As the Giants start to arrive back in their hometowns, they're figuring out on the fly how to stay in shape for a baseball season on pause due to the coronavirus pandemic. Some are lucky enough to have indoor cages or their own pitching mounds.

Mike Krukow can relate, considering what he did in 1981 when he dealt with a similar situation. Krukow, then a starter for the Chicago Cubs, took to local parks when a strike shut the game down for nearly two months.
