This was one of the last afternoons Moore had in Tampa, where he lives during the off-season, before heading to Scottsdale, Arizona, for spring training with his current team, the San Francisco Giants, and he wanted to take advantage of the gorgeous weather. “It was by far the most efficient charter I’ve been on,” Moore said. “The captain put us on fish right away, and it was a really nice day out.”
