Bob Melvin requiring entire Giants dugout to stand for national anthem in policy shift

When the national anthem is playing, the San Francisco Giants better be on the field.

Bob Melvin, the team’s new skipper, told USA Today’s Bob Knightengale that a new policy will go into effect this season and every person in the dugout will be required to stand on the field when the “Star Spangled Banner” plays.

It’s a drastic change from what the Giants used to do when Gabe Kapler was in charge, but Melvin claimed that the decision had nothing to do with politics.
Tom Lasorda required all Dodgers to be visible to fans during the anthem--if not on the field then must have one foot on the top dugout step...he maintained fans wanted to see the players during the playing...it was about selling tickets
