""What's the ultimate dream for a high schooler? To play on a major league field. And this is an opportunity to do that.""
"The Giants have expanded a program that allows high school teams to earn the right to host a game at the ballpark during their spring season."
"In recent years, the Bruce-Mahoney game has been folded into the Dante Benedetti Baseball Classic, which is now a high school triple-header that benefits the Dante's Boys Foundation."
"The city's oldest high school sports rivals have also held an annual game at the stadium for about that long, contributing to the rich tradition of youth sports at Oracle Park."
Oracle Park will host nine high school baseball games this spring, the most in a single season for the Giants. High school teams earn the opportunity to play at the stadium by selling tickets to Giants games. The Academic Athletic Association has held its league championship game at Oracle Park since 2000. The Bruce-Mahoney Trophy game and the Dante Benedetti Baseball Classic also take place at the stadium, promoting youth sports and community engagement.
