‘You’ll never have to buy a beer in this town again’: A goodbye letter to Bochy

Dave Tobener is a lifelong Giants fan whose family has had season tickets for over 30 years. He's been lucky enough to never miss a World Series game in The City in his lifetime, still isn't completely over 2002, and lives and dies with the Giants for six months out of every year. In this story, he says goodbye to the Giants' longtime manager, Bruce Bochy.

Dear Bruce,

I have to admit something – I didn't think you could do it.

When you were announced as the next Giants manager back in October 2006, I heard a radio interview with you where you said your goal was to bring a World Series championship to San Francisco.
