The relationship between San Francisco Giants manager Bruce Bochy and Tim Flannery, his long-time friend, teammate and third-base coach, has been well documented.
In fact, MLB Productions did so extensively earlier this year, releasing a documentary titled The Odd Couple: Bochy and Flannery, which focused on that friendship.
It's a special bond that dates all the way back to their playing days with the San Diego Padres in 1983. In an almost unprecedented show of loyalty — at least in the world of sports — the two remained side-by-side on and off the field for 31 years, right up until Flannery's retirement from coaching in November of 2014.
