Last week, frontman James Hetfield spoke with MLB.com's Amy Gutierrez about the band taking batting practice before a game at the park in a new online video.

"Get there early as we'll be on hand to do all the fun pre-game rituals," advised Metallica when the event was announced. "... the National Anthem, throwing out the first pitch, and so on. If you're into Metallica, baseball and, most importantly, the San Francisco Giants, make sure you snag a ticket for the game."

A special event ticket package is available that includes a ticket, an exclusive Metallica/Giants-themed inflatable guitar and a Metallica/Giants-themed guitar pick tin.
