SAN FRANCISCO -- The Giants' 2017 season symbolically drew closer Wednesday as the calendar turned to February and the team's equipment truck headed for Spring Training and Major League camp in Scottsdale, Ariz.
Moving men pushed, rolled and yanked exercise paraphernalia and bundles of baseball gear onto an 18-wheeler bound for Giants camp. Brad Grems, the Giants' home clubhouse coordinator, said the truck should arrive by Friday morning. This will afford him and his staff ample time to turn Scottsdale Stadium's main clubhouse into the Giants' home away from home through the end of March.
Grems estimated that the truck is hauling 15,000 pounds of Giants goods to the Scottsdale complex.
