After the Giants provided Bruce Bochy with his 2,001st career victory Sunday, they delivered a memorable send off for his final flight as their manager.
The Giants surprised their beloved skipper before boarding the flight from Atlanta to San Francisco after Sunday’s 4-1 win by having the entire traveling party don “#ThankyouBoch” T-shirts, as well as Bochy-sized 8 1/8 hats.
They also utilized their Delta Airlines plane, and even the Atlanta International Airport’s ground crew, to help fly him home in style. Bochy’s No. 15 was plastered on the side of the plane and there was a water salute to him as the plane taxied toward the runway to carry him home for the last road trip in his 25-year managerial career.
