Desire to win keeps driving Bochy

Giants manager Bruce Bochy has those sleepy eyes, that slow way of speaking, but don't be deceived.

Bochy is the game's ultimate warrior.

His bio carries the notation that he is one of eight French-born big league players in history, the first European-born manager to take his team to the postseason and the first French-born manager to win a World Series.

The rest of the story is he was born in France because his father, Sgt. Maj. Gus Bochy, was stationed in France at that time.

During his youth, Bochy also lived in the Panama Canal Zone, South Carolina, northern Virginia and Melbourne, Fla.
