SAN FRANCISCO — It’s not a matter of if but when Bruce Bochy will be inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame.
As Bochy wraps up his 25th consecutive season as a major league manager, the San Francisco Giants are preparing an emotional celebration and a tribute to his historic tenure. The only ceremony that will top Bochy’s de-facto retirement party on Sunday at Oracle Park is the gathering that will occur in Cooperstown down the road.
Bochy is one of 10 managers with three World Series rings, 11 with 2,000 career wins and 12 with at least eight career playoff appearances.
