Welcome to Fanfest Sunday! You can find a PDF of the Fanfest map through this hyperlinked text. A full schedule of the events has not been published yet, but we do know a few things.
This year, doors will open at 10:00 am, and there will not be a fanfare of player introductions, so bad news if you're a fan of Dick Callahan's booming voice. Aside from that, all the other events that were scheduled last year appear on the map, and will be streaming online at www.athletics.com.
