Spring training takes away the travel that baseball players have to deal with during the regular season, which means they have plenty of free time.
Lucas Giolito, Dylan Cease, Zack Burdi and Nick Madrigal used some of that free time at a Dave & Buster’s in Arizona for an arcade Olympics and NBC Sports Chicago was there to film it. Chuck Garfien hosted the competition and things got heated. Turns out professional athletes are very competitive.
The banter was classic with four-player pong, racing games, basketball, air hockey and plenty more.
Dylan Cease struggled and Lucas Giolito was able to get a cheap shot in.
