Bruce Bochy retirement announcement brings flood of tributes

Not one of those #SFGiants’ teams in 2010, 2012, and 2014 were favored to win it all. Bochy pulled so many rabbits out of his hat. End of an unbelievable era.

Larry Baer on the Hall of Fame: “To me he’s a lock. The city of San Francisco is really proud of him, and as he goes through the season we’re going to have tributes. But I think the ultimate tribute will be Cooperstown. To us it’s a no-brainer.”

Bruce Bochy is one of 10 @MLB managers to win at least three World Series titles.

Nine are in the Hall of Fame. One day soon, Bochy will join them.@MLBNetwork @SFGiants https://t.co/W5AtddbXSf

Been a total pleasure covering Bruce Bochy as a manger. First met him on my first job when he was Benito Santiago’s backup on the Padres 20 million years ago.

A decade ago, it was a troll’s fiction, but today it’s genuine fact: Bruce Bochy defied the odds to become the greatest manager in San Francisco Giants history.

They should let CC start for the AL at the All-Star Game and let Bochy manage the NL team

Bruce Bochy, pictured here in a ridiculously phenomenal jersey, announced today that he'll retire as the #Giants manager following the 2019 season.

Bochy played in 166 games for Tidewater in 1981 and 1982, hitting .227 with 23 homers & 90 RBI.

Congrats on a heck of a career pic.twitter.com/XiayWInWTY
