Root root root for the home team… The San Jose Giants’ home opener is tonight at 6:30 p.m. against the Fresno Grizzlies at Excite Ballpark.
The defending Low-A West champions are back in action with an exciting 2022 season, which includes celebrating the 80-year history of their beloved ballpark.
Along with an opening night ceremony (which starts at 6 p.m.) + post-game fireworks, the team is offering a free 2022 schedule magnet for the first 1,000 fans through the gate — so let’s play ball.
⚾ Players to watch
This Single-A affiliate team of the San Francisco Giants has produced over 150 major league players — and this year is no exception.
Seven of the SF Giants’ top 30 prospects will begin the 2022 season in San Jose, including 2021 first-round draft pick + pitcher Will Bednar (#23), infielder Aeverson Arteaga (#11), and catcher Adrian Sugastey (#19).
