The actual game took a backseat when manager Gabe Kapler was among a number of San Francisco Giants who knelt during the national anthem prior to Monday's exhibition against the Oakland Athletics.
Kapler knelt along with first base coach Antoan Richardson and outfielders Jaylin Davis, Mike Yastrzemski and Austin Slater. What's more, shortstop Brandon Crawford stood but placed his hands on the shoulders of Davis and Richardson.
