Affeldt takes role with Giants: 'Fell in love with San Francisco'

The Giants announced Friday that seven-year Giants veteran, 14-year Major Leaguer, three-time World Series champion and a member of the Giants “core four” pitching staff Jeremy Affeldt will rejoin the Giants
as a Community Ambassador for the 2016 season.

In his new role, Affeldt will represent the Giants during the season at a number of community and team related programs and events in San Francisco and throughout the Bay Area. He will also attend Giants Spring Training Camp in Scottsdale where he will serve as a guest instructor.

Affeldt retired at the end of the 2015 season and will forever be a fan-favorite in San Francisco, not only for his performance on the field but also for the contributions he made off the field.
