The Giants are at Wrigley Field to play the Chicago Cubs this weekend, which means a beloved tradition is back.
As is customary, San Francisco sent their rookies — including first-year MLB manager Tony Vitello — on a morning coffee run for the team before Saturday’s loss to the Cubs.
One Chicago fan was lucky enough to spot the journey in person, capturing photos of the Giants’ youngsters (in regards to major league service time), each in full uniform carrying several coffees.
Now I was lucky enough to run into the traditional “Rookie Coffee Run” by the #sfGiants rookies this morning! It’s always been on my photo bucket list to witness and take some photos of it. ☕ pic.twitter.com/uUk3u2XzzN

One Giants rookie, top prospect Bryce Eldridge, even had some fun with intrigued passersby.
Per The San Francisco Chronicle’s Susan Slusser, when people filmed the team on their coffee run, Eldridge decided to film them back, saying he “felt like Justin Bieber.”
Bryce Eldridge says everyone in the street was filming them so he was filming people back. “I felt like Justin Bieber,” he says.

At least they got to use the credit card of Matt Chapman — who certainly can afford it with his $151 million contract — according to another rookie, Carson Seymour.
For once, Drew Gilbert didn’t seem all that pleased. He’ll have to wait until he graduates next season to put a smile back on his face.
