PEORIA, Ariz.–Bruce Bochy’s ride as the longest-tenured manager in baseball will come to an end on the final day of the Giants’ season.
Ichiro Suzuki’s run as the game’s most experienced position player will likely finish sooner.
As Ichiro’s Mariners prepare for a trip to the outfielder’s home country of Japan and the Giants gear up for Bochy’s last year in the dugout, a pair of future Hall of Famers acknowledged one another Wednesday evening in Peoria.
Before a Cactus League game between the Mariners and Giants, Ichiro and teammate Jay Bruce approached the visiting dugout to congratulate Bochy on his upcoming retirement.
