SAN FRANCISCO – Tim Hudson, all of 40 years old and in his last major league appearance Thursday afternoon, painted a fastball for a third strike against hyped Dodgers rookie Corey Seager.
The grand game goes on and on. Only the names change.
Seager will be around a long time. If he’s lucky, he’ll get 17 seasons in the big leagues, find his way to a World Series ring and a standing ovation on his way out the door. Howie Kendrick might have whistled the last pitch of Hudson’s career into center field for a single, but that did not dampen the applause as he doffed his cap to a standing ovation in the third inning of the Giants’ 3-2 loss to the Dodgers at AT&T Park.
