Kevin Gausman grew up about half an hour from Coors Field and pitched in a game there as a high schooler. For a decade since then, the Giants pitcher has thought about what it would be like to return home and pitch in front of family members and friends.
Gausman pictured himself buying out an entire section of Coors Field, where he used to come every summer and get the cheap seats in the outfield.
Gausman was drafted by the Orioles, which put him in the other league, but when his Atlanta Braves went to Denver last year, he was scheduled to finally start a game near his hometown.
