For one family, they have built a lifelong bond with the team after hosting over a dozen players in their home for almost a decade.
"I've been going to San Jose Giants games since I was very young," said Tiffany Fuentes, a fan of the Giants who served as a host family for players starting in 2012 until the program ended."I just think going to a local ballpark and having that hometown atmosphere — You're very close to the players. There's a lot of interaction."
"We had no idea. We didn't really understand how the whole minor league system worked at the time," she told KPIX."It's very rewarding knowing that we have been able to play a part in their lives and seeing how hard it is, what they go through to make it to the big leagues." "It was a great experience, just to see how happy everybody was. We were able to take pictures with the trophy," Fuentes recalled.
