Ahead of the first Metallica Night at AT&T Park in San Francisco this Friday (May 3), MLB is sharing video of Giants pitcher Barry Zito hanging out and jamming with the metal legends.
Metallica will be on hand to kick off the San Francisco Giants’ home-opener against the Los Angeles Dodgers on Friday by performing the National Anthem and throwing out the ceremonial first pitch.
As part of the festivities, fans can bid on one, or both, of the custom made Giants guitars played during the anthem by Metallica members James Hetfield and Kirk Hammett.
The Hetfield axe is a one-of-a-kind custom made ESP "Snakebite" Giants guitar, while Hammett’s is one-of-a-kind custom made ESP "KH2 Vintage" Giants guitar; both will be signed by all four Metallica members for the auction.
Proceeds from the auction will be split 50/50 between The Giants Community Fund and The Bill Graham Memorial Foundation.
More details on the auction, the bidding deadline and a proxy bid form can be found here.
