SAN FRANCISCO -- Tim Hudson walked out to the field one last time Saturday afternoon to be greeted by his teammates and family as the Giants organization honored the veteran pitcher for his career accomplishments and wished him well with his retirement.
Longtime Giants broadcaster Jon Miller, who hosted the pregame ceremony, was the first to congratulate Hudson. Miller guided fans to the scoreboard screen where former coaches and teammates, including retired Braves manager Bobby Cox, sent their wishes to the veteran in video form.
Giants president Larry Baer, manager Bruce Bochy and Saturday's starting pitcher, Jake Peavy, all stepped to the podium to offer their thoughts on Hudson's achievements on and off the field.
