Cubs honor Giants manager Bruce Bochy before his final game at Wrigley Field

Giants manager Bruce Bochy waved farewell for the final time to Wrigley Field, a place he almost called home.

Before the Cubs’ 1-0 win against the Giants on Thursday, Bochy was honored at home plate with a piece of Wrigley Field scoreboard. He was joined by team president Theo Epstein, manager Joe Maddon and bench coach Mark Loretta and received a standing ovation.

“What a nice gesture,” said Bochy, who announced his plans to retire after this season at spring training. “These moments are special so me, they really are. I’ll miss coming here such a great atmosphere.
