Bay Area brothers to reunite on baseball field, play same position in Giants-Mariners game

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. — Seattle Mariners outfielder Braden Bishop and San Francisco Giants prospect Hunter Bishop shared almost everything together growing up in San Carlos, Calif.

For the first time on Thursday, the brothers will share the same field. They’ll also play the same position.
