In 1995, a season shortened by the players' strike that began a season earlier, Bruce Bochy stepped onto the field as a major league manager for the first time. In 2007, he took over as skipper of the San Francisco Giants, the team with which he truly made his name.
And last September, he earned his 2000th win when the Giants beat the Red Sox on Sept. 18 at Fenway Park.
Bochy retired at the end of the year, after winning 2,003 games during his career. It would be easy to say three of his biggest wins ever would be the ones in 2010, 2012, and 2014 -- all resulting in World Series victories for the Giants.
