Veteran reliever Hunter Strickland is taking this whole “big league camp” thing literally.
Strickland, who’s in Spring Training with the Rays on a Minor League deal, is living this spring in a 28-foot bumper pull camper hooked up to his pickup truck in an RV park near Port Charlotte, Fla. It’s got “all the essentials,” the 32-year-old right-hander said: a chair, a bed, a propane grill and kids toys for when his wife and family arrive.
Strickland said he and his wife lived in a camper throughout the 2016 season, when he put together a 3.10 ERA in 61 innings over 72 appearances with the Giants, and enjoyed it.

Over their 138-season history, the Giants have seen scores of talented players become synonymous with the numbers on the backs of their jerseys. Here’s a look at the best Giants player to wear each uniform number:
Oliver batted .298 with a .705 OPS over 91 games with the Giants in 1984 before being dealt to the Phillies in exchange for Kelly Downs and George Riley in a midseason trade.
Known as “HacMan,” Leonard endeared himself to Giants fans by trotting around the bases with his left arm tucked into his body one flap down. His signature moment came in 1987, when he crushed four homers against the Cardinals in the National League Championship Series and took home Series MVP honors despite the Giants losing in seven games.
