SF Giants manager Bob Melvin requiring everyone in team's dugout to stand during national anthem
SAN FRANCISCO (KGO) — San Francisco Giants manager Bob Melvin is now requiring everyone in the team’s dugout to stand during the national anthem.
Melvin says the decision is more about letting the other team know that the black and orange are ready to play.
He adds that the same rules applied during his time as manager with the A’s and the Padres.
VIDEO: Giants introduce Bay Area native Bob Melvin as new manager
The San Francisco Giants have hired manager Bob Melvin away from the division rival San Diego Padres.
Melvin occasionally cracked down if he noticed a lack of participation during the national anthem.
He says the team is embracing the policy change.
Bob Melvin, a Bay Area native and former Giants player who also managed a decade in Oakland, was formally announced as San Francisco’s new manager last October, replacing Gabe Kapler.
