Back in 2021, San Francisco Giants fans were taken by surprise when Buster Posey announced his unexpected retirement.

I tend to think the two overlap enough to be the same thing, but I digress.
After that, there were only two players left who had been on any of the World Series winning teams, and 2022 saw the departure of Brandon Belt from the team, but not the game.
