Bochy, the only Giants manager to win a World Series title in San Francisco, told reporters on Monday he’s stepping down after the season–his 13th with the orange and black.
“In my mind, it’s time,” Bochy said to MLB.com. “It’s been an unbelievable ride. There is so much I’m grateful for, with the players, the city, the fans. It’s time now.”
The Giants took to Twitter to honor Bochy.

And the skipper himself, who joined Twitter just last year, posted a thank you message to the fans.
