Member Andy got a terminal cancer diagnosis a couple weeks ago. He came to the field today to say bye to a staff member and ground.
Instead he was met by 7 Giants players. We gave him this at-bat while his best mate Danny wheeled him around the bases. Love this game.

Hey
@twittlions
fans! Byung-Heon Lee just cleared the bases with an RBI double to put the Adelaide Giants up 4-0!
16-year-old Riley Yeatmen grew up watching us play, chasing foul balls and cheering us on.
Now he's signed a contract and will travel to Brisbane with the team.
Home town kid living out his dream.

To all our supporters, thank you for an amazing season. Our team bonded from day 1, and a thrilling journey led us to the very last game.
A Minor Premiership. ABL record 7 walk-off wins. ABL record 31-inning shutout streak. Just some of the things we are proud of.
History.

Now he gets to catch the best player in the world on Opening Day.
βThe OβHoppes are criers, there were definitely some tears," O'Hoppe said to the media.
Enjoy the moment. You've earned it.
10% of players who have suited up for the Adelaide Giants over the course of our history have played in the MLB. Let that sink in.
This league needs to be talked about more as an elite level of Australian sport.
