SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. – Ricky Romero grew up in East Los Angeles, a 15-minute drive from Chavez Ravine. Dodger Stadium was his second home. He knows where to find the quickest freeway offramps and the shortest concession lines.

He spent his childhood booing the Giants. Now he’s one of them.

“When I signed here, my family was like, `Hey, OK, we’re wearing Giants colors too,’” Romero said.
