SCOTTSDALE, Ariz.–As he enters his final season as a major league manager, Bruce Bochy is set to become the fifth person in MLB history to manage 25 consecutive seasons.
His company? Hall of Famers Connie Mack, John McGraw, Tony LaRussa and Sparky Anderson.
“It’ll be 25 consecutive years without a break, I think that’s what I appreciate,” catcher Buster Posey said Tuesday. “Just the relatively short amount of time I’ve spent in the big leagues or in baseball compared to him, you understand just the grind and the toll of a professional season.”
A day after Bochy offered an emotional address to Giants players revealing the 2019 season will be his last as the team’s manager, the Giants expressed awe for what their manager has accomplished in a storied career.
