of curveballs. But it's also full of sportsmanship, teamwork, resilience, and life lessons.
