Giants will display cardboard cutouts of fans at games, a move that has gone poorly elsewhere

Are we about to see a cardboard cutout of someone very bad at a San Francisco Giants game this summer?

The San Francisco Giants will play games at Oracle Park without fans due to the coronavirus pandemic, but the team informed season ticket holders in an email Thursday that fans can submit photos of themselves that will then be turned into large cardboard cutouts and displayed in empty seats during games.

The cutouts, putatively made of "weatherproof material" in case it rains, will be placed as close as possible to the seats of season ticket holders. Non-season-ticket holders can also submit images to be used as cardboard cutouts for a $99 fee.
