Bruce Bochy’s final homestand: loads of nostalgia plus a desire to win more games
San Francisco Giants manager Bruce Bochy viewed his retirement as a distant horizon when he announced it in February, with entire spring training and 162 games to manage. He still saw it that way through the months as he tended to the minutiae of trying to win games, which he promised he would vigorously attempt through the final inning. No level of myopia now can shield Bochy from the vision of his final day in the Giants dugout after 13 seasons.
